Odds for Len Sassaman being the real Satoshi Nakamoto have dropped below 30% on Polymarket .

Sassaman 's widow has publicly dismissed the notion that her late husband could be Bitcoin 's creator.

The Polymarket pool has reached over $2,397,809 as of Oct.5 and is based upon the documentary Money Electric : The Bitcoin Mystery , set to premiere next week .

The most regularly named candidates to be Satoshi Nakamoto include famous personas, namely: the deceased computer programmer Hal Finney , Nick Szabo , one of the inventors of Bit Gold ; Adam Back , inventor of Hash Cash; and Wei Dai , who have denied being the phantom Bitcoin creator.

Less conventional theories say that it was a former programmer and cartel leader Paul Le Roux , who is currently in prison, or even the CIA .
