In a surprising legal movement, the pro-crypto lawyer James Murphy, known as 'Metalawman' on the social media platform x (previously twitter), is demanding the United States National Security Department (DHS) in an attempt to reveal the true identity of Satoshi NakamotoThe enigmatic creator of bitcoin (btc).
DHS supposedly identified the creator of bitcoin
The lawsuit, presented in a DC district court, seeks to obtain information that Murphy believes that the DHS has retained with respect to the identity of Nakamoto, a mystery that has intrigued the cryptographic community since the beginning of bitcoin in 2009.
As exclusive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cryptoinamerica.com/p/crypto-attorney-sues-department-of” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”>report Therefore, Eleanor Terret points out, there has been a lot of speculation over the years about whether Nakamoto is an individual or a group of people, with several theories that circulate in the cryptographic community.
According to the reports, the lawsuit is anchored in the claims made by the special agent of the DHS, Rana Saoud, during a presentation at an industry conference in 2019. Saoud supposedly declared that the DHS had identified the creator of bitcoin, stating that it was not a single entity but a group of four people.
According to Saoud, these people were interviewed by national security agents in California, where they allegedly provided information about bitcoin's mechanics and the motivations behind its creation.
Despite these statements, the DHS has not publicly revealed the identities of these individuals. Murphy argues that if the government has this information, it should not be kept secret.
“bitcoin has become greatly popular among investors around the world and, consequently, there is an intense interest in the identity of bitcoin's creator,” Murphy told Terret.
Should the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto unmask?
According to the report, Murphy hopes to take advantage of the Trump administration commitment to increase the transparency of the government, believing that the secretary of the DHS, Kristi Noem, will voluntarily reveal Satoshi identity.
“My hope is that Secretary Noem adopt transparency in this case and share this information voluntarily,” Murphy said. However, it is prepared to pursue the litigation to its maximum extension if necessary.
The search to present Nakamoto has caused a division within the bitcoin community. Some enthusiasts are eager to discover the creator identitywhile others fear that doing so can tarnish the tradition that surrounds BiTcoin as a symbol of technological revolution and a lighthouse of freedom of government supervision.
Concerns are also raised that revealing Satoshi could undermine the decentralized nature of bitcoin, acMineral principle of cryptocurrency.
Last year, an HBO documentary entitled Money Electric: The bitcoin Mystery caused controversy by claiming to identified Nakamoto as Peter ToddA bitcoin nucleus developer. Todd vehemently denied these statements, criticizing the filmmaker for irresponsibility, since such revelations could endanger his safety.
When writing, btc quotes $ 80,300, registering a 7% drop in the monthly framework.
