2月2日消息，美国司法部近日公布的约三百万份文件中，出现了一封与比特币相关的敏感邮件。文件显示，Jeffrey Epstein在2016年曾声称与“比特币创始人”有过交流，并计划利用区块链技术为中东地区设计数字货币体系。这一说法迅速在加密社区引发关注。
邮件时间为2016年10月13日，收件人为Rafat Al-Sabbagh和Aziza Alahmadi。Epstein在信中提到，他“与一些比特币创始人交谈过”，对方对其构想表示兴趣。邮件描述了两种面向穆斯林群体的货币方案：一种是名为“Sharia”的实体货币，另一种是基于区块链、符合伊斯兰金融规范的数字货币。
由于比特币由化名为Satoshi Nakamoto的个人或团队创建，其真实身份从未公开，因此Epstein的说法目前无法验证。不过，他使用“创始人”复数的措辞，再次引发了关于比特币是否由多人共同开发的讨论。
司法文件还披露，Epstein早在2013年就开始接触比特币相关资料。Boris Nikolic曾向他转发Tren Griffin撰写的分析报告，讨论比特币作为支付系统的潜在价值。同年，Austin Hill也曾向Epstein发送邮件，谈及对Stellar项目的担忧，并抄送给Reid Hoffman与Joichi Ito，显示他与科技与金融圈人士保持着往来。
在中东货币计划中，Epstein称正在等待沙特阿拉伯方面的时间安排，并将该项目形容为“激进构想”。虽然这些方案从未落地，但邮件表明，他曾试图将比特币底层技术引入区域金融体系。
研究人员仍在继续审阅相关文件。随着更多细节浮出水面，这些历史邮件也让外界重新审视早期加密货币与权力、资本之间的复杂联系。
