Peter should take some legal actions against HBO because the damage is done, and there is no way back.
I was expecting more from HBO and their journalists, but what they did is to affect directly a bitcoin developer, and that is a terrible move.
Im really disapointed, what can I say...
One very simple thing to avoid that, is to explain why he posted that message in such a way. He was trying to make a joke by simulating a failed impersonation? There had been a bug within the forum? But why Satoshi didn't reply to his post? Why he didn't make a comment about the oddness of the wording? Why he didn't even approve his addition? Personally, I find that a bit strange tbh. Some people claim that Satoshi wasn't a single person but a crew actually, they are maybe right after all.
