The Satoshi story continues, a lawyer takes on the Feds

-

You know the legend of Satoshi Nakamoto, the ghostly creator of Bitcoin? Well, a crypto lawyer named James Murphy is on a mission to unmask this enigma.

He’s suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the DHS to spill the beans on who they think is behind the Bitcoin curtain.

„Involved in Bitcoin’s creation”

Murphy’s move is based on a claim by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud back in 2019. She said she and her team met with four people involved in Bitcoin’s creation.

Now, Murphy wants to know if this meeting really happened and what was discussed.

He’s using the Freedom of Information Act to force the DHS to cough up any documents related to this alleged meeting.

Murphy’s not backing down, if the DHS resists, he’s ready to take it all the way.

Mystery

This isn’t the first rodeo for Satoshi sleuths. There have been plenty of attempts to unmask the mysterious creator.

Just recently, an HBO documentary suggested Peter Todd was the mastermind, but that got shot down fast.

Others like Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and the late Hal Finney have also been in the spotlight, but they’ve all denied being Satoshi.

Demands

The Bitcoin community is divided. Some think revealing Satoshi’s identity could be a big deal, while others worry it could ruin Bitcoin’s decentralized vibe and put the creator in danger.

But let’s be real, guys, the cat’s already out of the bag. If the U.S. government knows something, it’s time they shared.

After all, who doesn’t love a good mystery? The question is, are we ready for the truth?

Murphy’s lawsuit is a quest for transparency. If the DHS really did meet with Satoshi, he says we need to know what was said.

It’s time to separate fact from fiction and give the people what they want, answers. But the other, maybe more important question is, why people doesn’t want to give Satoshi, what he want, privacy?

Have you read it yet? XRP to the Moon, this time for real?
