Courts don't have the technical know-how to determine crypto fraud, private keys, stuff like that. Heck, the Japanese court "resolved" the mtgox case by giving a low USD-equivalent on bitcoins that had multiplied their USD-value several times. In the meantime they left the rest of the BTC to the custody of third parties that were using these BTCs to manipulate BTC price... I think it was Kraken who said that the trustee was destroying the order book instead of opting for auctions (as suggested by Kraken).

In any case, the courts asked for something from CW and he has to deliver "something". I have no doubt he will deliver "something" because he needs to do it or else face possible sanctions, from what I read. Heck, he might have made enough money in the recent rumor-based SV pump that he can actually settle the case outside of the courtroom without losing face from a possible conviction
