Documentary maker Cullen Hoback claims Peter Todd is the Bitcoin creator of a new HBO documentary.
Todd has repeatedly and categorically denied that he created Bitcoin .
The identity of the person who created Bitcoin has been the subject of speculation since December 2010 .
The trove of bitcoin Satoshi is widely believed to have controlled, suspected to be worth many billions of dollars today .
The main evidence presented by Hoback in support of the theory that Todd created Bitcoin is a forum thread from December 2010 in which Todd appears to be “finishing Satoshi’s sentences,” as Hoback puts it.
Hoback says the identity of the real Satoshi is a matter of public interest.
“I think that the idea that it puts their life [at risk] is a little overblown," says Hoback .
Though Todd has not been proven outright to be Satoshi , he knows that a denial alone is not enough to convince the world that he is not. “If you assume a sophisticated enough Satoshi , practically any theory is possible,” says Todd . “It's a useless question, because Satoshi would simply deny it.”.
