The next "Satoshi Nakamoto" from London has been found, already nicknamed "Feiktoshi."

On October 31, a new attempt to unveil the identity of the creator of the blockchain and cryptocurrency Bitcoin took place in London. An individual who was previously unknown to the public gathered numerous journalists to publicly assert his authorship and provide evidence that he is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the Genesis Block — the first block in the Bitcoin network. If authenticated, this would mark one of the biggest sensations in the cryptocurrency world.

For over a decade, efforts have been made to uncover the person (or persons) behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The latest attempt occurred during the filming of an HBO documentary titled Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, after which 39-year-old Canadian software developer Peter Todd had a falling out with the film's director Cullen Hoback and the publication Wired. The conflict arose when the developer was referred to as Satoshi Nakamoto, and in the latter case, when the online magazine claimed that Todd had gone underground due to the film's release.

At the Halloween conference, a businessman named Steven Mollah, dressed in a plaid blazer, camouflage pants, and hiking boots, made a bold statement: "I am Satoshi Nakamoto. There is no other person who invented Bitcoin."

Mollah claimed he adopted this pseudonym back in 2007 and now chose to reveal his true identity. However, the demonstration of evidence never materialized: the laptop containing the "evidence" malfunctioned, and Steven and his promoter Charles Anderson were unable to connect to the internet. All they presented were low-quality screenshots of old forum posts from Bitcoin dating back to 2008-2009.

Mollah also asserted that the keys to his BTC are spread across eight computers worldwide, and mysterious hackers are constantly trying to prevent him from accessing this treasure.

When journalists asked Mollah to define Bitcoin, he replied: "It's electronic money. A digital currency."

*The curtain falls*

However, the previously unknown Mr. Steven Mollah did achieve some notoriety. In the online realm, he is now more commonly known as Faketoshi.
