Odaily Planet Daily News Investigative reporter Dave Troy said that the FBI issued a "Glomar response" to its request for information about Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which is "neither confirming nor denying" whether it holds relevant records. Troy said that the FBI's response implies that Satoshi Nakamoto is a "third party individual" and plans to appeal this to try to obtain information about Satoshi Nakamoto that the FBI may have. Since the release of the Bitcoin white paper in 2008, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a mystery. Although some people speculate that early Bitcoin contributor Hal Finney may be Satoshi Nakamoto, there is no conclusive evidence so far. Finney died in 2014. It is reported that a similar FOIA request received the same response from the FBI in 2018. (Cointelegraph)
