又一名男子自稱是比特幣創造者中本聰

另一名男子站出來聲稱自己是比特幣背後的神秘創造者中本聰。這次，他叫史蒂芬·莫拉。

Another man has come forward claiming to be the mysterious creator behind Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. This time, he’s called Stephen Mollah.

另一名男子站出來聲稱自己是比特幣背後的神秘創造者中本聰。這次，他叫史蒂芬·莫拉。

Taking to the stage at London’s Front Line Club in front of around a dozen journalists, Mollah made the claim with one journalist calling it an “odd set up.”

莫拉在倫敦前線俱樂部的舞台上，在十幾名記者面前做出了這一說法，其中一名記者稱其為「奇怪的安排」。

Live tweeting the event on X, Joe Tidy, a BBC journalist, said: “An odd set up to the press conference as the organiser asked me to pay £500 to attend and appear on stage to ask questions of the billionaire mystery man.”

BBC 記者喬·蒂迪(Joe Tidy) 在X 上現場發推文表示：「這次新聞發布會的安排很奇怪，組織者要求我支付500 英鎊參加並出現在舞台上向這位億萬富翁神秘人提問。

我正在參加倫敦的活動，該活動被宣傳為「揭曉比特幣發明者中本聰的真實合法身分」。新聞發布會的安排很奇怪，組織者要求我支付 500 英鎊參加並上台向這位億萬富翁神秘人提問。 pic.twitter.com/3oTB6qX20U

According to Mollah, he’s claimed he’s Nakamoto before, is currently in a legal dispute about it, and is now ready to provide evidence. He tried to reveal who he was in 2016, but “someone stopped him.”

據莫拉稱，他之前聲稱自己是中本聰，目前正就此陷入法律糾紛，現在準備提供證據。 2016 年，他試圖透露自己的身份，但「有人阻止了他」。

After an hour of listening to Mollah’s backstory, he failed to provide evidence. Instead, he supplied a series of screenshots that could have easily been faked. When Mollah was asked to move some of the Genesis Bitcoin, he said he would in the ‘next few months.’

在聽了莫拉一個小時的背景故事後，他未能提出證據。相反，他提供了一系列很容易偽造的螢幕截圖。當 Mollah 被要求轉移部分創世比特幣時，他說他會在「未來幾個月」內轉移。

Mollah and Charles Anderson, the event organizer, were accused of fraud when Mollah posed as Nakamoto between November 2022 and October last year. The pair pleaded not guilty at a hearing last month, The Standard reports.

Mollah 和活動組織者查爾斯·安德森 (Charles Anderson) 在 2022 年 11 月至去年 10 月期間冒充中本聰時被指控欺詐。根據《標準報》報道，兩人在上個月的聽證會上表示不認罪。

Another one to the list

名單上還有一個

Mollah joins a growing list of people who have claimed to be Nakamoto or others believe them to be.

莫拉加入了越來越多自稱是中本聰或其他人認為是中本聰的人行列。

Last month, the HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery wrongly named Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd as Nakamoto. Before the big reveal, the documentary also pointed to Blockstream founder Adam Back.

上個月，HBO 紀錄片《Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery》錯誤地將比特幣核心開發者 Peter Todd 命名為中本聰。在大揭密之前，紀錄片也提到了 Blockstream 創辦人 Adam Back。

Following the documentary, Todd said he’d been forced underground over fears for his safety.

紀錄片結束後，托德表示，由於擔心自己的安全，他被迫轉入地下。

Others believed to be Nakamoto include late software engineer Hal Finney and computer scientist Nick Szabo.

其他被認為是中本聰的人包括已故軟體工程師哈爾·芬尼和電腦科學家尼克·薩博。

In May, a UK High Court ruled against Australian Craigt Wright that he was Nakamoto, arguing that Wright had lied “extensively and repeatedly” throughout the trial, further accusing him of presenting “fabricated” evidence to support his claims.

今年5月，英國高等法院裁定澳洲人克雷格·賴特(Craigt Wright)就是中本聰，稱他是中本聰，認為賴特在整個審判過程中「廣泛且多次」撒謊，並進一步指控他提供「捏造」的證據來支持自己的主張。
