This article was originally published on ProCoinNews.com.  Republished here with permission. Buckle up friends, we’re going on a deep dive today… A few days ago, we brought you a story on the “Satoshi Four”…at least that’s what I’m calling them, and I think we may have coined that term herehttps://procoinnews.com/who-is-jed-mccaleb-and-why-is-he-untouchable/ at ProCoinNews. What is the Satoshi Four? Or more accurately WHO are the Satoshi Four? Well, it comes from the recent revelation that despite leading the public to believe NO ONE in the U.S. Government knows who Satoshi is, that’s actually not true. Not true at all, it turns out. In fact, it turns out very early on the Feds went to interview Satoshi and they learned it was a group of four individuals. Watch this video here: @digitalassetbuy @DigPerspectives @MarketsMickle @TAIGxrp @_XRpizza @cowboycrypto131 @XRPNews_ person speaking is Rana Saoud assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations. Does the government know who #Satoshi is and did they meet with “them”? pic.twitter.com/ugmZDXrWLQ — wEeZiE {X} (@NerdNationUnbox) July 6, 2022 Previously, even Joseph Lubin slipped up and admitted Satoshi was a “group”. Funny, I wonder how he knows that? Watch here: Holy slip up. Lubin reveals Satoshi is "a group"2017 cnbc power lunch exclusive interview.

Here is former SEC Chair Jay Clayton being asked if he knows who Satoshi is. Joe Lubin’s elbow thinks this guy is nervous and has a really bad “tell”… Watch here: Now that we’ve seen that video… check out Jay Clayton’s response to the “do you know who Satoshi is?” Nervous much? pic.twitter.com/Fp4xGH7iwo — wEeZiE {X} (@NerdNationUnbox) July 12, 2022 I’m no body language expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the biggest lies I’ve ever seen. Jay, don’t ever try to make a career in playing poker, you wouldn’t fare well. So let’s recap quickly on what we’ve learned so far: First, the Government has known from VERY early on who/what Satoshi is. Second, they’ve been lying through their teeth claiming they didn’t know. Third, most likely all big business, big banking and big investment houses know as well, because there’s no way someone like Michael Saylor is betting his entire company on Bitcoin if he doesn’t know who the Founder is, if the Founder might come back, if the Founder might be a foreign country, etc.  They know.  They all know.  And they’ve been lying to you. That knowledge led to a great graphic The Working Money Channel posted recently: That graphic suggests that Three of the Four members of “Satoshi” are most likely Jed McCaleb, David Schwartz, Arthur Britto and one more person. We go into much more detail on that in this article: Is David Schwartz Satoshi? “It’s certainly plausible I was part of a group…” But now I want to advance the story… Now I want to talk Jed McCaleb, Costa Rica, Japan, Mt.Gox, Liberty Reserve, and how all of this may be connected. The man who seems to be at the middle of just about all of this is Jed McCaleb. Jed has been a notorious figure in the XRP Community for several years due to his “Tacostand Wallet” where he has been systematically selling the billions of XRP he received when he left the company. Many argue this has suppressed XRP’s price for years. Others say it’s had no impact. To me, the story here is much deeper. Whether Jed’s sales of XRP have hurt the XRP price is far less interesting and far less important than these questions: Why does Jed seem to be involved in just about everything in crypto dating back to the near beginning? Why does Jed always seem to exit right before things crash? Even after the crash, why does Jed never face any legal liability or legal restrictions of any kind? For example, there is no dispute that Jed was one of the founding partners of Ripple Labs and there is also no dispute that Jed has been selling his XRP for years, both before and during the SEC lawsuit. So why does the SEC sue Ripple Labs and Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse but NOT Jed McCaleb? Certainly, he’s well know.  He’s an undisputed co-founder of Ripple Labs (Garlinghouse is not).  He’s continued to sell millions if not billions of XRP during the lawsuit — which the SEC claims is an unregistered security.  Garlinghouse, to the best of my knowledge, has not. So why sue Garlinghouse and not McCaleb? That’s the first of many questions that just don’t seem to make sense. Unless, Jed is a “made man”. Has Jed been on the inside track since the very beginning? We know David Schwartz is ex-CIA (which means CIA), so what is McCaleb?  