For his part, Hoback remains confident in his conclusions. The various denials and deflections from Todd, he claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection. “While of course we can’t outright say he is Satoshi, I think that we make a very strong case,” says Hoback.

Then you didn't prove shit. If all you have is a self-described "strong case," then you failed and only succeeded in harassing someone. Prove it, or STFU, instead of going, "Hm, yes. Isn't that suspicious?"

Hoback sees things very differently. Though there have been cases where violent extortionists have targeted crypto holders, plenty of people have been unmasked as Satoshi before—and nothing terrible is known to have happened to them, he argues. “I think the idea that it puts their life [at risk] is a little overblown,” says Hoback.

Yeah, eat shit, you leech. Try to justify it however you want, but you still threw a random stranger to the wolves to make a buck. I hope your balls explode.

Irresponsible and malicious journalism like this is why I have an immediate distrust against any sort of reporter that tries to talk to me. Probably irrational but still.

I hope your balls explode.

I wish him the very same.

Just sounds like HBO harassed some random dude with no real evidence. Calling that forum post “finishing his sentences” is conspiracy bullshit.

Hopefully if they continue to make claims they have a better argument to bring to the table.
