A cryptocurrency lawyer has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking to unmask the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.
The lawsuit targets claims made by a DHS Special Agent in 2019 that Bitcoin was created by a group of four individuals rather than one creator.
The lawyer insists that the DHS should disclose the true identity of Nakamoto due to the widespread interest and financial impact of Bitcoin.
The lawsuit has divided the Bitcoin community, with some supporting the demand for Nakamoto's identity while others express concerns about the potential consequences of disclosure.
