Canadian cryptographer and developer Peter Todd became the focus of attention after an HBO documentary aired, suggesting him as the creator of Bitcoin.

HBO Documentary and Its Aftermath

On October 9, the HBO documentary 'Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery' identified Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Following the film's release, Todd reportedly went into hiding due to threats.

Peter Todd's Refutation

Todd strongly denied the claims of him being Bitcoin's creator, asserting that the documentary unjustly made him a target for money demands. He emphasized that Bitcoin's creator never wanted to be discovered and criticized bringing undue attention to unrelated individuals.

Interest in Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity

Speculation about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has been prevalent since the creator of the world's largest digital asset vanished in 2010. Alongside Todd, other individuals have been suspected, such as Adam Back and Len Sassaman. In March 2024, a UK court ruled that Australian scientist Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

The HBO documentary has puzzled the crypto community, prompting Peter Todd to refute claims and avoid the attention that may compromise his safety.
