“Journalists (including myself) 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. Mr Mollah’s cheek is twitching rapidly as he stares down a sceptical crowd,” Joe Tidy wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) post.

He also made unsubstantiated claims about developing energy recovery technology for cars and creating the television show .

During the event, a Frontline Club representative clarified that the venue had no affiliation with the proceedings, leading at least one reporter to walk out.

Satoshi Remains Illusive

Various people have previously claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto without verifiable proof. Craig Wright, an Australian scientist, recently lost a UK lawsuit against The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) over his own claim.

After a month-long trial, a UK court found Wrights evidence insufficient and ruled he was not the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Wright now faces a Worldwide Freezing Order (WFO) from the UK High Court, preventing him from moving assets until he pays £1.548 million ($1.9 million) in legal fees to crypto podcast host Peter McCormack.

Amid these events, HBO Max released a documentary suggesting that Peter Todd, a Canadian cryptographer involved in Bitcoins early days, could be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Todd, however, denied the allegations, expressing that the attention has disrupted his life and compromised his safety. Since the documentary aired, he has received numerous messages seeking financial help and has reportedly gone into hiding.
