The FBI has refused to confirm or deny the existence of any records related to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency. The FBI’s response came in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by journalist Daniel Oberhaus with the FBI’s FOIA public liaison, David M. Hardy.
Oberhaus filed the FOIA request to obtain any documents related to Satoshi Nakamoto, including any potential investigations into his identity. However, the FBI’s response was ambiguous, stating that they could neither confirm nor deny the existence of such records.
The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a mystery since the creation of Bitcoin in 2009. Many theories and claims have been made about who Satoshi Nakamoto really is, but no concrete evidence has ever been presented.
The FBI’s response adds to the intrigue surrounding the elusive creator of Bitcoin. With their refusal to confirm or deny the existence of records related to Satoshi Nakamoto, the mystery of his true identity continues to captivate the cryptocurrency community and beyond.
