Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Unmasked by CIA and NSA?

The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) of the United States of America may have data on Satoshi Nakamoto exposing the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin. As Motherboard reports, the CIA has responded to a request for informational law (FOIA) from an employee of the portal.

The report states that Daniel Oberhaus, a journalist at Motherboard, received an answer from the CIA in which the CIA can neither “confirm nor deny” knowing who Satoshi Nakamoto is. This type of answer is also referred to as the “Glomar answer” in the US. The CIA is famous for using this phrase to avoid publishing open investigation information. The conclusion of Oberhaus is therefore:

So if the government really knows who Nakamoto is, it’s not too keen to share that information.

House of Lore efforts follow research by blogger Alexander Muse, who claimed in 2016 that the National Security Agency (NSA) knew Nakamoto’s true identity.

Although Satoshi Nakamoto has taken great care, according to Muse, to keep his identity a secret by using “the latest encryption and concealment techniques in his communications”. Nonetheless, Nakamoto made a mistake he found difficult to anticipate. The mysterious inventor of Bitcoin wrote thousands of posts and e-mails about Bitcoin, most of which are publicly available.
