A bitcoin attorney thinks the United States government has the answer to Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, as one of its biggest mysteries.

James Murphy sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday, alleging the company is aware of Nakamoto’s identity.

Murphy, who dubs himself the” MetaLawMan,” explained the justification for the lawsuit in a post on X ( previously Twitter ).

According to Murphy,” My FOIA lawsuit seeks records regarding allegations made by a senior DHS Special Agent that DHS had located and interviewed Crypto father Satoshi Nakamoto.”

The Freedom of Information Act, which was established in July 1966, gives the general public access to federal government agency data. FOIA’s goal is to promote accountability and transparency.

Hal Finney, Gavin Andresen, Nick Szabo, Adam Again, Len Sassaman, Craig Wright, Dorian Nakamoto, Elon Musk, and, more just, Peter Todd have all been suspected individuals over the years. All have either denied or had their assertions disputed.

At the 2019 Offshore Alert Conference on Financial Intelligence and Investigations, a national representative allegedly claimed that DHS had spoken with Nakamoto in California and was named in the complaint as Special Agent Rana Saoud.

” We received reprimand from office, but we decided to send the broker if he wants to talk to him and we have the money?” Let’s see how this functions, Saoud supposedly said. There were three other persons present, according to the providers who flew to California and saw that he wasn’t the only one. They sat down, spoke with them, and discovered the purpose of their creation and how it all functions.

There should be evidence of the material of the meeting, Murphy said,” If the meeting actually happened as the DHS Agent claimed.”

According to Murphy’s lawsuit, the meeting records may prove critical because Bitcoin investment proposals are being considered by policymakers.

In response to Murphy’s request for information on interviews with people purportedly or claiming to become Satoshi Nakamoto, he requested that DHS transfer records, including a record of Saoud’s remarks at a 2019 seminar and any supporting documentation.

The continuous mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto’s personality, which has fomented rumors and constitutional battles for years, is now bolstered by the FOIA complaint.

After years of legal tussle with the Bitcoin Open Patent Alliance, a U.K. jury decided Craig Wright wasn’t Nakamoto. Wagon second made a claim to get Nakamoto in December 2015.

Murphy is determined to find solutions and hasn’t ruled out people.

Murphy wrote,” It’s entirely possible that the DHS adviser was misinformed and that DHS did never meeting the real Satoshi.” ” I may pursue the case to finish to solve this mystery if DHS prevents reporting.”
