From the article

"Patrick Paige and Carter Conrad, who run a Palm Beach County business called Computer Forensics, LLC, in which Kleiman was also a partner, formed their own suspicions about Satoshis identity after receiving a string of bizarre communications from Wright following Kleimans death in 2013
...
The next communication that Paige and Conrad received from Wright was stranger still. Emails provided to Gizmodo, the authenticity of which were confirmed by Paige and Conrad, show that in February 2014, 10 months after Kleimans death, Wright emailed the pair to tell them about a mysterious project hed been working on with their friend. As part of this undertaking, Wright wrote, Kleiman had mined an enormous amount of bitcoinsan amount too large to email. Wright asked them to ensure that Kleimans computers were safe, and to check whether their hard drives contained wallet.dat files, the pieces of software that contain bitcoins and their owners account information. On a subsequent phone call with Wright, a baffled Paige asked for more information about the partnership with Kleiman. After that, he said, Wright assumed a clandestine tone. Can I trust you?

According to Paige, Wright eventually told him that Kleiman was the creator of Bitcoin. Later, he clarified that the cryptocurrency was invented by a group of people which included Kleiman. If that was true, Kleiman was likely sitting on a fortune when he died in April 2013even if he were in possession of only half of Satoshis fabled million-bitcoin stockpile, that would have been worth about $65,000,000 at the time of his death. Wright made clear to Paige that he wasnt after the moneyhe only wanted to make sure that it made its way into Kleimans estate and didnt sit gathering dust in a digital vault.
...
Wright stopped calling and emailing them after he made contact with Kleimans brother, the executor of Kleimans estate. We knew one day a reporter would come calling, Paige said. But we left it at that.
