Chapter 288 Satoshi Nakamoto, are you panicking?

"Satoshi Nakamoto..."

As the father of Bitcoin, David had naturally heard of this person.

This person is indeed very mysterious and very good at hiding. Over the years, no one in the world or any intelligence agency has been able to find out who he is.

But then again, I have a cheat code. As long as I can lock onto him, no matter how good he is at disguising himself or hiding himself, he can't escape his 'eagle eye'.

Of course, the most important thing now is to first gather information about who might be Satoshi Nakamoto and then conduct a screening process.

"Alright, have our intelligence department search for any targets that might be suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto."

"it is good."

It was the morning of the third day.

A spokesperson for Congress announced that the aid bill has entered the drafting stage, and the initial aid budget of $1000 billion has also been officially confirmed.

The news immediately caused an uproar throughout the country.

In the United States, not everyone supports the policies of the White House and Congress. At least in the eyes of most people at the bottom of society, they strongly oppose the W aid bill.

In their view, since they don't benefit from the aid bill, they might as well invest the money in domestic healthcare, education, or even increase welfare payments.

They are the ones who truly benefit.

However, amidst the uproar, many people suddenly thought of a question.

That is, the United States currently has a very high debt ratio, and money is needed in various places. So where will this $1000 billion in aid come from?

After much thought, an idea popped into everyone's mind, and it was the only thing they could think of: the funds that David Zheng had recently received.

Currently, it seems that this is the only funding in the country that has not yet been included in the fiscal budget. So, where else would the funding for the W aid bill come from if not from here?

David's supporters were outraged by this.

They supported David for two reasons: firstly, David's tough stance against criminals and the strong personal charisma he displayed towards wealthy tycoons.

Secondly, they also hope that the money David receives can be used for policies that benefit the people, such as healthcare, education, and welfare.

But now, it seems that this money is going to be taken by Congress to fund the W aid bill, which naturally makes these supporters feel that their interests have been harmed.

In an effort to salvage their interests, these individuals quickly formed a protest march, which headed towards the Los Angeles IRS office.

Los Angeles IRS.

David was working intently in his office when a sudden commotion made him stop what he was doing. He got up and went to the window to look down.

"Protest the Aid Bill, protest the Aid Bill..."

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the demonstrators below already chanting protest slogans at the main entrance.

David was speechless.

This is a policy bill promoted by the White House and Congress. Why don't you people go and protest to them, but instead come to me?

Do you really expect me to be able to turn the White House and Congress around?

That's a joke.

Lost in thought, a knock came at the door, and Nissen walked in, saying with a serious expression, "Director, Congress just released news of the W aid bill, which has instantly caused a lot of public dissatisfaction. It seems that the reason they came downstairs to protest is to put some pressure on you."

David returned to his seat and sat down.

Nissen noticed that he was getting annoyed by their protests and suggested, "Chief, if you find them annoying, perhaps we could... try to distract them."

"Transfer? How do I transfer?"

"With the recent surge in Bitcoin's popularity, everyone is very concerned about who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. If we reveal that we are investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, the public will definitely be very interested, and then they will naturally have no interest in making a fuss about this."

David's eyes lit up when he heard this; it was a good way to divert people's attention and prevent them from bothering him.

In addition, if news were released that he was investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, given his current fame and the methods he has demonstrated, Satoshi Nakamoto, who is currently hiding, might actually panic and reveal some clues, making it easier for him to catch him.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then release the news. How's the work going with the intelligence department?"

"We've collected almost all the information, and we expect to submit it all this afternoon."

"Okay, go ahead."

Under Nissen's manipulation, it wasn't long before news broke that David was going to investigate Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin.

This news immediately overshadowed the most talked-about aid bill and topped the charts on major social media platforms.

"Wardfa, is Chief David finally going to take action against Bitcoin?"

"The whole world is curious about who Satoshi Nakamoto is, but no one and no organization has been able to find out. Now that the IRS has gotten involved, this is going to be interesting!"

"Director David is impressive, but first he has to find his target before he can take action to impose sanctions. And Satoshi Nakamoto is said to be even harder to find than Bin Laden. I don't think he can find this person."

"According to many intelligence agencies, it is not certain whether Satoshi Nakamoto is a single person; he may actually be the code name of an organization or group."

Just as David and Nissen had thought, once the news broke that the IRS was going to investigate Satoshi Nakamoto, most people instantly forgot about the Aid Act and instead started a huge discussion about it.

Many people believe that David is indeed very capable and is known as the nemesis of tax evasion, but no matter how capable you are, you still need to find the right person to punish you.

But Satoshi Nakamoto has been undiscovered for so many years. No matter how capable you are, David, how can you possibly find out who he is and impose sanctions on?

However, some believe that David was able to repeatedly bring so many criminals and wealthy families to justice because he had a unique skill in gathering evidence of their crimes.

Since they were able to gather evidence against so many people, finding out about the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto would naturally not be a problem.

As the discussion surrounding this topic intensifies, various software platforms have timely launched a new round of guessing games.

[1: David uncovered Satoshi Nakamoto's identity and forced him to pay his taxes.]

[2: David failed to find Satoshi Nakamoto; the sanctions failed.]

These two guessing options attracted tens of millions of people to participate in less than two hours.

At 2 p.m., David received a thank-you call from Congress in his office.

Congress thanked him because the protests over the aid bill announced this morning were too great, but fortunately, the news that David was going to investigate Satoshi Nakamoto diverted most of the public's attention, which was a relief to Congress.

