Leaked clips from HBO's upcoming documentary on Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, suggest that former Bitcoin developer Peter Todd is being accused of being Satoshi, but Todd denies it. In an email to CoinDesk, Todd dismisses the accusation, stating that the filmmaker is "grasping at straws" and resorting to conspiracy thinking. Todd's involvement as Satoshi was not listed as a possibility in a betting market on the film's reveal, which favored "Other/Multiple." Todd is seen laughing off the accusations in the leaked clips and reaffirms that he is not Satoshi. The documentary's director, Cullen Hoback, confronts Todd with his theory, but it's unclear if the film reaches a different conclusion about Satoshi's identity.
