Peter Todd: Being wrongly identified as "Satoshi Nakamoto" by HBO documentary will bring me security risks, and I have not yet decided whether to sue

Odaily News Cullen Hoback, the director of HBO's latest documentary "Electronic Money: The Mystery of Bitcoin", identified the protagonist, Canadian software developer and cryptocurrency expert Peter Todd, as "Satoshi Nakamoto" in the film, sparking heated discussions in the cryptocurrency circle. In response to this, Peter Todd emphasized that he was not "Satoshi Nakamoto" when responding to the media, and Cullen Hoback's identification of him as "Satoshi Nakamoto" was just a way to attract attention to his Bitcoin documentary. "During the production of the documentary, Cullen interviewed me 4 to 5 times for many hours. Until the last interview, he did not give any impression that he was looking for Satoshi Nakamoto. He just introduced that he was trying to make a documentary about Bitcoin itself." Peter Todd further explained. In addition, Peter Todd also emphasized his personal safety, saying, "Being falsely accused of owning billions of dollars by (Cullen Hoback) would bring risks to me." Peter Todd also said that he has not yet decided whether to take legal action to protect his own interests.
