As a seasoned investigative journalist with years of experience covering the cryptocurrency scene, I must admit that the press conference held by Stephen Mollah left me feeling more bewildered than enlightened. The claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto have been made before by this individual, and yet, each time, the evidence presented falls short of convincing.
On Thursday, a man from London declared himself to be the legendary figure behind Bitcoin‘s creation – Satoshi Nakamoto – during a press conference. However, the announcement fell flat as he was unable to provide any substantial proof to back up his assertions.
As a crypto investor myself, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the recent claim by British businessman Stephen Mollah that he is the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. At a press conference held at The Frontline Club in London last Thursday, Mollah made this bold assertion. However, from the accounts of journalists who were present, it seems that he failed to provide any substantial evidence to back up his claims. Instead, he engaged in rather extravagant talk about being a “billionaire monetary scientist.” As an investor, I find myself skeptical and eagerly waiting for more tangible proof before accepting such claims.
A fellow named Stephen Mollah stepped up onto the platform. He asserts that he is the enigmatic figure, Satoshi Nakamoto – the creator behind Bitcoin. Previously, he’s made this claim and is currently embroiled in a legal battle over it. Now, according to him, he intends to present evidence for his assertion.

Journalists received invitations to attend a conference, as a PR announcement about a person claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto went viral on social media. The conference is scheduled for October 31, which commemorates the 16th anniversary since Satoshi Nakamoto first published the Bitcoin white paper.
Initially, the conference faced technical issues when the laptops of the organizers malfunctioned, causing a delay and necessitating an offline setup, as reported by BBC Cyber Journalist Joe Tidy. Later on, Mollah shared his personal experiences and journey over the past hour. Upon request for evidence, he presented some screenshots to validate his statements.
On various platforms such as X and other social media outlets, several influencers and journalists have expressed doubts about an individual’s actions due to a press conference that reportedly requested £500 from attendees, which has raised suspicions of potential fraud.
The dubious press conference in London comes in the wake of a recent HBO documentary claiming developer Peter Todd as a possible creator of Bitcoin. Todd has denied all allegations of him being Satoshi Nakamoto.
