......For me personally, there is nothing in the whole story that was not already known before, because in the end all the so-called evidence are just assumptions. In my opinion, Adam Back is a much bigger candidate for Satoshi than Peter Todd, who was around 15 years old when Bitcoin was invented.

You got that a bit wrong. Peter was 15 years old when he wrote to Adam in 2001. Bitcoin was invented in 2009 when Peter was 23 years old. Looks like they both are Satoshi

Thanks for the correction, I didn't check online and apparently got it wrong while watching the documentary. All things considered, Peter Todd had quite enough time to "invent" Bitcoin, especially if he had an experienced mentor like Adam Back as an advisor.

Still, maybe it's better that Peter Todd isn't Satoshi, the more you dig into his past, the more unpleasant things you find.

Publicly filed court documents have now revealed specific allegations of sexual misconduct involving former Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd. Todd sued transgender cryptographer Isis Agora Lovecruft for defamation in a California court in April, demanding they delete a tweet calling Todd a "rapist." This week, Lovecruft moved to dismiss the complaint, and both Lovecruft and zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox filed declarations in court describing Todd’s alleged behavior. In their declaration, Lovecruft accused Todd of sexual harassment, including unwelcome and violent sexual statements during consulting work on a bitcoin project. According to Lovecruft’s filed declaration, Todd told Lovecruft in a San Francisco cafe, “I’m going to shove my cock in you so hard and beat you until you beg for more.”
