Over the last several years, there have been a number of opinions issued by district courts continuing to rely upon their “inherent authority” to sanction parties for the loss of electronically stored information (ESI). Similarly, we have seen broader use of various types of evidentiary instructions as “curative measures” under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(e)(1). The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ recent opinion in Gregory v State of Montana, 118 F.4th 1069, 2024 WL 4312740 (9th Cir. 2024) is a strong signal that Rule 37(e) is the only means available to a district court to impose any type of discovery sanction for the loss of ESI. The opinion also sends a strong message limiting the use of some evidentiary instructions absent the showing of “specific intent” to deprive.

What Is Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)?
Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a database of information that’s shared and duplicated across a network of computers in different locations. In contrast to a centralized ledger, it’s a flexible system of recording information. The information on the ledger, or record, is updated by those participating in the network, rather than by a central authority. The ledger can be accessible to some or all users, and the information stored on it can be verified and audited. Peer-to-peer transfers that have value can be recorded on a DLT. The value transferred could be money, securities, or even personal information.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that was created and issued independent of a central bank or government. Users can purchase bitcoins through an exchange and store them in a digital wallet. They can then purchase goods or services from vendors who accept payment in bitcoin. Transactions using bitcoin are made using encrypted codes, which are exchanged across a peer-to-peer network with anonymity. Digital wallets hold bitcoin addresses, which are unique indicators consisting of alphanumeric characters. Those making purchases can start a transfer request from their bitcoin address.

Cryptocurrency is generally defined as a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security and operates independent of a government, central bank, or similar authority. Cryptography is used to regulate the release of currency units and to verify financial transactions. Users of cryptocurrency generally send to each other through a peer-to-peer network, while remaining anonymous. The currency transfers occur through public and private keys. Every transaction is a file that includes the public keys of the sender and the recipient, as well as the amount of currency transferred. The transaction also requires the sender to confirm the transfer with a private key.
