A crypto lawyer has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding release of records related to the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator, known as Satoshi Nakamoto. The suit stems from alleged claims by DHS agents who claimed to have interviewed Nakamoto in California alongside other individuals involved in Bitcoin’s creation during an OffshoreAlert conference. 🚨SCOOP: Crypto Attorney Sues Department of Homeland Security in Bid to Unmask Satoshi Nakamoto@MetaLawMan https://t.co/WfPMJe335E — Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) April 7, 2025 The lawsuit argues that if the DHS agents did indeed meet individuals involved in Bitcoin’s development, official documentation should exist. James A. Murphy is requesting access to emails, internal reports, and notes confirming such a meeting. He believes public interest in financial systems demands transparency from government agencies regarding matters like this. Despite sending a direct appeal to DHS Secretary Christy Noem for voluntary disclosure, no response has been received yet. The case raises questions about Bitcoin’s origins as the world still remains unsure of who Satoshi Nakamoto actually is. This mystery continues to dominate cryptocurrency discourse despite decades passing since the initial creation of Bitcoin in 2008. Various names have been proposed as potential candidates for Nakamoto’s identity, including Peter Todd (suggested by HBO’s The Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery), and Jack Dorsey (with technical links presented by researcher Matthew Sigel). With institutional investments in Bitcoin skyrocketing due to the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the urgency to uncover the creator’s true identity has intensified. The lawsuit could force the DHS to confirm or deny their possession of documents related to Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity. This case may finally shed light on this long-lasting mystery in the cryptocurrency world.
