Mystery: LONDON — A new HBO documentary claims to have cracked the true identity of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
If its findings are widely accepted, the disclosure could send shockwaves through world financial markets and even the U.S. presidential election, given the way Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has cultivated the support of Bitcoin enthusiasts.
The documentary is the latest work of Emmy-nominated Cullen Hoback, who drew critical acclaim for his series “Q: Into the Storm” that exposed the authors of the QAnon conspiracy theory. The big reveal is set to air next Wednesday at 2 a.m. CET (Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST).
