PANews reported on November 1 that according to Cointelegraph, the latest "Satoshi Nakamoto" identity was exposed and became a laughing stock. At the Satoshi Nakamoto identity unveiling event at the Frontline Club in Paddington, London, a man named Stephen Mollah, wearing a colorful headscarf, camouflage pants, a black suit, and a long gray beard, became the latest person to claim that he invented Bitcoin.
The event attracted a dozen journalists and required attendees to pay $644 (£500) each. Mollah described himself as a "businessman doing business" and an economic and monetary scientist before claiming to be Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. Mollah also claimed to have invented the Twitter logo, Eurobonds and the "ChatGPT protocol". But when asked to provide evidence for his claims, Mollah failed to produce a convincing proof. BBC News reporter Joe Tidy asked Mollah to transfer Satoshi Nakamoto's famous "Genesis Coin" live on stage, but Mollah claimed that he did not have the keys to those early Bitcoin wallets, which were divided into eight parts and stored on eight computers around the world. He also said that there were groups tracking him and trying to hack his devices to obtain huge amounts of cryptocurrency.
