San Marino Residential Area.

A sedan drove in and stopped in front of a detached house with a lawn at the front, the car door opened, Director David and his entourage stepped down and walked up to press the doorbell.

Soon after, a woman opened the door and spoke with confusion, “Who are you…?”

“Ma’am, we are from the Tax Service, and we’d like to have a talk with Professor Reilly.”

Professor Reilly, full name Reilly Pudoan, was a mathematics professor at the California Institute of Technology and one of the individuals suspected by many to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

The woman glanced at Nisen behind Director David and showed a hint of unease before saying, “Please come in.”

“Do we have guests, Miranda?”

In the living room, a casually dressed man with glasses who thought they had visitors put down the book he was holding on the table, but when he turned his head and saw David’s face, his expression instantly stiffened.

However, it was just for a couple of seconds before he recovered, stood up, and came over, saying, “Director David, welcome to my home.”

“Professor Reilly, I hope we’re not disturbing you?”

“Of course not, please have a seat.”

After inviting Director David to sit, Reilly turned his head and called out to the woman, “Miranda, bring Director David and the others a glass of water.”

[Name: Reilly Pudoan.]

[Occupation: California Institute of Technology Professor.]

[Income: Monthly income of 21,000 US Dollars.]

[Income Details: Earned through a combination of salary and bonuses…]

[More Details:…]

[Tax Payable: 0.]

After scrutinizing the information, David was slightly disappointed.

This Professor Reilly had no connection to Satoshi Nakamoto, and he could thus directly be ruled out.

“I don’t know if you’re aware, Director David, but because my field of research is somewhat related to Bitcoin, over the years, many people have suspected I might be Satoshi Nakamoto. Even people from various departments including the FBI, the CIA, and the Treasury have approached me, but in truth, I am not Nakamoto, and I have no idea who this person is.”

Reilly stated his denial outright.

And as Director David reviewed, he confirmed the veracity of his words before responding, “Professor Reilly, I believe you are indeed not Nakamoto. I’m here to ask if you might have any information related to Nakamoto that you could provide?”

Reilly shook his head, “The information I could provide is already on the internet, and various departments have already dug out as much as they could, so I have nothing to add. Nevertheless, I really do hope that you, Director David, can find this person. I’m quite curious as to who they are, having been able to create such an unbelievable currency.”

Indeed, even if Director David found Satoshi Nakamoto, if this person was willing to pay the taxes due, he would certainly not disclose their identity in accordance with confidentiality principles.

Of course, to avoid dampening the spirits of the professor, he wouldn’t state that outright at the moment.

“Well, since it’s like that…”

“Oh, by the way, Director David, I know that finding Nakamoto is your current task, but regarding the national W Bill, I think you should also intervene. Using those hundreds of billions of dollars in the field of education and research would be more meaningful.”

Like many members of the public, Reilly also opposed the W Bill, and given his own career in education and research, he naturally wanted those funds used in his own field.

“Actually, I feel the same, Professor Reilly, but there’s nothing I can do; I’m just a Director in the Tax Service responsible for tax collection, I don’t have a say in such matters of national strategic policy.”

“No, Director David, after all, those funds were collected by you, what you say certainly carries weight…”

For the next while, Reilly continued to earnestly lobby David, hoping he could exert some pressure on Congress.

And David, while half-heartedly listening and making excuses, finally stood up, unwilling to hear any more, bluntly excused himself and turned to leave.

…

Three days passed.

During these three days, the interest in Satoshi Nakamoto remained intense, with the media every day tracking the progress on David’s side and the masses nationwide and around the world incessantly speculating.

Meanwhile, David had been crisscrossing various locales, scrutinizing more than forty targets, but to no avail, which was starting to make him anxious.

At nine o’clock in the morning, David arrived at the office and immediately sought out Nisen and the others, asking, “Who are we dealing with today?”

“Jobs.”

“Jobs?”

Hearing Nisen’s response, David was taken aback. Could this be the founder of Apple Inc.?

“Yes, the founder of Apple, Jobs.”

“He’s a suspected target for being Nakamoto?”

In the data delivered by the Intelligence Section and the CIA, there were over a hundred potential suspects for being Nakamoto. David couldn’t possibly review them all himself, so he delegated part of the task to Nisen Bakesimmons and the others. The idea that this tech mogul was also viewed as a potential Nakamoto was certainly surprising.

“Yes, this is information I’ve compiled, take a look for yourself, Director.”

David took the information handed to him by Nisen and began to review it. As he did so, his expression became increasingly inscrutable.

According to a report by FX168 Financial News published on October 6, 2017, the late Apple founder Steve Jobs was said to be the father of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