Is he connected? Here’s another question: XLM is mostly a clone of XRP with a few minor changes.  Why is Ripple Labs sued and not McCaleb’s current company, Stellar Labs?  Why wouldn’t both be sued?  Is it because that would be a little TOO close to comfort for McCaleb? We’re just asking questions here and we’re only just scratching the surface. Let’s keep going… Now let’s talk Mt.Gox. Jed founded Mt.Gox which we all know had one of the most infamous hacks (allegedly) in all of Bitcoin, almost leading to the end of the blockchain. Once again, Jed was right at the heart of the story, but escapes unscathed. From The Observer: That he sold out in 2011 to Mark “MagicalTux” Karpeles, a French programmer living in Japan. Mr. Karpeles rewrote the entire code, so Mr. McCaleb’s fingerprints, literally and figuratively, were nowhere near the scene. Mr. McCaleb even told ArsTechnica.com that he himself had lost $50,000 in a Mt. Gox account when it tanked. Even if the extent of Mr. McCaleb’s involvement in the Mt. Gox collapse is never completely known, its immolation hangs over him like a toxic cloud. According to a leaked 2014-2017 Mt. Gox business plan, “MtGox (Japan) has two principles [sic]: Tibanne, owned by Mark Karpeles (88 percent) and Jed McCaleb; the initial founder and creator of the MtGox exchange platform (12 percent).” The bankruptcy proceeding commenced in Japan listed Mr. McCaleb as one of two owners of Mt. Gox. And just last week, Charlie Shrem, the Bitcoiner who is headed to prison and is very close to Mr. McCaleb and Mr. Karpeles and has done business with them, shared his suspicion that the Mt. Gox money actually disappeared much earlier than had been revealed: “I think he lost those coins early on. Like many years ago in the first hack.” That would put the time of the hack much closer to Mr. McCaleb’s daily involvement. Mr. Shrem told the Observer that this “first hack” occurred after Mr. McCaleb had fully transferred control over to Mr. Karpeles. “Jed was still helping out when he could, like we all did, but Mark had completely controlled Mt. Gox at this point.” Even Ripple Labs was excoriated on its own message boards for its association with Mr. McCaleb. One poster claimed that he knew for a fact that Mr. McCaleb maintained close ties to Mr. Karpeles after the sale, giving him his personal bank account information so Mt. Gox customers could deposit money through Mr. McCaleb. A reliable source could not confirm the details of the arrangement between the two Mt. Gox owners, but said it was “definitely Jed’s style to keep things loose and informal, such as trusting Mark with his personal bank account—and his administrator password, which then got hacked.” The two indeed appeared to be very close and Jed’s sale and departure seem incredibly timed: The World Money Show was in 2012 not long before Jed McCaleb left Ripple. Charlie Shrem is the host who is a founder of the Bitcoin Foundation along w/ Mark Karpeles who was Jed’s future partner at Mt Gox. @digitalassetbuy @DigPerspectives @BlackberryXRP https://t.co/7nxeyuV5Cn pic.twitter.com/sCZpN8OaUX — Cowboy.X (@cowboycrypto313) July 13, 2022 Tiffany Hayden has also raised a key point: was Jed ever actually IN Japan? Mt.Gox was famously located in Japan and yet Jed appears to have no connection to Japan whatsoever. Was Mt.Gox truly located in Japan? Hayden wonders if, perhaps, Costa Rica was more important than Japan because McCaleb has many ties to Costa Rica: Does anybody remember why @JedMcCaleb launched Mt Gox in Japan? Did he ever say? https://t.co/rSzBOE5oe0 —

Fire up the Discombobulator! And load up all the other secret tech that we clearly have that the world doesn’t know about… Because it’s time for Venezuela 2.0. After fully knocking out their Army, Navy and Airforce, whatever is left of Iran’s military and/or just Guerrilla citizens continues to be a nuisance to the world in and around the Hormuz Strait. And it looks like President Trump has finally had enough, telling Maria Bartiromo this morning it’s time to end it with a “Full Venezuela” move. Watch here: IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump confirms he's going FULL VENEZUELA on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran There it is!! "It's going to be all or none. And that's the way it is. You saw what we did with Venezuela. It'll be something very similar to that, but at a higher level."