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

另一位男子站出来声称自己是比特币背后的神秘创造者中本聪。这次，他叫斯蒂芬·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.”

莫拉在伦敦前线俱乐部的舞台上，在十几名记者面前做出了这一说法，其中一名记者称其为“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 记者乔·蒂迪 (Joe Tidy) 在 X 上现场发推文表示：“这次新闻发布会的安排很奇怪，组织者要求我支付 500 英镑参加并出现在舞台上向这位亿万富翁神秘人提问。”

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.”

据莫拉称，他之前声称自己是中本聪，目前正就此陷入法律纠纷，现在准备提供证据。 2016 年，他试图透露自己的身份，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.’

在听了莫拉一个小时的背景故事后，他未能提供证据。相反，他提供了一系列很容易伪造的屏幕截图。当 Mollah 被要求转移部分创世比特币时，他说他会在“未来几个月”内转移。

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 和活动组织者查尔斯·安德森 (Charles Anderson) 在 2022 年 11 月至去年 10 月期间冒充中本聪时被指控欺诈。据《标准报》报道，两人在上个月的听证会上表示不认罪。

Another one to the list

名单上还有一个

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

莫拉加入了越来越多自称是中本聪或其他人认为是中本聪的人行列。

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.

上个月，HBO 纪录片《Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery》错误地将比特币核心开发者 Peter Todd 命名为中本聪。在大揭秘之前，纪录片还提到了 Blockstream 创始人 Adam Back。

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

纪录片结束后，托德表示，由于担心自己的安全，他被迫转入地下。

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

其他被认为是中本聪的人包括已故软件工程师哈尔·芬尼和计算机科学家尼克·萨博。

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，英国高等法院裁定澳大利亚人克雷格·赖特(Craigt Wright)就是中本聪，称他是中本聪，认为赖特在整个审判过程中“广泛且多次”撒谎，并进一步指控他提供“捏造”的证据来支持自己的主张。
