HBO Theorizes Peter Todd May Be Satoshi Nakamoto

According to Odaily, HBO has theorized that Peter Todd may be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, although Todd denies the claim. HBO's reasons for the claim are as follows:

In 2010, Todd responded to a post by Satoshi Nakamoto on the Bitcointalk forum from a new account. HBO theorizes that Todd accidentally used his own account to make a post intended for Nakamoto. A few days later, both accounts stopped updating. Todd subsequently implemented the "RBF" concept discussed in the post. The documentary claims that Todd used the pseudonym "John Dillon" to promote RBF. Additionally, both Todd and Nakamoto used British/Canadian spelling conventions. The documentary also notes that Nakamoto published on a schedule that matched that of a student, with more activity on weekends. Additionally, Todd once discussed “donating” Bitcoin, which the documentary interprets as a reference to Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings being destroyed.
