In the alpha version 0.1.15 of Bitcoin, this is how a Bitcoin address got created.
'string strAddress = PubKeyToAddress(GenerateNewKey());'
the GenerateNewKey() function creates a new public/private key pair, PubKeyToAddress creates a string format...

..that represents the public Bitcoin address in a more friendly usable format.
As Satoshi mentioned:”As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a common owner.”
In the court case of Craig vs Kleiman, Craig needs to produce a list of the public addresses that were mined. Yet those addresses do not show who mined them and therefor are useless for the purposes of establishing who the rightful owner is.
