AI Summary
A dormant Bitcoin address from March 2011 moved 35.55 BTC after receiving a legal notice from a lawsuit filed in New York claiming ownership over 39,069 inactive wallets. The lawsuit, brought by a pseudonymous plaintiff and two Wyoming LLCs, seeks title to approximately 3.8 million BTC under lost-property law, with defendants notified via OP_RETURN transactions. The wallet's activity indicates that some so-called Satoshi-era coins targeted as abandoned remain under the control of their original holders.
