According to CoinDesk: The mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin, has led to shifting odds on Polymarket as rumours swirl ahead of an upcoming HBO documentary. Over the weekend, bettors favored the late cryptographer Len Sassaman as a prime candidate to be Nakamoto. However, new information caused a major shake-up, with Sassaman’s odds plunging from 55% to 14% after his widow, Meredith L. Patterson, firmly denied the claim and revealed that the documentary makers had not contacted her.

As a result, bettors now believe that "Other/Multiple" candidates will be revealed in the documentary, holding a strong 56% lead in the odds. Sassaman remains at 13%, with Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and an early Bitcoin developer, trailing at 11%. Back, who was suggested by Samson Mow, has denied being Nakamoto, tweeting that he doesn't know Satoshi's true identity.

Despite no concrete leaks, speculation has driven millions of dollars in bets across various candidates on Polymarket, with over $13 million wagered in the last 24 hours. The documentary will air at 02:00 UTC on Wednesday (9 p.m. Tuesday ET), and viewers are eager to see if any definitive revelations about Bitcoin’s creator will finally emerge.
