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.”.
