The FBI may know Satoshi's identity

Disinformation analyst and tech entrepreneur Dave Troy took to social media X to report that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has provided its response to yet another Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding the identity of tech entrepreneur Satoshi Nakamoto.

In its latest response, the FBI doubled down on its allegations that Satoshi may have been a “third party person.”

As Troy noted, this is the response usually given when inquiries are made about foreign nationals.

Troy believes that the FBI may indeed know Satoshi's identity, and it has been reluctant to admit that it has certain records related to the elusive Bitcoin creator.

On the other hand, the FOIA office may have misinterpreted Troy's request.

As U.Today reported, the FBI broke its silence on Satoshi's identity in early August after Satoshi's initial request.

Troy's ultimate goal is to get as much information as possible from the U.S. government about the Bitcoin creator.

Throughout the years, the cryptocurrency has discussed countless candidates for Satoshi. Of course, the late computer scientist Hal Finney, who received the very first bitcoin transaction, is at the top of the list because of the many factors that seem to indicate that he was the man who started it all. However, there are also some facts that suggest Finney is unlikely to be Satoshi.
