## Resource

A bold New York lawsuit seeks ownership of nearly 40,000 dormant Bitcoin wallets, claiming they’re abandoned property—some even tied to early miners and Satoshi Nakamoto himself. But experts warn: Bitcoin isn’t like a bank account. Without the private key or a regulated exchange, courts can’t magically unlock crypto. Plus, the legal notices sent to wallet addresses were technically flawed, missing coins stored in older formats. This high-stakes case is forcing a reckoning on digital asset ownership—and how old laws apply to a brand-new digital frontier.
