For more than 10 years, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto has captured the attention and fascination of cryptocurrency users and the general public around the world.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper on a peer-to-peer electronic cash system became the basis for Bitcoin and has spawned similar projects and developments. However, Nakamoto suddenly disappeared from the spotlight in 2010, leaving many wondering and speculating: Who is Satoshi, and is it true that he is now worth billions of dollars?
Now, the mystery is about to be revealed, and we’re about to meet the person behind the name – well, at least according to PR London Live.
In a press release dated October 30, the PR agency claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto is ready to face the public on October 31.

However, the release and invitation raised some eyebrows and some questions. For example, about 123 people signed up for the “Meet Satoshi” online group that was formed two years ago. Some social media users also questioned the public relations agency’s motives for scheduling the meeting.
One Twitter user/X said that appearing at a public press conference is different from Satoshi. Others were more direct in their comments, saying the planned meeting was fake and inappropriate.
PR London Live: The team behind the planned reunion
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts and social media users immediately checked the background of the PR agency after the press release was published. The agency claims to be a London-based company that publishes important content. However, its official website does not list partners or clients.
The company’s website identifies Charles Anderson as chief content officer and CEO. Interestingly, Anderson claims to be the only person who knows Satoshi Nakamoto now. On LinkedIn, Anderson’s profile indicates that he is Nakamoto’s personal assistant and has hosted “The Big Reveal,” a show aimed at revealing the person behind Bitcoin.
Questionable agency and press release
Social media users quickly commented on the agency’s background, website and press release. For example, some Internet users noticed grammatical and spelling errors on the agency’s website. When some users checked the agency’s official address in London, they discovered it was for a third-party event location listed as a farm in Google Maps.
The agency’s press release was also generated by artificial intelligence, underscoring the suspicious nature of the event. Finally, the Frontline Club, mentioned in the press release, has not announced any official event related to Nakamoto.
