Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd admitted to being Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO’s latest documentary — but the confession isn’t what it seems.
HBO’s documentary aimed at outing Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has reportedly named Canadian Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd as the cryptocurrency’s inventor.
Cullen Hobak — the producer of HBO’s Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery documentary — confronts Todd and Blockstream founder Adam Back with the evidence he stitched together to conclude that Todd was Nakamoto, according to an Oct. 9 Politico report.
The documentary’s finale ends with Todd saying: “Well yeah, I’m Satoshi Nakamoto,” in response to a question from Hoback.
