British media company claims to reveal identity of Satoshi Nakamoto
Amidst endless speculation about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, PR London Live suddenly announced that it would publicly reveal the “legal identity” of the father of Bitcoin, raising many questions in the community.
Update on the evening of October 31, 2024:
According to BBC reporter Joe Tidy, who attended the press conference, the person claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto is named Stephen Mollah. Mr. Mollah claims to be an economist and currency expert. However, Mr. Mollah did not provide any solid evidence to confirm that he is Satoshi at the press conference.
When asked by the reporter to try to transfer Bitcoins mined by Satoshi in the early days, Mr. Mollah said that he would do so in the coming months.

While the community continues to speculate and debate about the true identity of the "father of Bitcoin", especially after HBO announced the debunking of Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, a media company called PR London Live has announced that it will reveal Nakamoto's true "legal identity" at the Meet Satoshi event in Paddington, London, on October 31.

The announcement is further enticing with the cryptic description: "There have been many reasons to keep the identity secret until now, but the test is complete. Although it did not go exactly as planned, it was a great success. We have a lot to share and some of it may surprise you."
More notably, PR London Live also released a "mysterious quote", believed to be from Satoshi Nakamoto himself, stating: "It is time for me to officially come out into the light. I am facing serious legal challenges, and I believe the world deserves to know the truth."
This cryptic quote, although its source has not been verified, immediately stirred up the crypto community, raising countless questions and speculations about the upcoming PR London Live event.
However, there are currently only 103 people registered to attend the "Meet Satoshi" event on MeetUp, despite being created more than 2 years ago.

In addition, the organizer of PR London Live once claimed to be an authentic content platform but did not list any clients or partners on its website.
Charles Anderson, CEO and content manager of PR London Live, is even introduced as a "top investigative journalist" and "the only person alive who knows the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto". Not stopping there, on his personal LinkedIn page, Anderson boldly declared himself as Satoshi Nakamoto's business partner, personal assistant, communications manager and legal representative since October 2017.

However, with such a "huge" profile, the CEO left the company's website full of spelling mistakes, incorrect grammar and "dead" links. Moreover, many parts of the website's content were detected by AI tools as copied products and the company's official registered address when checked on Google Maps Street View was shown as an agricultural land.

In addition, the Frontline Club, the venue for the meetup, did not list any Satoshi-related events on their event page on October 31 or the following days.
These unusual details have led the crypto community to believe that this was just a cheap clickbait. Organizing a big event to reveal the identity of Nakamoto, a character known for his reclusiveness and mystery, is indeed a puzzling move. In addition, the lack of information, along with the "explosive" statements about the close relationship between Anderson and Nakamoto, has made this event even more suspicious. An account named @WayneVaughan shared on X:
"Satoshi Nakamoto holding a press conference to reveal his identity? It just doesn't seem right. It's definitely a trick."
The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity has been a "tricky question" that has troubled the crypto community for many years, especially after his mysterious disappearance in 2010.
Recently, HBO stirred up public opinion when it released the documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" and confirmed that Peter Todd was Satoshi Nakamoto. This shocking statement immediately met with a wave of fierce opposition, along with countless doubts about the authenticity of the information.
Even Peter Todd, the reluctant protagonist in this story, had to live in hiding because he was constantly harassed and threatened after the film was released.
