The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has always been the biggest unsolved case in the cryptocurrency world. Now, this mystery seems to have ushered in a new breakthrough. Well-known investigative reporter Dave Troy recently broke the news on the X platform that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responded to his application based on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), revealing key information that may reveal the true identity of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto.
The FBI responded to Satoshi Nakamoto's identity with a "Glomar response," which means they neither confirmed nor denied whether they had relevant records. The FBI said that Satoshi Nakamoto $BTC could be "one or more third-party individuals."
Troy analyzed the FBI's response in detail, noting that while the FBI claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto might be a "third-party individual," they could not confirm or deny whether they had relevant records. This response is usually used for requests made to non-Americans. Troy said he plans to appeal the FBI's response in the hope of obtaining more information about Satoshi Nakamoto that may help reveal his true identity, but this is not his main goal at the moment.
It is worth noting that as early as 2018, an editor of the American technology and culture channel Motherboard also submitted a Freedom of Information Act request through the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to obtain information about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. At that time, the CIA also adopted the same "Glomar response" method.
Based on past experience, this type of response often means that the relevant agency may have a certain degree of true information.
In this suspenseful story, many people have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the most notable of which is Australian computer scientist Craig Wright. He once called himself Satoshi Nakamoto and was nicknamed "Australian Satoshi". However, this year a British judge ruled that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, nor is he the author of the Bitcoin white paper. Last month, the British side even considered prosecuting him for forgery and issued a freezing order on his £6 million assets.
Finally, under tremendous pressure, Craig Wright officially declared that he was not Satoshi Nakamoto, and this farce that lasted for many years finally came to an end.
