Todd’s urgent dismissal of the documentary reads to Hoback like an attempt to throw Satoshi-hunters off the scent. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Peter would go on the offense. He’s a master of game theory—it’s what he does. He has spent a lot of years now muddying the waters,” says Hoback. “He’s an unbelievable genius.”

I haven't seen the docu, but I did like his (Hoback's) docu about Qanon, Q: Into the Storm.

Not to mention that this could also endanger this guys life.

Just imagine if you walk on the street and suddenly there's some asshole filming you and bothering you wanting to make a documentary about you. Just leave people the fuck alone.

Privacy exists you know.

It very likely will be. IIRC the Satoshi wallet has a significant amount of coin in it.
