Satoshi Nakamoto

Freedom

The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a statement regarding Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, asserting that they can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records related to this individual. This statement came in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by Dave Troy. 
Troy sought information on Nakamoto through the “All other subjects” pathway, which is used for broad requests not specifically targeting deceased individuals. The bureau also noted that it can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any records on this individual or group.

Troy’s primary goal is not to unmask Nakamoto but to gather any possible information the FBI may hold on the subject, which might indirectly help in identifying Nakamoto. 
The FBI’s statement adds to the mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, who is already assumed to be multiple individuals behind the pseudonym. Troy filed a FOIA request to see what records the FBI could hold regarding Nakamoto, not so much to identify the person as to learn more about the issue. 
A well-known individual in the early days of Bitcoin, Hal Finney, is frequently mentioned as a plausible contender, yet new information has called this notion into question. 
In the realm of cryptocurrencies, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still one of the most hotly contested subjects, with several ideas and assertions arising throughout time. The interest has only been heightened by the FBI’s most recent statement.
