Crypto Lawyer Files Lawsuit To Force US Gov’t To Reveal Satoshi Nakamoto

A cryptocurrency lawyer has filed a case against the US Department of Homeland Security in an effort to uncover who actually invented Bitcoin.

James Murphy, also referred to online as ‘MetaLawMan,’ is requesting that the government hand over information regarding Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic figure behind the largest cryptocurrency in the world.

Lawsuit Targets Government Agency Over Bitcoin Creator Mystery

According to court documents filed in D.C. District Court, Murphy believes DHS is withholding crucial information about who invented Bitcoin.

The attorney has brought in former Assistant US Attorney Brian Field, an expert in Freedom of Information Act litigation, to strengthen his case.

Murphy’s lawsuit centers on statements allegedly made by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud at an industry conference in 2019.

The agent reportedly claimed during her presentation that the Department had identified not one person but four individuals as Bitcoin’s creators. These people were apparently interviewed in California, where they explained Bitcoin’s workings and their reasons for creating it.

The Department has never shared these names with the public, despite Bitcoin’s massive growth into a cryptocurrency with a market cap exceeding $1 trillion.
