FBI Dodges Satoshi Nakamoto Identity Question Again

Disinformation analyst and tech entrepreneur Dave Troy recently shared on X that the FBI has responded to another Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request about the identity of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

In its latest reply, the FBI reiterated its stance that Satoshi might be a “third-party individual,” a phrase often used when discussing foreign nationals, according to Troy. He suspects that the FBI may actually know who Satoshi is but is hesitant to admit that it has any records related to Bitcoin’s mysterious founder.

Alternatively, Troy suggests that the FOIA office may not have fully understood his request.

Earlier this year, in August, the FBI addressed the Satoshi inquiry for the first time, following Troy’s initial request. His goal is to uncover as much information as possible from the U.S. government about Bitcoin’s creator.

Over the years, various candidates have been proposed as Satoshi Nakamoto within the cryptocurrency community.

Among the most prominent is the late computer scientist Hal Finney, who received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction. Many believe Finney could be Satoshi, though there are also reasons to doubt this theory.
