Many have tried to break through the myth surrounding the anonymous identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. A well-known example is the Australian businessman Craig Wright, who has been calling for years to be the man behind bitcoin. And now another person has appeared who claims to be Satoshi, the German Jörg Molt.
Satoshi or scammer?
In their own words, Molt is the “co-founder” of bitcoin, and not necessarily Satoshi. On his LinkedIn page it says that he has been doing that since 1994. Molt also claims that he has 250,000 bitcoin.
But the bitcoin community does not believe that. Molt has been photographed with Andreas Antonopoulos, and that did not work out well for him. Antonopoulos via Twitter: “Apparently there is a German person named Jörg Molt who shows this selfie and tells people that we are friends. That’s a lie. I don’t know him at all. “
He continues: “I also heard from others that he claims to be the co-founder of bitcoin and that he owns thousands of bitcoins. That is also a lie. “

This is a LIE. I don’t know him at all.
