A crypto attorney, James A. Murphy, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to compel the agency to reveal its knowledge about the true identity of Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The lawsuit follows Murphy’s unsuccessful Freedom of Information Act request on February 12th seeking such information. He claims that DHS ignored his request, violating statutory obligations. 40 year old Murphy has made a public statement demanding access to documents related to a 2019 interview with Special Agent Rana Saoud. In the interview, she reportedly claimed to know Nakamoto’s identity and mentioned that four individuals were involved in creating Bitcoin, claiming he met with them regarding its development. The lawsuit argues this information is crucial given the current investment interest in Bitcoin and U.S. government plans to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Murphy has urged DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to voluntarily disclose the details of the case. If the agency doesn’t cooperate, he will continue legal action. 10 years have passed since Satoshi’s identity was first revealed, but many still wonder who it might be. Some prominent figures associated with Bitcoin are: Dorian Nakamoto (due to name similarities and technical expertise), Hal Finney (first person to receive a recorded BTC transaction), Adam Back (for his early work on cryptographic protocols like Hashcash), Wei Dai (creator of b-money, a precursor to Bitcoin), and Paul Le Roux (alleged connection to the first BTC transaction sent to Hal Finney). Peter Todd, a Canadian software developer and cryptographer, was featured in the HBO documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery”. He is rumored to be Satoshi Nakamoto based on his early activity on Bitcoin forums and similar writing style. Despite this speculation, Todd has firmly denied all claims calling them “ludicrous” and criticizing the speculative approach of the documentary.
