Todd: I’m Not Satoshi
BitMEX Research said, “This is clearly ridiculous,” and it is just an example of Todd replying to Satoshi with a “snarky, pedantic, and accurate comment.”
“This is the kind of comment Peter could make today. There is zero reason to believe this was Satoshi.”

“I have some personal connections to Ukraine, and I’ve been there multiple times during the full-scale invasion […] giving talks to the Ukrainian Bitcoin community.”
According to a CNN interview with the documentary’s director, Cullen Hoback, Peter Todd explicitly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto, calling the film “irresponsible” and claiming it puts his life in danger.
Todd stated that HBO did not approach him before the film’s release and did not offer him a chance to screen it, but Hoback remains confident in his conclusion despite the denial.

So Who Is He?
Todd is a 39-year-old graduate of Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, and he would have been 23 when the Bitcoin white paper was being completed.
He claims to have started communicating with key crypto influencers and cypherpunks when he was about 15.
Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter who has known Todd since 2017, said “He is one of the most important Bitcoiners, from a technical perspective,” but doesn’t believe he is Satoshi.
Bitcoiner Jameson Lopp was also skeptical about the claim.
Wherever Satoshi may be, I like to think they’re having a laugh at this latest round of foolishness.