… pic.twitter.com/GUjtzXsAD8 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) April 12, 2026 TRANSCRIPT: Show this morning saying that we will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz, and at some point, we will reach an all being allowed to go in and all being allowed to go out basis. So tell us what you’re trying to accomplish—it’s called—with this blockade, sir, all in, all out. It’s called all in and all out. There’ll be a time when we’ll have ’em all come in and all come out, but it won’t be a percentage. It won’t be a friend of yours, like a country that’s your ally or a country that’s your friend. It’s all or nothing, and that’ll be, uh, that won’t be in too long a distance. No, we’re, uh, just bringing the ships up. We got a lot of ships, so we’re bringing ’em up. Uh, we think that, uh, numerous countries are gonna be helping us with this also. But we’re putting on a complete blockade. Uh, we’re not gonna let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don’t like or whatever it is. It’s gonna be all or none, and that’s the way it is. And it’ll be, uh, you saw, you saw what we did with Venezuela. It’ll be something very similar to that but at, at a, at a higher level. And, and Mr. President, you say that there may be a mine out there somewhere that nobody knows about but them, and this is world- Backup here on Rumble if needed: Make it happen, sir. It’s time. WIPE THEM OUT. End this. Meanwhile, perhaps this was actually the plan all along? With the Strait of Hormuz closed, it turns out most tankers are headed for the Gulf of America instead! DONALD TRUMP JUST STUNNED THE WORLD! Oil and gas tankers are suddenly racing to the U.S., crowding the Gulf of America and loading up on American energy like there’s no tomorrow. Let the global‑elite appeasers and woke eco‑purists see this: when the pipelines flow, the… pic.twitter.com/gNuEalueTK — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) April 12, 2026 Was that President Trump’s plan all along? Did he just beat them at their own game? Sabotage the Strait of Hormuz? Ok, fine. It’s closed. Blockaded. No traffic in or out. Meanwhile….America is open for business! Genius!

I really wish I could stop covering this… I really wish I could just go full fan boy and marvel at how amazing it is we keep going to the Moon, or in this case I guess we just flew around it? I really wish I could write an article about how we’re so close to a Star Trek future, out there among the stars! I really wish all of those things were true, but NASA won’t let me do any of those things. Because stuff like this keeps happening… The Artemis II Astronauts are back from their joy-ride around the Moon, and today they held a Press Conference. Cool, right? It was until this moment happened: When the Artemis II actornaut's earpiece cuts out mid post-mission speech pic.twitter.com/09BJMebNe0 — ₿en Wehrman (@benwehrman) April 12, 2026 Backup here on Rumble if needed: So, what happened? What did we just watch? The general consensus seems to be her earpiece stopped working, so she stopped talking: Imagine not being able to freely articulate your experience of flying through space at 25,000mph & around the moon, and having to wait for your Ear Piece to work again. In 2026 even the ‘Astronauts’ talk like the Marxists. pic.twitter.com/Lo1oe93Dh4 — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) April 12, 2026 In other words, she wasn’t speaking freely and just describing her experience… What seems pretty clear from this video is she was listening to an earpiece and saying what they told her to say. Why? Why do that? Why is that necessary? One person called it the cringiest post-hoax interview ever: pic.twitter.com/rTqBwD16Qg — FLAT EARTH LIBRARY (@FELibrary_) April 12, 2026 But I have to take issue with that statement… I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is the cringiest post-hoax interview ever. No, I believe that honor goes to the big Press Conference Buzz, Neil and the third guy had when they got back from WALKING ON THE FREAKING MOON! You’d think they’d have smiles from ear to ear that simply wouldn’t wipe off…right? You know, something like how Sir Edmund Hillary looked after climbing Mount Everest — see below: Look at how happy sir Edmund Hillary is and Tenzing Norgay they just climbed mount EverestLook at buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and Mike Collins they look like they were at a funeral they are obviously lying at this press conference they never went