Peter Todd, the Canadian developer who was recently identified as a potential candidate for the creator of Bitcoin in a new HBO documentary, has vanished from public view amidst the controversy surrounding the allegations.
While Todd has repeatedly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto, the documentary presented evidence suggesting his involvement. The revelation has sparked intense speculation and debate within the crypto community.
Following the release of the documentary, Todd has become increasingly elusive, avoiding public appearances and media interviews. His disappearance has only fueled rumors and further intensified the mystery surrounding the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator.
“For the record, I am not Satoshi,” Todd stated in an email to WIRED. “I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”
Hoback, known for previously claiming to identify the person behind QAnon, maintains confidence in his conclusions despite Todd’s denials. “While of course we can’t outright say he is Satoshi, I think that we make a very strong case,” Hoback said.
