Press release claims to reveal Satoshi on Bitcoin’s whitepaper anniversary—What we know so far

A press release has announced that the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, will be revealed in a live press conference on October 31, 2024. The claimed Satoshi cited increasing legal pressures as the reason for coming forward. The organizers promise to provide a live demonstration to validate the authenticity of the creator and showcase locations relevant to the creation of Bitcoin. However, many in the crypto community are skeptical due to past unverified claims. It was later discovered that the organizer of the event, Charles Anderson, had connections to a British businessman, Stephen Mollah, who is accused of fraudulently claiming to be Satoshi. Anderson's involvement in the scheme remains unclear, and both he and Mollah are scheduled for trial on November 3, 2025.
