Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator (arstechnica.com)

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.

Unless somebody can "predict" (e.g. announce before executing) movement of coins from verified Satoshi wallets, I won't believe any of these unmaskings.

I would love to know who Satoshi is, but that level of proof would require a willing Satoshi and they (singular or plural) appear to not be up for that.

Has there been any movement from those wallets in the years since Satoshi went dark?
