Peter Todd, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community, is now living a real-life thriller after being falsely identified as the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
The documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” wrongly accused Todd of being Nakamoto, a claim that has put his life in danger. Todd has revealed that he has received numerous threats since the film’s release, highlighting the dangers of being falsely associated with immense wealth.
“It’s a terrifying situation,” Todd said. “I agreed to participate in the documentary to share the history of Bitcoin, not to become the target of threats.”
Despite Todd’s denial, the film’s director, Cullen Hoback, continues to insist that Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto.
