Australian Commonwealth Law Enforcement officials searched the residence and workplace of an individual purported to be the architect of Bitcoin.
Although officials assert the search of Craig Steven Wright’s Sydney residences pertains to fiscal matters and not Bitcoin, numerous individuals suspect differently. Both “Gizmodo” and “Wired” have released articles connecting Wright to the alias “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the moniker employed by Bitcoin’s originator. Divulged emails and records imply Wright has professed to be Nakamoto on numerous instances. Furthering the speculation, leaked transcripts from a discussion between Wright, his legal counsel, and revenue agents cite Wright stating, “I attempted to conceal the fact that I have been managing bitcoin since 2009 but ultimately realized that half the world would inevitably find out.”
Bitcoin, which debuted in 2009, enables confidential online exchanges, making it prevalent among internet gaming sites. Adding to the mystery, “Newsweek” published a piece last March asserting that Satoshi Nakamoto was not an assumed name, but rather a 64-year-old Japanese-American individual.
The enigmatic architect of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is whispered to possess almost one million Bitcoins. Should they choose to liquidate their holdings currently, their value would be roughly 407 million dollars.
