Is Satoshi Nakamoto Len Sassaman? New HBO Satoshi Documentary Fuels Speculation
Cullen Hoback, the director of Q: Into the Storm, an Emmy-nominated documentary that revealed the identity of the person behind the QAnon Conspiracy Theory that rocked 4chan during the 2016 election, has a new HBO documentary that claims to identify Satoshi. It is anticipated by polymarket bettors that the documentary will name Len Sassaman.
Due to his extensive body of published scholarly writings about cryptography, which frequently demonstrated his strong ideological commitment to privacy and decentralization, Sassaman, who committed suicide in 2011 following a battle with depression, is regarded as Satoshi. Given their separate disappearance dates, there is an additional reason to believe Sassaman is Satoshi. Not long after Satoshi ceased posting on BTCTalk, the once-go-to forum for cryptocurrency discussions, Sassaman committed suicide.
Satoshi Unmasked? Dorian Nakamoto Once Falsely Identified as Bitcoin’s Mysterious Creator
This is not the first attempt to identify the anonymous creator of the biggest digital asset in the world.

Nakamoto—was made possible by the publication.
Nakamoto, a naturalized American citizen of Japanese descent who resides in California, meets the majority of the requirements for a possible Satoshi, including having a background in both math and engineering, being reticent, and first refusing to talk about the subject. Nakamoto initially responded to the Newsweek reporter’s questions with, “It’s been turned over to other people,” Nakamoto said to the Newsweek reporter when she first asked, raising suspicions. “I am no longer involved in that, and I cannot discuss it,” he said. At some point, Nakamoto flatly denied being Satoshi through legal counsel.
I did not create, invent or otherwise work on Bitcoin. I unconditionally deny the Newsweek report,
