A press release that circulated yesterday demonstrated one more time that there is nothing the mainstream media loves more than a crazy person who claims to have created bitcoin.

In honor of White Paper Day, the latest event, billed as the reveal of Satoshi Nakamoto's “legal identity,” attracted a who's who of the press, including the BBC, which was embroiled in the Craig Wright scandal. in 2016. (Wright was later considered legally technology/2024/mar/14/australian-craig-wright-not-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-high-court-rules#:%7e:text=For%20over%20eight%20years%2C%20Dr,Wright%20is%20not%20Satoshi%20Nakamoto.%E2%80%9D”>not to be satoshi.)
Even that burn didn't stop its reporters from interviewing the latest man to claim, without evidence, that he created bitcoin.
This time, our fake Satoshi is Stephan Mollah.
No, this is not the first time Mollah has pulled this trick. He sued cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase All year 2021, claiming that his company name was stolen, and at that time he said that Satoshi Nakamoto was his pseudonym and his true identity.
In short, the claim was so extravagant that even an online research company which Mollah uses as a way to advertise the effectiveness of his software.

“I created bitcoin technology, but I'm not happy with it,” Mollah said. “I have proof of all that, but I'm here to make the statement.”
Mollah promised to reveal the true details at a later date, finally showing the event for what it was: the announcement of a false announcement.
Still, after all the fuss over the HBO documentary, which went to great lengths to fake a convincing Satoshi reveal earlier this month, I have to say that Mollah is somewhat refreshing.
This is really what all Satoshi Nakamoto reveals should be: total sideshows, devoid of any reasonable intrigue. Hopefully, if we get enough of this, we'll convince the media to end their fruitless search for Satoshi's true identity.
