Clayton Utz dropped bitcoin ‘creator’ over document integrity

Big six law firm Clayton Utz dropped a company associated with Craig Wright as a client because it was concerned about “the integrity of documents” the self-claimed creator of bitcoin gave it and the Australian Taxation Office.

Clayton Utz partner Andrew Sommer, who represented Dr Wright’s entities in the early 2010s, wrote to Ramona Watts, Dr Wright’s wife and director of one of his firms, DeMorgan Limited, to state the law firm was terminating its engagement with the company.
