Chapter 567: Chapter 286: Satoshi Nakamoto, Are You Flustered?

“Satoshi Nakamoto…”

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

This individual was indeed quite mysterious, and extremely skilled at hiding, as for many years no intelligence agency or person around the world could dig out his true identity.

But on the other hand, he did have a special advantage, as long as he could lock onto him, no matter how skilled Nakamoto was at disguising and hiding, he wouldn’t be able to escape his ‘judicial eyes’.

Of course, the most important thing now was first to gather information on the individuals suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto and scrutinize and filter them.

“Let’s have our intelligence department search and see who the potential Satoshi Nakamotos might be,” he said.

“Okay.”

On the morning of the third day.

The spokesperson from Congress announced a message that the aid W bill had entered the drafting stage, and that the initial assistance fund of one hundred billion had also been officially confirmed.

The moment the news was released, it immediately caused a nation-wide uproar.

In America, not everyone supports the policies from the White House and Congress, at least in the eyes of the majority of the lower-class citizens, they were very much against the aid W bill.

In their view, they didn’t receive any benefit from the aid W bill, so they’d rather see the money invested in local healthcare, education, or even increased welfare benefits.

That would be a tangible benefit for them.

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

That was, America’s current debt ratio was too high, and every region needed money; so where would this one hundred billion in assistance funds come from?

After much thought, an idea emerged in everyone’s mind, the only one they could think of: the funds David had collected recently.

In the country at this moment, this seemed to be the only money that hadn’t gone through fiscal budgeting, so where else could the aid W bill funds come from if not from there?

Once this point was realized, David’s supporters became discontent.

The reason they supported David was firstly because of his firm crackdown on criminals and tycoons, which had established a significant charismatic authority.

Secondly, they hoped that the money collected by David could be used for beneficial policies in healthcare, education, and welfare benefits.

But now, it seemed like Congress was going to take this money to fund the aid W bill, naturally making these supporters feel like their interests were being compromised.

In order to retrieve their interests, these individuals quickly formed a protest march, which was also headed in the direction of the Los Angeles IRS.

Los Angeles IRS.

David was engrossed in office work when he was suddenly interrupted by a noisy disturbance which made him stop what he was doing, and he immediately went to the window to look down.

“Protest the aid W bill, protest the aid W bill…”

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw a crowd of demonstrators already chanting slogans at the door below.

At this moment, David was filled with speechlessness.

This damn policy bill is being pushed by the White House and Congress, so why aren’t these people protesting there instead of bothering me?

Do they actually expect me to reverse the decisions of the White House and Congress?

That’s a joke.

In the midst of his thoughts, a knock on the door came, followed by Nisen who walked in with a serious expression and said, “Director, Congress just released the news about the aid W bill, and it immediately caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the public, and it seems they came to protest downstairs in hopes of putting some pressure on you.”

David returned to his seat and sat down.

Seeing his annoyance with the protesters, Nisen suggested, “Director, if you find them bothersome, perhaps we could… divert their attention.”

“Divert it? How?”

“With the recent explosion in popularity of Bitcoin, everybody is very curious about who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. If we leak the news that we are investigating Nakamoto, the public will definitely be very interested. Then, they naturally won’t have the mindset to keep causing a ruckus.”

Hearing this, David’s eyes lit up. This could be a good way to divert the public’s attention and stop these people from bothering him.

Beyond that, if he released the news about investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, with his current fame and displayed methods, the real Nakamoto, if lying hidden, might actually be panicked and slip up, making him even easier to catch.

Thinking this, he nodded and said, “That works, then let’s release that news. How’s the work going with the intelligence department?”

“The collection is almost done; we expect all the data to be submitted by this afternoon.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

With Nisen’s maneuvers, it didn’t take long before the news that David was investigating the father of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, was released.

As soon as this news got out, it immediately overshadowed the then most trending aid W bill, climbing to NO1 on various social media platforms.

“Valda Law, is Director David finally taking action against Bitcoin?”

“The whole world is curious about who Satoshi Nakamoto is, but no person or institution has been able to uncover who it truly is. Now that the IRS is getting involved, there will be a good show to watch!”

“Director David is formidable, but first, he has to find the target before he can take action. Nakamoto is said to be even harder to find than Bin Laden; I don’t think he can find him.”

“According to many intelligence agencies, it’s still uncertain whether Satoshi Nakamoto is one person, or perhaps it’s a code name for an organization or a group.”
