The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal in Moscow has ordered a citizen to disclose the contents of his blockchain.info wallet as part of the real estate estimation process in bankruptcy proceedings. The move is at odds with a case in February, when a court ruled out classifying bitcoin holdings as property because of a lack of official regulation. The citizen's lawyer will challenge the decision. In that case, the judge said he would not accept any information from an individual who had no legal right to access such information.
