According to Odaily, HBO has put forward the theory that Peter Todd might be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, although Todd has denied this claim. The reasons for HBO's assertion are as follows:
In 2010, Todd responded to a post by Satoshi Nakamoto on the Bitcointalk forum from a new account. HBO suggests that Todd accidentally used his own account to make a post intended for Nakamoto. A few days later, both accounts ceased to update. Subsequently, Todd implemented the 'replace-by-fee' (RBF) concept discussed in the post. The documentary claims that Todd used the pseudonym 'John Dillon' to promote RBF. Additionally, both Todd and Nakamoto used British/Canadian spelling conventions.
The documentary also notes that Nakamoto posted on a schedule that aligned with a student's timetable, with more activity on weekends. Furthermore, Todd once discussed 'sacrificing' Bitcoin, which the documentary interprets as a reference to destroying Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings.
