Bitcoin Lawyer Guy of IRC Legal stands tall against an anonymous plaintiff trying to steal Satoshi's Bitcoin.

ZyCrypto covers Ian R. Cohen — Bitcoin Lawyer Guy and founder of IRC Legal — and his filing to stay proceedings in the Noah Doe lawsuit targeting 3.8 million dormant bitcoin wallets worth $293 billion. Cohen described the plaintiffs' notification efforts as "broadcasting into the void" and warned a favorable ruling could spawn an entire industry of opportunistic "Bitcoin finders" targeting inactive wallets.
