Peter Todd has strongly denied the claims, claiming that the documentary's director, Cullen Hoback, was "grasping for straws" when he made them. Despite the fact that the movie shows circumstantial evidence, such as Todd's early involvement in cryptography and some language similarities between forum comments, many in the crypto community have critiqued it for being overly speculational and lacking in concrete proof. https://cointelegraph.com/news/hbo-documentary-peter-todd-satoshi-nakamoto

its "ludicrous" and implying that the filmmakers cared more about creating a dramatic story than finding out the truth, Todd has responded to the claims in a light-hearted manner.
