In response to an HBO documentary linking him to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, prominent Bitcoin developer Peter Todd has denied being the creator of Bitcoin. He accused HBO and filmmaker Cullen Hoback of endangering his life with the documentary, which has been criticized within the Bitcoin community for lacking evidence. The documentary highlighted Todd's interactions on the BitcoinTalk forum and emails with Hal Finney, but Todd argues that they were misrepresented. The film also mentioned leaked emails between Todd and someone potentially linked to the US intelligence community. The documentary has faced widespread criticism within the cryptocurrency community, with some comparing it to a flat earth documentary. However, the filmmaker defends the project, claiming to have presented evidence and downplaying Todd's denial. Overall, the documentary is seen as not offering any new insight into Satoshi's identity, keeping it an unsolved mystery.
