Australian Federal Police raided Craig Wright’s home in Sydney on Wednesday afternoon. Wright was recently identified as the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Wright is believed to be persuading the Australian Taxation Office to tax his Bitcoin holdings as a currency and not as an asset. Police said the raids were not at all associated with the recent Bitcoin claims on Wright. Neither Wright nor anyone else has publicly confirmed the real identity of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. Nakamoto reportedly has some 1.1 million Bitcoins to his name in a trust fund that amounts to roughly 455 Million in US Dollars.
