Vernon, who is believed to be currently residing somewhere in Asia, did not respond to the allegations in court, a circumstance which led to this week's default judgment.
The order notably states that the more than 11,000 bitcoins taken from the exchange by Vernon are owed to the customers.
"The Court further declares that the 11,325.0961 [bitcoin] which were stolen from Cryptsy customers on July 29, 2014 and which, as of the date of this final judgment ... are property of the Plaintiff Class and subject to and encompassed within this Final Judgment," Marra wrote.
In a statement, attorney David Silver, who represents one of the two law firms involved in the class action, said that those who pushed for the result "are thrilled to have achieved a historic success," adding that work was underway to gain control of the 11 bitcoin wallet addresses listed in the court order.
Dear Craig Steven Wright aka Satoshi Nakamoto,
Please hard fork the Bitcoin blockchain so that we can return the 11,325.0961
BTC stolen from Cryptsy customers, thus earning our 33% salt.
We will be thrilled if you did this ASAP.
Thank you,
David Silver
