The identity of bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has long been one of the biggest mysteries of the internet age. A new HBO documentary, “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” claims to have an answer. Yet the man that director Cullen Hoback’s film names as the 2009 founder of bitcoin is denying he is Satoshi Nakamoto. “For the record, I’m not Satoshi,” Peter Todd, a bitcoin core developer, told CNN in a statement. Todd accused the film of being “irresponsible” and putting his life in danger. “Cullen is grasping for straws here,” said Todd, who claimed he was not approached by HBO in the run-up to the film’s release and was not offered a chance to screen the film before it aired Tuesday night. “He is playing up a few coincidences into something much more. Ironic really: that’s a hallmark of conspiracy thinking.” A spokesperson for HBO did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. HBO, like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. However, the films’ director told CNN he is unsurprised by Todd’s denial and he remains confident in his documentary’s conclusion.