to the moon.They know the lie pic.twitter.com/mEqjsPTfYH — Persia اریایی (@roya21042019) February 16, 2022 Nope! Instead they looked like this…☝️ You might say they looked exactly as you or I might look if you had just faked a Moon Landing and deceived and entire nation. But that’s just my take, you be the judge. Do these look like guys who just walked on the Moon? Buzz Aldrin & Neil Armstrong at the first press conference after returning to Earth. Three truth tellers. The look of confidence, honesty & pure happiness after the greatest accomplishment in modern history. Wow! These guys are my idols. pic.twitter.com/1onOk2IeAk — An0maly (@LegendaryEnergy) August 18, 2019 You can watch the whole solemn press conference here on Rumble — it’s stunning: So…with all due respect to the person who called it the cringiest….it’s close, but Neil and Buzz and the other guy still hold that record. And then we have many other questions coming up that don’t seem to have good answers. For example, the Orion capsule allegedly heated up to 2800 degrees during re-entry and then a few minutes later touched down in the ice-cold Ocean. Ok Noah, so what?  Big deal? Just one simple question: where was all the steam? There was no steam! Elimizde bir adet 2800 santigrat dereceye kadar ısınmış Orion kapsülü var. Bu kapsülü buz gibi okyanus suyuna daldırıyoruz.1. Suda kaynama ve/veya buhar tabakası oluşur mu?2. Isıl şok kapsülde çatlama ve/veya kırılmaya sebep olmaz mı?3.

Won’t there be a density change in the heated water? Not only that, but what (excuse the pun) space-age material is this thing made out of? What alien technology did we put in that Orion Capsule that does not melt at 2800 degrees C?

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of Americans – regardless of their ideological leanings – simply trusted the medical establishment. That trust was devastated by the experience of the pandemic. According to polling, in April 2020 – at the outbreak of the pandemic – 71.5% of respondents reported having “a lot of trust” in physicians and hospitals. By January 2024, that number had plummeted to 40.1%. Unfortunately, trust in our healthcare system and its institutions has been undermined by a belief that decisions are being made – not based on what is in the best interest of Americans healthcare – but what is in the best interest of corporate bottom lines. To restore faith in our system, we need research and treatment that is focused on the patient’s health – not just profit. That’s where The Wellness Company comes in. Dr. Peter McCullough, and a number of his colleagues at The Wellness Company, have recently authored a first of its kind study of the application of Ivermectin+Mebendazole in the treatment of cancer. 84% of Cancer Patients Reported a Clinical Benefit In this human observational analysis, off-label use of Ivermectin+Mebendazole showed a remarkable 84% Clinical Benefit Ratio in the treatment of cancer. These results indicate that the inexpensive and safe off-label applications of these medications could be an important breakthrough in the treatment of cancer. The report analyzed 197 cancer patients who were prescribed ivermectin and mebendazole off label. Participants received compounded oral capsules containing 25 mg of ivermectin and 250 mg of mebendazole. After 6-months, participants reported an 84% Clinical Benefit Ratio. With 48% of participants reporting regression or no evidence of cancer, while 36% reported disease stability. Only 15.6% of participants reported disease progression. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally, with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted agents frequently limited by significant toxicity, high cost, development of resistance, and variable long-term efficacy. The experts at The Wellness Company undertook this study because ivermectin and mebendazole have demonstrated highly promising anti-cancer activity in preclinical models. But despite compelling preclinical data and documented safe use in cancer patients, robust clinical evidence evaluating the ivermectin–mebendazole combination in oncology remains limited. According to Dr. McCullough, “This study reveals an exciting new potential that should expand the consideration of ivermectin and mebendazole for inclusion in the treatment of multiple cancer types. We urgently need a full-fledged scientific investigation into this class of medications and their impact on cancer treatment.” How You Can Get Ivermectin + Mebendazole