For over 10 years, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto has captured the attention and fascination of crypto users and the general public around the world.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper on a peer-to-peer electronic cash system became the basis of Bitcoin and has spawned similar projects and developments. However, Nakamoto suddenly disappeared from the limelight in 2010, leaving many to question and speculate: who is Satoshi, and is it true that he’s now worth billions of dollars?
Now, the mystery is about to be unlocked, and we’re about to meet the person behind the name—well, at least according to PR London Live.
In an October 30th press release, the PR agency claims Satoshi Nakamoto is ready to face the public this October 31st.
Organizers Invite Everyone To Meet The Real Satoshi Nakamoto
PR London Live has invited interested individuals to attend the planned meet-up with Satoshi Nakamoto through a press release. According to the agency, the press conference will take place at 11:30 a.m. at the Frontline Club in Paddington.

However, the release and invite have raised some eyebrows and a few questions. For example, around 123 individuals have signed up for the “Meet Satoshi” online group formed two years ago. Also, some social media users have questioned the PR agency’s motivation to schedule the meetup.
One Twitter/X user shared that showing up at a public press conference is unlike Satoshi. Others are more direct in their comments, saying that the planned meet-up is fake and inappropriate.
PR London Live: The Team Behind The Planned Meet-Up
Crypto enthusiasts and social media users immediately checked the PR agency’s background after the press release had been posted. The agency claims to be a London-based firm that publishes significant content. However, its official website doesn’t feature partners or clients.
The company’s site identifies Charles Anderson as its content manager and CEO. Interestingly, Anderson claims he’s the only person who knows Satoshi Nakamoto now. Over at LinkedIn, Anderson’s profile indicates that he’s a personal assistant to Nakamoto and has hosted “The Big Reveal,” a show that aims to reveal the person behind Bitcoin.
A Questionable Agency And Press Release
Social media users quickly commented on the agency’s background, website, and press release. For example, some internet users noticed grammatical and spelling errors on the agency’s website. When some users checked the agency’s official address in London, they discovered it was for a third-party event site listed as a farm lot in Google Maps.
Also, the agency’s press release was AI-generated, further underscoring the suspicious nature of the event. Finally, the Frontline Club, identified in the press release, has not announced any formal event related to Nakamoto.
