Satoshi Nakamoto claim in London conference fails to convince
At a press conference in London on October 31, Stephen Mollah claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).
However, his assertions were met with skepticism due to a lack of credible evidence, leading to frustration among attendees.
The event, held at the Frontline Club, quickly lost credibility as technical difficulties and unsupported statements left many questioning Mollah’s authenticity.
Journalists present, including Joe Tidy from BBC News, reported on the chaotic proceedings.
The admission fee for the event was reportedly $540, but the structure of the conference fell apart when Mollah encountered issues with his laptop.
In addition to claiming to be Nakamoto, Mollah described himself as an “economic and monetary scientist” and referenced an unpublished interview from 2016 with BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones.
When pressed for proof of his identity, Mollah presented a few seemingly fake screenshots.
He was unable to offer any concrete evidence such as transferring Bitcoin from the Genesis block or providing cryptographic verification. Instead, he promised attendees that he would deliver proof "in the next few months."
Joe Tidy noted on X (formerly Twitter), “Journalists have interrupted Mr. Mollah’s long backstory and asked for him to show the promised evidence. Been here nearly an hour and people are restless and increasingly rude.”
During the event, a representative from Frontline Club clarified that the venue had no affiliation with Mollah’s claims, prompting at least one reporter to leave in protest.
Mollah's presentation joins a long list of failed claims regarding Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.
Notably, Craig Wright recently lost a UK lawsuit over his own assertions about being Nakamoto, highlighting the ongoing mystery surrounding Bitcoin's creator.
At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $70,150.37.
