The CIA 'Can Neither Confirm Nor Deny' It Has Documents on Satoshi Nakamoto (vice.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Ever since this pseudonymous person or group unleashed Bitcoin on the world in 2008, Nakamoto's real identity has been one of the biggest mysteries in the cryptocurrency world. And based on a response to my recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, if the CIA knows anything, it's not talking. [...] In 2016, Alexander Muse, a blogger who mostly writes about entrepreneurship, wrote a blog post that claimed the NSA had identified the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto using stylometry, which uses a person's writing style as a unique fingerprint, and then searched emails collected under the PRISM surveillance program to identify the real Nakamoto. Muse said the identity was not shared with him by his source at the Department of Homeland Security. [...] I figured it couldn't hurt to ask some other three-letter agencies what they know about Nakamoto. [...] I received a terse reply that informed me that "the request has been rejected, with the agency stating that it can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the requested documents."
Stay quiet, it's the perfect way to keep on manipulating the market to your advantage.
Yup, the CIA can now finance their black ops with crypto currency market manipulation.
If you ask then if the world is flat or if UFO's exist, you will get the same answer. It's the standard party line for any questions of substance.
The whole point of this is to not provide any information, including information about the existence or non-existence of information. So this answer means literally nothing....

The NSA has uncovered Satoshi... so the FOIA request should have gone to them.
Why send it to an unrelated agency?
E
Rimwad.
Except that they do and they already did confirm it. They analyzed all his writing and compared it to all public posts on online forums etc and found out who he is. This information was already made public.
Hmm, I wonder if Satoshi Nakamoto's name appears anywhere in the trove of Snowden docs. Too bad only a fraction of the estimated total have been released by oligarch Pierre Omidyar's toady gatekeeper, Glenn Greenwald. Maybe we'll know in about 25 years or so.
And if you were to file a FOIA request, asking the CIA if they had any documents related to Daniel Oberhaus (the author of this silly story) - you would get the exact same response.

Listen to yourself.
Billionaires dont stop their revenue streams just cuz, and neither does the CIA.
Bitcoin is a Chinese scheme to steal western money while wasting western resources: win-win for the planet destroying small penis Chinese!
Probably "neutralized" him already...
For their corporate/bank bosses.
CIA are a bunch of greedy sperm swallowers. It's okay though. Hacker underground networks know who Satoshi is - He is the NSA. Luckily their entire precious CIA was infiltrated and all of their most sensitive information about the world is in hacker underground network hands now, and has been for quite some time. Their entire shit is still backdoored lolololol.
Too bad the dick lickers at the CIA are so greedy. They think they can actually use tax dollars to horde info and tell nobody nothing. Hacker undergrounds are merely taking back the information that was gathered and spied on using tax dollars, and putting it back in the rightful hands of the public.
"Collusion isn't even illegal, so what if he colluded?"
Some kinds of collusion is most certainly illegal... But the illegal versions of this activity usually involves having competitors discussing how to price their products amongst themselves in an effort to avoid having to compete or agreeing to some legal action in order to take advantage of a third party. At most other times, the crime called conspiracy is what most folks are talking about when they discuss collusion.
Collusion (private agreements between parties unknown to a third) are actually common and legal in many situations. Often this is true for commissioned sales and many service industries. One that may surprise you is Health Insurance, where the agreements between your insurance company and your doctor are not yours to see.

I am Satoshi Nakamoto.
... can neither confirm nor deny ...
Of course they *can*, but they *won't*.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
I am Spartacus. I am batman. But my secret identity is Santoshi

Are (any) fiat-currency and (any) cryptocurrency really equivalent, as cryptocurrency fans claim?
For example, US Dollar and Bitcoin are really equals?
Value/validity/authorization of US dollar is provided/guaranteed by US Government (and in-turn whole US Public)!
Also, not to mention, US Dollars in any US Bank is insured by US Government!
What authorization/guarantee/insurance is behind Bitcoin? Nothing!
Sorry but that is the end of discussion then!
Why do you think Satoshi Nakamoto is really hiding his identity, if Bitcoin is really such a great innovation?
He is just someone does not like media/fan attention?
Or, could it be really because Bitcoin (and all cryptocurrencies followed it) are actually Ponzi Schemes?
(So he knew very well that law enforcement would come after him sooner or later?!)
If so-called cryptocurrencies are really good innovation, why they attract so many criminals/criminal activity?
Could it really be because, all cryptocurrencies themselves are scams, and that is why they attract all kinds of criminals/criminal activity?
If so-called cryptocurrencies are really currency, why no company/store can use Bitcoin as currency anymore?
Because the price of Bitcoin proved to be extremely unstable to use as a currency?
Would the result be different, if Bitcoin replaced by any other "cryptocurrency"?
Aren't all work the same way?
If so-called cryptocurrencies are really money; isn't people issuing their own money, illegal already, in all countries?
If so then, why they are still not banned in all countries?
Or, they are not actually virtual currency but virtual investment?
But, if they are actually investment, why we need/want them?
What would happen to world economy, if people invested in virtual investments, instead of real investments?
Or, all so-called cryptocurrencies are actually just a modified (made decentralized and paying variable interest) Ponzi Schemes?
(Price of cryptocurrencies would keep increasing in the long term (by their design), so it is equivalent of paying variable interest to all long term investors.)
Also, since all so-called cryptocurrencies are actually financial scams (Ponzi Schemes), that means, they cannot be the solution for any of existing financial problems of our world!
As more and more people invest in cryptocurrencies, it will become harder and harder to ban their trading everywhere (because people invested in cryptocurrencies, would try to stop anyone trying to ban cryptocurrencies)!
All cryptocurrencies need to be banned globally before it is too late!
This Satoshi Nakamoto is actually an alias for one of the U.S.'s 3 letter organizations and block chain and the resulting crypto currency were actually created by the U.S. government for various ends,
The CIA would respond the same way no matter who this FOIA was requested for. Why is this even here?
Just another day in Paradise
If such a person exists, may the forever remain unknown. If discovered, he/she would become the target of kidnapping or terrorism - as criminals attempt to extort or steal coins or information.
Protect those who can not defend themselves.
Is this what we call journalism these days?
CIA is Satoshi. Just look up what the words mean in Japanese.
You get to watch Trump die in Federal Prison, a traitor, next to his bitch beta sons and feckless cunt of a dopey daughter he never got the chance to fuck. Enjoy, faggo-nazi! You deserve what you get - raped repeatedly, in prison! Ready?
GET READY.
Except when it comes to state funded collusion due to sovereign immunity... Sort of like OPEC are a cartel involved in price fixing oil.
It's "A" Satoshi Nakamoto

Plot twist: Satoshi Nakamoto is really the CIA, the same as all major TOR nodes. Yup, totally anonymous, no one knows who you are or what you're doing.
I've noticed that whatever the spy agencies like the CIA and NSA come up with, it appears to be Write Only information. Nobody else in government seems to be able to get any of their work product. For example, presumably they collected Hillary's emails, just like they have everyone else's, yet when she claimed to have destroyed all the "personal" ones, nobody said, "Hey, let's see if the NSA has them".
I was told there has been no activity on S. Nakamoto's account for 8 years or so. Anybody really know anything?
