Dave Kleiman (22 January 1967 – 26 April 2013)[1] was an American computer forensics expert, an author or co-author of multiple books and a frequent speaker at security related events.[2][3]

Craig Steven Wright claims Kleiman was involved in the invention of Bitcoin,[4][5] and that Wright himself was Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's main inventor. Wright's claims were subject to litigation in London,[6] where it was subsequently declared he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, did not write the Bitcoin white paper, nor wrote the Bitcoin software.[7]
