Peter Todd, a Canadian software developer, is rejecting claims made in the HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery that he is the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd, who contributed to Bitcoin’s core software, stated he would not have participated in the film had he known it would focus on unmasking Satoshi.

Todd called the accusations dangerous and said he has made emergency travel plans to protect himself. He joins many in the Bitcoin community in arguing that Satoshi’s identity should remain anonymous.
