ChainCatcher reported that according to the Daily Economic News, HBO's latest documentary (Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery) was released, and director Cullen Hoback identified the protagonist, Canadian software developer and cryptocurrency expert Peter Todd, as "Satoshi Nakamoto". In response, Peter Todd emphasized that he is not "Satoshi Nakamoto", and Cullen Hoback's identification of him as "Satoshi Nakamoto" is just a way to attract attention to his Bitcoin documentary.
“Cullen interviewed me 4 or 5 times during the making of the documentary, for many hours. Until the last interview, he never gave any impression that he was looking for Satoshi Nakamoto. He just introduced that he was trying to make a documentary about Bitcoin itself,” Peter Todd further explained.
In addition, Peter Todd also emphasized his personal safety, saying that "being falsely accused of owning billions of dollars by (Cullen Hoback) would put me at risk." Peter Todd also said that he has not yet decided whether to take legal action to protect his own interests.
