Peter Todd forced into hiding after HBO documentary wrongly identified him as Satoshi Nakamoto


Canadian cryptographer Peter Todd, who was identified as Satoshi Nakamoto in the HBO documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery," has been forced into hiding. Todd claimed that documentary director Cullen Hoback used misleading evidence to come to the wrong conclusion, and that it has put him at risk of security threats, including potential kidnapping and robbery. Todd said he agreed to appear in the HBO documentary because he believed it was about the history of Bitcoin, not an attempt to uncover the truth.
