The European Union has announced a 25% additional customs duty, while Trump has threatened a 50% tax against China. Thus, a nightmare week begins for cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, a significant lawsuit is set to commence in the U.S., demanding the revelation of the identity of Bitcoin 
$91,967’s founder.
Lawsuit to Uncover Bitcoin Creator’s Identity
Terrett has published a new study indicating that there is a push to disclose Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity. This is an unprecedented move in the cryptocurrency realm. The lawyer, known as MetaLawMan, who has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is closely monitoring developments related to cryptocurrency lawsuits.
James Murphy, the real person behind the pseudonym, has applied to the DC District Court, making this effort the latest attempt to reveal Nakamoto’s identity. The mysterious founder, who sparked Bitcoin by announcing “the Chancellor on the brink of a bank bailout” back in 2009, might be astonished if he were aware of today’s scenario.
Murphy claims that the DHS has kept Nakamoto’s identity secret thus far. With the support of Brian Field, a former U.S. Assistant Prosecutor specializing in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) cases, he has now taken action.
Who is the Bitcoin Creator?
The basis for the lawsuit raises the question: Does the U.S. know about this? This aspect stems from claims made by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud in 2019, who stated that the Department had identified the founder of Bitcoin. It turned out that Nakamoto’s identity is not attributed to a single person but rather to a group of four individuals who allegedly brought Bitcoin to life.
According to Saoud’s claims, DHS agents spoke with these individuals, who explained why and how they initiated Bitcoin. However, the Department has yet to reveal their names. Did Rana Saoud make these claims for attention? It seems unlikely for a former agent to make such a statement lightly. Perhaps it’s merely a rumor, allowing him to speak so freely.
James Murphy, who filed the lawsuit, stated;
“If the government truly possesses this information, as claimed by the DHS Special Agent, it should not be withheld from the public. Bitcoin has gained immense popularity among investors worldwide, leading to high interest in the identity of its creator. I hope Secretary Noem embraces transparency in this matter and shares this information voluntarily.”
Revealing Nakamoto’s identity could severely harm Bitcoin’s allure and its decentralized structure. Let’s hope that when Saoud made these claims, he was under the influence and forgets the absurdity of his statements in the future.
