DECLASSIFIED AS OF 12 FEBRUARY 2021

The following was translated from Japanese. Some content may be incorrect due to language barriers. Additionally, the recording was received scrambled and the conversation was determined to have been intentionally muffled for secrecy. Our lingual experts, teamed with AI, did their best to fill in gaps.

To the best of our knowledge this is the last time these keywords appeared in a conversation of private citizen(s) residing in or about the IP address pings commonly associated with the discovery of Bitcoin. All flagged words appear below and are highlighted in the body of the transcript. The entire list appears throughout the two and a half minute call. We cross checked other call dialogs utilizing most or some of the words, but found those parties were merely conducting research and care was taken to filter out such innocuous chatter (most common occurrences happened on college based IPs in libraries.)

  • Bitcoin
  • Transfer
  • Blockchain
  • Mining
  • Purchase
  • Satoshi Nakamoto (in whole or in part)
  • Undetected
  • Crypto
  • Dark web
  • Wallet
  • <notion for conversation that has been assumed>

    As best as our investigators can tell there were three (3) distinct female voices engaged in the conversation which took place in mid 2011 somewhere in Tokyo, Japan. We were unable to triangulate the exact location because the other cell phones in the vicinity were also being electronically jammed.

    This recording was taken from what is commonly called a “Burner phone” purchased from a street vendor and paid for with a credit card under the name of George Washington (which we have established is a fake identity).

    George Washington has initiated no transactions since.

    Several foreign interests and the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have left this an open investigation. We’ve reactivated the case as of February 2021 correlating with heightened chatter across several Asian countries and due to Mr. Elon Musk announcing his 1.5 billion dollar purchase of Bitcoin.

    Transcript below:

    Female One: <unintelligible> needs her to come and bring that hard drive. No one will be able to access the wallet without it.

    Female Two: It’s impossible right now. There are so many eyes on the situation. We’ve come too far to get caught now.

    Female One: We need it. The <fast> pace of the market indicates it is about to blow up. Once that happens we won’t be able to <unintelligible> for very long.

    Female Three: How much is it worth?

    Female Two: Just more than 10 billion. But that only matters with the hard drive.

    Female Three: She’ll bring it. Can we move on?

    Female One: They still think Satoshi is one person. And a man. Ha! We have that working for us. They’ll never suspect how much we’ve mined.

    Female Two: You both remember how we’ll proceed with all future purchase orders?

    Female Three: Do we have to go over everything again? I can’t jam this call for too long. I just found the transfer <request> for the balance. It will come in 15 parts over the next 3 years.

    Female One: We did it.

    Female Two: Women have a true path to wealth now, not tied to anyone. Any man.

    Female One: Once we recover the hard drive it should remain undetected for a few hours. Long enough for her to flee and us to disappear. Everyone practice the self-destruct sequence?

    Female Two: Yes. The blockchain won't fail, though.

    Female Three: Got it, boss. <laughter>

    Female One: We’ll have enough Yen to light fires with. To change the world with...

    Female Two: Women won’t have to suffer men much longer.

    Female One: No one will know for decades. That is my <least> favorite part of this. Our daughters won’t know it was us who put this in motion.

    Female Three: Time’s nearly up. Future contact must be over our dark web channels. Only when absolutely required. Spiders watch everything.

    Female One: Annual disbursements will commence in 90 days to avoid swaying the crypto market. Dribbled out <unintelligible> million by million so they won’t know it’s missing, or that it even existed.

    Female Two: Thank you, sisters.

    Female Three: Be well.
