According to Polymarket, Len Sassaman, a well-known privacy advocate and cryptography specialist who committed suicide in 2011, is believed to be the most likely candidate to be unmasked as the real Satoshi Nakamoto in an upcoming HBO documentary. The theory suggests that Sassaman may have created Bitcoin under the pseudonym Nakamoto, and his suicide could be linked to Nakamoto's final message. The theory points to Sassaman's work on encryption and remailers, as well as similarities in their late-night online activity. Polymarket gives Sassaman a 47% chance of being revealed as Nakamoto in the documentary. Craig Wright, Elon Musk, Jed McCaleb, and Dorian Nakamoto also feature on the list of potential candidates. However, it is not confirmed that HBO will reveal Nakamoto's identity, as their promotional material only asks the question about the future of money and who holds the power.
