An unknown PR agency that claims to know the true identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto says it will reveal this long-held secret in a press conference on Oct. 31, inviting attendees in London to “Meet Satoshi.”

There are more than a few red flags about the announcement however.

In an Oct. 30 press release, a so-called public relations firm PR London Live says it will reveal the “legal identity” of Nakamoto at the Frontline Club in Paddington, London, on Oct. 31.

“There have been several good reasons to stay under wraps up to now but ..... the experiment is complete. It did not go exactly as intended but overall has been a great success. There is a lot to say and some of it may shock you,” the typo-laden event description for the event reads.

The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been one of the biggest mysteries in crypto, including his disappearance in 2011.

“The time has come for me to officially reveal my identity. I am facing significant legal challenges, and I believe the world deserves the truth,” Nakomoto apparently says in the press release.

However, only 103 people are currently members of the “Meet Satoshi” group on MeetUp, which was created more than 2 years ago.

“Satoshi Nakamoto revealing his identity via a press conference is the least Satoshi thing ever. I’m calling BS,” X user Wayne Vaughn wrote in an Oct. 30 post on X.

Who is behind PR London Live?

Meanwhile, there are questions over what PR London Live is and the team behind it.

PR London Live styles itself as “London’s PR Media platform” that provides a platform for “genuine significant content” but does not list a single client or partner on its website.
