Canadian developer Todd claim for Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO documentary: “No, it's not me”

The premiere of HBO's "Electric Money: The Mystery of Bitcoin" documentary, which is eagerly awaited by the crypto world, was held last night. Canadian Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd was shown as Satoshi in the documentary. Todd, on the other hand, denied the allegations both through the statements he made to the media and X.

In HBO's documentary, it was claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto was Canadian developer Peter Todd. Todd, on the other hand, categorically denied the allegations.

The claim of "destroying Bitcoins"

One of the most important details in the documentary is based on a message from Todd. Todd here calls himself an expert on “sacrificing Bitcoins”. The documentary, on the other hand, sees this as Satoshi destroying his own BTC. So according to the documentary, Todd deliberately cut off access to more than 1 million BTC owned by Satoshi. This shows that Satoshi is actually Todd. It is known that Satoshi's BTCs have not moved in any way for years.

“He used two different accounts”

One of the notable claims was that Todd had a "bitcointalk" account on behalf of both himself and Satoshi. In the documentary, it was claimed that Todd wrote on behalf of both himself and Satoshi in 2010 without using his official name (under the name John Dillon). In fact, according to HBO; In a message, Todd sent the answer from Dillon's account, which should have come from Satoshi. The fact that both accounts ended their messages in similar periods was also from the details of the documentary.

HBO's documentary also gave information that both Satoshi and Todd wrote in Canadian and British English. Similar allegations are also made for Adam Back, who has been British for years. Back also persistently denies that he is Satoshi.
