Did DHS Interview Satoshi? MetaLawMan FOIA Suit Seeks Proof
  • MetaLawMan (James Murphy) sues DHS using FOIA regarding alleged 2019 Satoshi interview
  • Lawsuit follows 2019 claim by DHS official that agents met Bitcoin’s elusive creator
  • DHS failed to respond to February FOIA request; lawsuit now seeks court compulsion

Attorney and crypto commentator James A. Murphy, known online as MetaLawMan, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Murphy aims to uncover records related to claims that the U.S. government secretly interviewed the elusive Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, back in 2019.

Lawsuit Stems from 2019 DHS Official Claim

Filed on April 7th, the lawsuit follows years of speculation sparked by a public assertion from a senior DHS official. According to Murphy’s court filing, this official stated in 2019 that DHS agents traveled to California where they interviewed Satoshi Nakamoto and learned three other individuals were also involved in creating Bitcoin. 

Murphy is now using the FOIA process to compel DHS to release any notes, emails, or other records connected to this alleged meeting
