Peter Todd, a renowned software developer involved in the world of Bitcoin, went on the run after the HBO documentary “Money Electric: The Mystery of Bitcoin” identified him as Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin.
Cullen Hoback’s production presented the theory that Todd would be the real Satoshi Nakamoto. This caused a huge repercussion.
Todd vehemently denied the allegations. Furthermore, he expressed concern for his personal safety following the release of the documentary. Nakamoto’s fortune, estimated at more than 73.7 billion dollars, corresponding to around 1.1 million BTC, represents a considerable risk for Todd, if suspicions about him persist.
Since the release of the documentary, the developer has received a flood of emails.
Is Peter Todd Satoshi?
“So far, it’s mostly requests for money,” Todd said.
In one extreme case, he received 25 emails in just two days from someone asking for help paying off a loan. This situation led Todd to fear for his life, especially with the increase in threats to his safety.
The allegation that Todd was Nakamoto not only puts his integrity at risk, but also opens the door to threats such as kidnapping and extortion. Todd himself pointed out: “Falsely claiming that ordinary people have extraordinary fortunes exposes them to immeasurable dangers.”
The developer made it clear that if Nakamoto wanted to appear, he would have already revealed himself. Furthermore, he said that attempts to uncover his identity put innocent individuals at risk.
The controversy increased when Jack Mallers, founder of the Strike platform and one of the most influential names in the Bitcoin universe, criticized HBO for the decision to explore Nakamoto’s identity.
Mallers warned that this foolish search could have serious consequences for anyone who was wrongly identified as the creator of Bitcoin, as happened to Todd. Mallers classified the production as irresponsible, highlighting the dangers of a “hunt for Satoshi”.
