“It’s time for me to officially reveal my identity. I’ve faced serious legal issues, and I believe the world deserves the truth,” Molla stated during the event, adding that he would present proof later.
Molla, an economist and financial scientist, said he had planned to reveal himself as the “creator of Bitcoin” in 2016, but was “prevented from doing so.”
Stephen Molla’s Background
According to The Standard, Stephen Molla is currently facing fraud charges. He is accused of falsely claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto and asserting ownership of 165,000 BTC held in Singapore. Molla allegedly did this to mislead another businessman, exposing him to financial risks.
Molla has pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. His next court hearing is scheduled for November 3, 2025.
As a reminder, prominent Bitcoin developer Peter Todd has been forced into hiding following the release of an HBO documentary that named him as Satoshi Nakamoto.
