Software developer Peter Todd denies being Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, in response to the HBO documentary linking him to Nakamoto through circumstantial evidence.
Todd refutes the claim made in the documentary, explaining that his internet message board account was not used by Nakamoto, and that users typically used anonymous handles on the Bitcoin message board.
Todd criticizes the documentary's approach as a weak attempt to identify Nakamoto based on coincidences.
Todd expresses concerns for his safety, as false accusations of having a large Bitcoin fortune could put him at risk of robbery or kidnapping.
