Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr recently publicly called for Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back to resign, following the latest disclosure of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice. The documents reveal that the deceased criminal Jeffrey Epstein indirectly participated in Blockstream investments through funds associated with the MIT Media Lab and had email correspondence with several Blockstream co-founders and figures in the crypto industry.Dashjr stated that these documents reveal what he calls "deep corruption" and reiterated his long-standing disagreements with Adam Back, including the historical controversy over his lack of recognition as a co-founder of Blockstream. The related documents also mention Epstein's connections with crypto companies such as Coinbase and Tether, noting that Epstein invested $3 million in Coinbase in 2014.In response, Adam Back has publicly denied any direct or indirect financial relationship with Epstein but has not commented on whether he ever visited Epstein's private island. As of now, Blockstream and other related parties have not made any further response to Luke Dashjr's call for resignation.

According to The Block, Blockstream CEO Adam Back recently issued a statement denying any direct or indirect financial ties between the company and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein or his estate. This statement was released after the U.S. Department of Justice made millions of pages of Epstein-related documents public, which revealed that Back and co-founder Austin Hill had exchanged emails with Epstein.Back explained that Epstein was a limited partner in a fund that once held a minority stake in Blockstream but has since fully divested. The newly unsealed documents also revealed Epstein's connections with several individuals in the cryptocurrency industry and his proposal to create a digital currency based on Bitcoin technology.Previously, newly exposed Epstein documents indicated that Epstein was involved in the seed round financing of the Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, which raised a total of $18 million, with Epstein's investment increasing from $50,000 to $500,000.

Recently exposed Epstein documents show that Epstein had obtained an investment allocation in Coinbase. Epstein provided $3 million to Brock Pierce to invest in Coinbase, but it is unclear whether the transaction was completed.In a subsequent reply to Epstein's email, Brock Pierce mentioned that he wired $15 million for the investment in Coinbase, which would yield $15 million in equity and a $5 million cash return (if the transaction is ultimately completed).

The Epstein files unsealed on January 30 show that he had connections with several key figures in the cryptocurrency industry during its formative period. Emails from 2014 confirm that he participated in the oversubscribed $18 million seed round financing of the Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, increasing his personal investment from $50,000 to $500,000 through the Joi Ito fund of the MIT Media Lab. Co-founders Austin Hill and Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back were both involved in the email correspondence.The documents also reveal that in 2014 he discussed the definition of Bitcoin with Peter Thiel; in 2016 he proposed creating an Islamic cryptocurrency to a Saudi royal advisor; in 2011 he stated that Bitcoin was smart but had serious flaws; and in 2017 he explicitly replied that it was not worth buying Bitcoin. Additionally, the names of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor and Trump's newly nominated Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh also appeared on the guest list for the 2010 St. Barts New Year's party.The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that the investigation found no evidence of Epstein using cryptocurrency for money laundering or evading regulation; his role was limited to high-level networking, occasional investments, and being an observer.

Elon Musk stated in response to community users on the X platform that he is "well aware that certain email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein may be misinterpreted and used to tarnish his reputation." He also mentioned that no one has worked harder than him to push for the release of Epstein-related documents and is pleased that these documents have finally been disclosed. Musk indicated that his communication with Epstein was minimal and that he had repeatedly declined invitations to visit Epstein's private island or to ride on the "Lolita Express." He added that he is more concerned about the U.S. prosecuting those who committed serious crimes alongside Epstein.

According to Global Network reports, the U.S. Department of Justice recently released documents related to the Epstein case, with content spanning 100 pages or more completely redacted. As reported by foreign media such as the New York Post on the 23rd, some social media users reviewing the Epstein case documents made a shocking discovery: parts of the redacted content can be directly restored using image processing tools like Photoshop, or even simply by selecting the text and pasting it into a word processing system to display it."So clearly, the Epstein case documents released on the U.S. Department of Justice website can be read by simply highlighting the redacted text, copying it, and pasting it into another document," the New York Post quoted a post from social media platform X user Liam Neeson. Currently, this post has been viewed over 7 million times.

According to AXIOS, the Trump administration estimates that it will need about another week, as well as to review up to 700,000 pages of documents, to complete the release of all Epstein-related documents.

According to @StarPlatinum_, the U.S. Department of Justice has released investigation documents related to the Epstein case, revealing emails that show Jeffrey Epstein's $850,000 donation to MIT indirectly funded a cryptocurrency initiative that employed Bitcoin Core developers, such as Gavin Andresen and Wladimir van der Laan, during the collapse of the Bitcoin Foundation in 2015.The emails detail Epstein's nine secret visits to MIT, codenamed "Voldemort." They indicate that meetings took place at Epstein's mansion with individuals such as Brock Pierce (an early Bitcoin investor and co-founder of Tether) and Larry Summers (former U.S. Treasury Secretary), suggesting that discussions about Bitcoin occurred even before it became mainstream. Summers, despite concerns about reputational risks, saw opportunities in Bitcoin.Epstein also sought advice from Steve Bannon in 2018 regarding cryptocurrency tax issues, including how to handle tokens and evade campaign finance rules, as well as his purchase of blockchain books in 2017, revealing his elite network connections in the emerging cryptocurrency field, but there is no evidence that he had any actual influence on Bitcoin development.
