HBO Film Suggests Former Bitcoin Developer Peter Todd Denies Satoshi Identity


HBO's highly anticipated documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery has generated controversy by claiming Peter Todd, an early Bitcoin developer, is Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd swiftly disputed the charges on X (previously Twitter), but the film has already sparked crypto hype.



The video follows multiple clues and interviews specialists, eventually pointing to former Bitcoin developer Peter Todd as the main suspect. In a dramatic encounter at the finale, Todd teases Hoback by calling him Nakamoto, only to contradict himself. This friendly conversation has left many viewers wondering whether Todd was teasing the director or if the accusation is true.

After the film's screening, crypto community members criticized Hoback's findings online. Skeptics, especially X, expressed their doubts on social media. Todd complained that the documentary's material was fanciful and unsubstantiated. Despite Todd's protestations, the film's disclosure has deepened Nakamoto's identity conjecture after a decade.


Peter Todd Claims Film Endangers Life
Pete told CNN that the HBO program and its producers were “irresponsible” and endangered his life.

“Cullen is really grasping for straws here,” Todd said, accusing the director of hyperbolizing tiny coincidences. He complained that HBO did not contact him or let him see the documentary before its publication. “It’s ironic—this kind of leap in logic fuels conspiracy theories,” Todd remarked.


Hoback, best known for studying the QAnon conspiracy in Q: Into the Storm, is no stranger to controversy. He told Fast Company that calling Todd Nakamoto would spark controversy. Regardless of our argument, people will discuss it, which is great. This area is like that, Hoback stated.

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the internet's greatest mysteries. Nakamoto may possess 1.1 million BTC, worth $68 billion, and have influenced Bitcoin's beginnings.
