According to Hoback, Satoshi is software developer Peter Todd.
Todd has repeatedly said he isnt Satoshi and the cryptocurrency community has roundly rejected the theory.
Todd is a bit of a trickster and a troll.

Others in the film described him as a contrarian.

Todd replies to the thread, correcting Satoshi on a technical issue.
For Hoback, it seems that Todd is finishing a thought that Satoshi began.
Someone who had just created an account and had never posted about Bitcoin before, was finishing Satoshis sentences?
Hoback says in the documentary.
Todd was in school at the time.
Bitcoin was written in C++.
When confronted with this evidence at the end of the film, Todd laughs it off.
So yeah, yeah.
Ill say of course Im Satoshi, he says.
The cryptocurrency community has firmly rejected the theory.
In the film, Bitcoin ambassador Samson Mow says Peter was ruled out a long time ago.
Hoback says suggesting Todd is Satoshi would get you laughed off of every major Bitcoin forum in the world.
The morning after the documentary aired, thats indeed whats happening.
