Crypto lawyer sues US DHS to uncover Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity
Crypto attorney James Murphy, also known on X as MetaLawMan, just filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C., demanding the release of information that could expose the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the unknown figure behind Bitcoin, according to a report by Crypto In America.
James filed the case in D.C. District Court with the help of Brian Field, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who now focuses on Freedom of Information Act cases. The target is a 2019 public statement made by Rana Saoud, a DHS Special Agent, who claimed during a conference that the U.S. government had already figured out who created Bitcoin.
Rana said the creator wasn’t one person but four individuals, and claimed they were all interviewed by DHS agents in California, where they explained what Bitcoin was and why they made it.
James wants the government to release the identities of those four people. He believes if the U.S. has that kind of information, it shouldn’t be kept secret.
“If the government does indeed have this information, as the DHS Special Agent has claimed, it should not be withheld from the public,” James reportedly said in a statement to Crypto In America.
James pointed out that Bitcoin’s global impact makes this information a public issue, not just a government secret. The lawsuit zeroes in on that 2019 DHS presentation. Rana’s exact words from the event are referenced in the case.
She claimed the agency had both identified and located the creators of Bitcoin, had interviewed them in California, and had heard directly from them about the development and reasons behind it. Despite that claim, DHS has never publicly confirmed those interviews or revealed any of the names.
James says he’s hoping for cooperation under the current Trump administration, which promised more openness from federal agencies. He’s appealing to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she could choose to hand over the information now, without dragging the case through a long court process.
“My hope is that Secretary Noem will embrace transparency in this instance and share this information voluntarily,” James said. “However, if she does not, we are prepared to pursue this litigation as far as necessary to solve this mystery.”
He made it clear he’s willing to go the distance to get the answer. James is not the first to try and uncover who Satoshi is, but this time it’s a legal fight, not just speculation or online theories.
Some in the crypto community have supported the effort, while others believe finding out who Satoshi is could destroy the appeal of Bitcoin—which was built to be free from central control.
The community remains split. Some believe knowing Satoshi’s identity would bring clarity, while others say it could threaten Bitcoin’s decentralized status. If these four creators are real, still alive, and have access to early wallets or private keys, then a major chunk of Bitcoin could technically be controlled. That would punch a hole in everything Bitcoin was supposed to stand for.

Bitcoin: Traders Face Record-Breaking Losses
After reaching a new all-time high at the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has recorded a drop of over 15% in the first quarter of 2025. This situation raises concerns among many short-term investors who are leaving the market with significant losses, comparable to those observed during the FTX collapse.
Bitcoin traders are currently selling their assets at loss levels never seen since the resounding collapse of FTX .
On-chain analyst Darkfost revealed this alarming trend on platform X, sharing concerning data on the behavior of Bitcoin holders.
Since early February 2025, investors holding Bitcoin for one to three months (categorized as short-term holders) are massively disposing of their assets, thus accepting significant losses. These rushed sales have reached a scale that surpasses even the correction periods of 2024.
The indicator of profit/loss margin, which measures the profitability of positions by comparing the purchase price to the current price, shows a drastic decline for this category of investors.
This metric allows us to quantify the magnitude of unrealized profits or losses in the market, and its current level signals strong selling pressure.
Massive capitulation periods from short-term holders have historically preceded significant phases of Bitcoin price increases. This phenomenon can be explained by a transfer of assets from “weak hands” (easily shaken investors) to “strong hands” (more convinced long-term investors).
Currently, despite this wave of selling at a loss, long-term holders continue to accumulate Bitcoins. This behavioral divergence between the two categories of investors is often interpreted as a preliminary signal of a future price increase.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $76,200, down nearly 10% in the last 24 hours. CoinMarketCap data indicates that the entire cryptocurrency market is suffering, with even greater losses for altcoins.
The market is currently going through a decisive turning point. This massive capitulation of short-term investors could, as in the past, signal a coming rebound for Bitcoin.
An even more relevant signal as whales have recently resumed their purchases for the first time since August 2024, despite a decline that now reaches nearly 30% from the all-time high of $109,000.
Key factors to watch: the evolution of behavior among institutional investors and announcements from the Trump administration, whose recent protectionist measures have already triggered the liquidation of $1.3 billion in positions within 24 hours, causing BTC to fall below the symbolic barrier of $80,000, an event that shook the crypto market .