"Giggle giggle..."

Hearing a knock on the door, David said, "Come in."

An intelligence officer walked in and placed a stack of documents, about a chapter high, in front of him, saying, "Director, this is all the information we have about Satoshi Nakamoto, and it's all the information our IRS can currently access."

David nodded slightly, preparing to examine the document more closely, but noticing the other person was still there, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"There's another thing. According to a Motherboard reporter's report on June 14, 2018, he sent a letter to the CIA under the Freedom of the Press Act, requesting that they disclose Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. The CIA's response was intriguing. The CIA neither admitted nor denied knowing Satoshi Nakamoto's information. Therefore, many people speculated that the CIA may have known Satoshi Nakamoto's identity."

"Oh?"

David's expression shifted slightly, then he replied, "Okay, I understand."

After the intelligence officers left, David immediately took out his phone and dialed Elvis's number.

"Chief David, you want to consult me ​​about Satoshi Nakamoto, right?"

As soon as the call connected, Elvis's voice, which he already knew, came through.

"That's right, Director Elvis. I received information that your CIA knows about this person, so I wanted to ask about it."

"Wait, Director David, I'm no longer the supervisor. Thanks to your deputy, I've been promoted to deputy director of the intelligence department."

"Is that so? Congratulations then."

The CIA's intelligence division is the most important department, and the deputy director is the second-in-command, holding a high position of power. So David was indeed happy to see his ally promoted.

"To be honest with you, Director David, we really don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. As for why we didn't deny Motherboard back then, it's because the CIA had to maintain its intelligence image. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, David understood.

If the CIA, currently the world's most powerful intelligence agency, were to claim to the media that it did not know who Satoshi Nakamoto was, it would certainly be detrimental to its own image.

Therefore, the best outcome is to give these media reporters an ambiguous answer and let them speculate on it themselves.

Therefore, judging from Elvis's words, he was probably not lying.

However, he did hope that the CIA hadn't uncovered Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.

Given the CIA's track record, if they had actually uncovered Satoshi Nakamoto, they would have already squeezed him dry. How much could the IRS possibly profit from that?

"Then let me ask you another question: Has your CIA investigated Satoshi Nakamoto?"

"To be honest, Director David, we did investigate, but this guy is a real old fox. He's incredibly good at hiding his true intentions. Of course, as you know, the CIA's responsibility is to handle external operations and intelligence gathering. Satoshi Nakamoto didn't pose any threat to our country, so after a brief and fruitless investigation, we withdrew the investigation."

Although the CIA only conducted a brief investigation, it is no exaggeration to call itself the world's most powerful intelligence agency. The fact that Satoshi Nakamoto was able to escape unscathed from this agency is indeed enough to prove his ability to hide.

Gathering his thoughts, David continued, "How about this, Manager Elvis, could you send me a copy of your investigation report?"

"No problem, I'll have someone send you a copy right away."

"Thank you very much."

Washington, D.C., CIA headquarters building.

Because of the agreement reached with David to arrest a large number of spies, Elvis has made a great contribution and has been promoted to deputy director of the intelligence department.

Meanwhile, in his office sat two of his men, Jerome and Broad.

Seeing that the call had ended, Jerome immediately asked, "Mr. Elvis, was that David calling?"

Elvis nodded, a slightly amused expression on his face, and said, "I didn't expect him to have his eye on Satoshi Nakamoto. He's a cunning old fox, not easy to catch."

"Satoshi Nakamoto is indeed an old fox, but David is also formidable. So many spies that we couldn't uncover with all our efforts have been exposed by him. I don't think Satoshi Nakamoto can escape his clutches either."

"Jerome is right. David is really good at poaching people. I'm really looking forward to seeing if he can find out who Satoshi Nakamoto is, who has been bothering so many people."

A hint of anticipation appeared on Brod's face.

"This guy reportedly controls over a million Bitcoins, worth at least tens of billions of dollars at the current market value. If he falls, I estimate the entire Bitcoin community will have to submit to David. Once that tax money is in hand, not only will the funding for the W Act be secured, but I think even subsequent additional funding will be secured!"

Jerome's words startled Elvis.

He was not the only beneficiary of the W aid bill; he was also a beneficiary.

The reason is simple: wherever there is war anywhere in the world, the CIA will inevitably be involved, and the EW war is no exception.

If the W aid bill is passed, the CIA's intelligence department will also receive more funding for its operations.

As the newly appointed deputy director of the intelligence department, he needed to achieve certain results to secure his position, and the allocation of funds from the W Aid Act was a great boost to his abilities.

Thinking of this, Elvis murmured expectantly, "David, you absolutely must dig out Satoshi Nakamoto."

……

Los Angeles IRS.

After a cursory review of the submitted documents, David felt a bit overwhelmed.

Over the past decade or so, hundreds of people have been rumored to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

After careful selection and screening by their intelligence department, plus the investigation report sent by the CIA not long ago, the total number reached over a hundred.

Even with the powerful tool of cheating, it would still be an enormous amount of work.

Fortunately, there is something to be thankful for.

Both their intelligence reports and the CIA's investigation reports have one thing in common: Satoshi Nakamoto is currently hiding in the United States, not abroad.

If this guy were abroad, it would be even more troublesome.

David stood up, pushed open the door, and took out his phone to notify Nison, Simons, and Bucky.

There are eight people in Los Angeles who are suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto's targets. He plans to visit them one by one to see what the situation is before making any decisions.
