Yes, I agree that the fact Peter Todd later referenced his December 2010 post and, even more to the point, that he didn’t delete that post, is exculpatory. As to the fact that he created the Peter Todd account to get an invitation — I think this is the documentary’s argument as well. That is, Todd created an account under his name in 2007 to get an invite. Then, in 2010, he happened to make a post under his Satoshi account and logged out and then, 90 minutes later, logged back in to add a comment, but used the wrong account.

He did not create the account in 2007. He created the account on December 7, 2010, three days before he made the post that HBO picked up on. The creation of the account was clearly tied to purchasing an invitation to the social network Diaspora.

Got it. I stand corrected on the year.
