Bitcoin Developer Peter Todd Goes into Hiding Following Allegations of Being Satoshi Nakamoto

According to a documentary by Cullen Hoback, Bitcoin developer Peter Todd was suggested to be Satoshi Nakamoto due to his early interest in cryptography, technical skills, and a supposed forum slip-up. However, Todd denies these claims and has reportedly gone into hiding due to an influx of financial requests and potential threats from those who believe he possesses Nakamoto's fortune. This highlights the real-world dangers of such public allegations. Todd's alleged identity as Nakamoto was featured in the HBO documentary, Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery.