The Wellness Company is the only company in the world to prescribe compounded Ivermectin + Mebendazole, in a high-dose 90-day supply: Ivermectin – Backed by science and honored with a Nobel Prize, Ivermectin delivers precise treatment against parasitic infections, ensuring effective care and well-being for your family with trusted precision. Mebendazole – Trusted by healthcare professionals, Mebendazole targets and eliminates intestinal parasites with precision, ensuring your family’s health and well-being with proven efficacy and safety. Head over to The Wellness Company today to order a 90-day supply of the ultimate parasite cleanse – Ivermectin + Mebendazole. Simply fill out the 2-minute intake questionnaire after checkout to complete your prescription request. What people are saying about The Wellness Company’s Ivermectin + Mebendazole: I am grateful to have a medicine as potentially beneficial as ivermectin and mebendazole, but the most important thing for me is the faith I have in Dr. McCullough and The Wellness Company for making a safe product, in our country. I am grateful for them protecting us through the use of proven products and the peace in knowing that I’m taking something that is precisely what it states on the labels. – Jennifer W. My daughter was diagnosed with uterine cancer and lung nodules that turned out to be cancerous. She started taking ivermectin/mebendazole 2 weeks ago. She had a PET scan last month and her lungs were littered with dime and pea sized nodules from the top to the bottom of her lungs. She had a biopsy on the 14th of April and the Physcian had to SEARCH for a nodule big enough to get a sample from, and the ONE that he found was at the bottom of her left lung that he said was only a few centimeters wide….

A federal appeals court has ruled that a 158-year-old ban on home distilling is unconstitutional, saying it exceeded the constitutional authority of Congress to levy taxes. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans “ruled Friday in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members,” The Washington Times reports. The group argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether for personal consumption or as a hobby. US appeals court declares 158-year-old home distilling ban unconstitutional https://t.co/xVN086JGg9 pic.twitter.com/Gf8GjH8jOU — New York Post (@nypost) April 11, 2026 More from The Washington Times: The ban was part of a law passed during Reconstruction in July 1868, in part to thwart liquor tax evasion, and subjected violators to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Edith Hollan Jones argued that the prohibition not only failed to generate tax revenue but also overstepped federal authority by criminalizing private activities without a clear constitutional basis. Judge Jones noted that the government’s logic could theoretically allow Congress to outlaw any in-home activity, such as remote work or small businesses, that might evade taxation. The decision upheld a July 2024 ruling by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth, Texas, who put his ruling on hold so the government could appeal. The case was brought by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian legal group that has long challenged the limits of federal regulatory power. The Hobby Distillers Association was founded in 2013 by Rick Morris, who had long pushed for legalization — first through lobbying, then through litigation after congressional efforts stalled. Larger commercial distillers had previously blocked legislative change, perhaps because they viewed home distillers as potential competitors. “Without any limiting principle, the government’s theory would violate this court’s obligation to read the constitution carefully to avoid creating a general federal authority akin to the police power,” Jones wrote, according to The Guardian. US Court Strikes Down 158-Year-Old Home Distilling Ban: 'An important victory for individual liberty' https://t.co/6pMrf7yo0K — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 11, 2026 The Guardian shared further: Devin Watkins, a lawyer representing the Hobby Distillers Association, called the ruling an important decision about the limits of federal power. Andrew Grossman, who argued the non-profit’s appeal, called the decision “an important victory for individual liberty” that allows the plaintiffs to “pursue their passion to distill fine beverages in their homes”. “I look forward to sampling their output,” he said.
