BlockBeats News, April 8th, according to Decrypt's report, a cryptocurrency lawyer believes that the U.S. government may hold the key to revealing the identity of Bitcoin's founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. On April 7th, James Murphy filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claiming that the department knows Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.
Murphy stated that his lawsuit aims to obtain information about a senior agent who claimed in 2019 that DHS had interviewed Satoshi Nakamoto. He referenced Agent Rana Saoud's comments, stating that the agent had traveled to California to speak with Satoshi Nakamoto and several others to understand the workings of Bitcoin.
Murphy believes that if the interview did take place, there should be records of it. He requested DHS to disclose all related documents, including speech transcripts, interview records, and any possible evidence. If DHS refuses to disclose, Murphy has stated that he will continue to pursue this case until the mystery is unraveled.
