Peter Todd revealed as Satoshi on HBO, deadline for Mt. Gox repayment plan extended, and more: Hodler’s Digest, Oct. 6 – 12

Attention all crypto enthusiasts! Here’s the latest roundup of news from the world of cryptocurrencies.

First up, we have some news from Mt. Gox. The defunct crypto exchange has pushed back its deadline for repaying creditors to October 2025. The platform, which handled a massive chunk of all global Bitcoin transactions, faced security breaches and hacks that eventually led to its collapse in 2014, leaving 127,000 users high and dry.

Next, a Nigerian court has denied bail for Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, despite health concerns. The court decided that Gambaryan should remain in prison, even though his health has been deteriorating. It’s a tough situation, but the judge ruled that he should stay behind bars for now.

Turning our attention to the legal world, former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame is set to report to prison after several attempts to delay his sentence. Judge Lewis Kaplan denied his request for a later start date, citing previous delays and Salame’s recent behavior as factors in the decision.

In other news, there’s some buzz around the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics. Economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok have thrown out an “unusual pick” for the prize: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. They believe Buterin’s contributions to monetary economics are worthy of recognition.

And lastly, in a surprising twist, Peter Todd was named as Satoshi Nakamoto in an HBO documentary. However, Todd has denied being Bitcoin’s creator in public statements, so the mystery of the real Satoshi Nakamoto continues.
