Crypto attorney James Murphy has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claiming that the agency knows the identity of Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Murphy's lawsuit arises from an alleged 2019 statement by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud, who mentioned at a conference that DHS had interviewed Nakamoto. The lawsuit seeks documentation of this meeting, suggesting that such records could be critical as policymakers consider investing in Bitcoin. Murphy argues that if the interview occurred, documentation should exist, and he aims to uncover the truth surrounding Nakamoto's identity, a mystery that has captivated the crypto world for years. Previous claims regarding Nakamoto's identity have involved various individuals, all of whom have denied being the creator, but the true identity remains unverified. Murphy intends to pursue the case until he finds answers.
