American Tax Officer-Chapter 568 - 286: Satoshi Nakamoto, Are You Flustered?_2
Chapter 568: Chapter 286: Satoshi Nakamoto, Are You Flustered?_2
Just like David and Nisen thought, as soon as the news that the IRS would investigate Satoshi Nakamoto leaked, most of the public immediately forgot about the Aid W Act and started a heated discussion about this matter.
Many people believed that while David was indeed formidable and known as the star of cracking down on tax evasion, no matter how capable he was, he ultimately needed to find the person to sanction.
But what about Satoshi Nakamoto? After so many years, nobody has been able to find him. How could even David manage to uncover him to carry out the sanctions?
Yet, there were also people who believed that the reason why David had managed to sanction so many criminals and wealthy families, was because he had unique skills in collecting evidence.
If he could collect evidence against so many people, then naturally, finding the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto shouldn’t be a problem.
As the discussion on this topic grew bigger, various software companies timely launched a new round of betting activities.
[1: David uncovers Satoshi Nakamoto and sanctions him to collect the taxes.]
[2: David fails to uncover Satoshi Nakamoto, and the sanction fails.]
Once these two betting options were available, millions of people joined in less than two hours.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, David in his office received a phone call of thanks from Congress.
The reason Congress was thanking him was that the protest caused by the Aid W Act announced this morning was too great, but fortunately, once the news that David was investigating Satoshi Nakamoto spread, it diverted the attention of most of the public, which also relieved Congress.
“Giggle giggle…”
Hearing a knock, David said, “Come in.”
An intelligence service staff member came in and placed a stack of documents in front of him and said, “Director, this is all the information about Satoshi Nakamoto that our IRS has been able to find.”
David nodded slightly and was about to examine the documents carefully when he noticed that the person hadn’t left yet, so he asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Yes, there is one more thing. According to a report by a Motherboard journalist on June 14, 2018, they filed a request with the CIA under the ‘Freedom of Information Act,’ asking them to disclose the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. And the CIA’s response was very intriguing. The CIA neither acknowledged nor denied knowing Satoshi Nakamoto’s information, leading many people to speculate that the CIA might know his identity.”
“Oh?”
David’s expression changed, and he then replied, “Alright, I got it.”
After the intelligence service staff member had left, David immediately took out his phone and dialed Director Elvis’s number.
“Director David, you want to inquire about Satoshi Nakamoto, right?”
As soon as the call connected, the voice of Elvis, already aware of the matter, came through.
“That’s right, Director Elvis. I’ve received information that your CIA side knows about this person, so I wanted to ask.”
“Wait a minute, Director David, I’m no longer a director. Thanks to your deputy, I’ve been promoted to Deputy Director of the Intelligence Division.”
“Is that so? Well, congratulations then.”
The Intelligence Division of the CIA is the most crucial department, and the Deputy Director holds significant authority, so seeing this ally’s promotion brought David genuine joy.
“To tell you the truth, Director David, we really do not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. As for why we didn’t deny it to Motherboard back then, it’s because the CIA must maintain its image in the field of intelligence, do you understand?”
Upon hearing this, David came to understand.
The CIA, as the most powerful intelligence agency in the world at present, would harm its own image if it publicly claimed not to know who Satoshi Nakamoto was.
Therefore, the best outcome was to give the media an ambiguous answer, to let them speculate on their own.
So judging from Elvis’s words, he probably was not lying.
However, that being said, David really hoped the CIA hadn’t managed to dig up Satoshi Nakamoto.
Knowing the CIA’s nature, if they really had found Satoshi Nakamoto, they would have probably drained him dry by now, and then what would there be left for the IRS to gain?
“Then I have another question for you, have you CIA ever investigated Satoshi Nakamoto?”
Director David didn’t hide the fact that they had indeed conducted an investigation, “This person really is a cunning fox, his ability to hide is too powerful. Of course, you also know that our CIA’s responsibility is to conduct foreign operations and gather intelligence. Since Satoshi Nakamoto hasn’t threatened our nation in any way, we only investigated a little. After that, when it yielded no results, we ultimately withdrew.”
Although the CIA only conducted a brief investigation, as the world’s most powerful intelligence organization, its reputation isn’t unjustified. The fact that Satoshi Nakamoto managed to emerge unscathed from this agency is indeed proof enough of his ability to conceal himself.
Gathering his thoughts, David continued, “How about this, Director Elvis, could you send me a copy of your investigation report?”
“No problem, I’ll have someone send a copy to you immediately.”
“Then, thank you.”
Washington D.C., CIA Headquarters Building.
Because he had caught a large number of spies in agreement with David before, Elvis had indeed made a significant contribution and had now been promoted to Deputy Director of the Intelligence Division.
At this moment, inside his office, sat his two subordinates, Jerome and Brod.
Seeing the call end, Jerome immediately asked, “Mr. Elvis, was that David calling?”
Elvis nodded, his expression playfully amused, “I didn’t expect him to take an interest in Satoshi Nakamoto, a tough old fox to dig up.”
“Satoshi Nakamoto is indeed a crafty fox, but David is formidable too. So many spies that had eluded us for so long were exposed by him. I think Satoshi Nakamoto might not be able to escape his clutches either,” Jerome said.
Brod’s face showed a hint of anticipation, “Jerome is right, David has a knack for unearthing people. I’m really looking forward to seeing if he can unearth this Satoshi Nakamoto who has troubled so many.”
“This guy allegedly holds over a million Bitcoins, worth at least several tens of billions of US Dollars with the current market value. If he falls, I predict the entire Bitcoin realm will have to submit to David. When that tax money comes in, not only will we have the funds for the W Act, but I even think that subsequent additional funding will be secured!” Jerome’s words made Elvis’s expression jolt.
The W Act’s benefits weren’t limited to the big five arms groups; he was also a beneficiary.
The logic was simple: wherever there’s war in the world, the CIA couldn’t possibly be absent, and the EW war would be no exception.
If the W Act passed, the CIA’s Intelligence Division would also receive more operational funds.
He had just become the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Division and needed to achieve some accomplishments to secure his position. If the funding for the W Act came through, it would naturally be like adding wings to a tiger for him.
Thinking of this, Elvis murmured with anticipation, “David, oh David, you must uncover Satoshi Nakamoto.”
…
Los Angeles IRS.
After a cursory look at the information submitted, David felt somewhat overwhelmed.
In the past ten years, the number of people suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto had reached several hundreds.
After a serious screening by their intelligence branch, and including the recent report from the CIA, the total number also amounted to over a hundred.

Even though he had this advantageous tool at his disposal, the task was undoubtedly enormous.
Fortunately, there was a silver lining.
Both their intelligence branch and the CIA’s investigation report had one thing in common: Satoshi Nakamoto was definitely hiding in America and not abroad.
It would have been even more troublesome if the person was overseas.
David stood up and walked out the door while pulling out his phone to notify Nisen Simmons Bucky.
There were eight potential Satoshi Nakamoto targets in Los Angeles. He planned to take his team to pay each one a visit, to see the situation before proceeding.
