"I do not want to be your posterboy. I am not found and I do not want to be."<p>Why oh why can't journalists just respect his wishes!<p>"People love my secret identity and hate me."<p>It certainly seems that the Australian police aren't on particularly good terms with him at the moment.<p>If the Australian government takes control of the Tulip Trust bitcoin stash, the world has to deal with a cryptocurrency being managed by politicians.<p>Whoever gets them, I hope that the bitcoins remain off the market until at least 2020 as Kleiman wanted.<p>Which makes me think - could the bitcoins from Kleiman be considered "inherited", and thus subject to inheritance regulations?<p>Another hypothetical thought: when the original bitcoin creator mined the first bitcoins, they were worthless. They only gain value if someone else projects value onto them. They're not being used. Imagine they're a form of trading derivative (e.g. stock options): the right to trade in future. Are those taxed? Anyhow, it seems very complicated, and confiscating personal computers with a whole host of other files seems extreme.
