During the last 13 years, a great number of individuals have claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin, but no single person has been able to prove this to the greater crypto community. At the end of August 2019, a marketing and public relations (PR) agency published a press release that featured a man from Pakistan who claimed he invented Bitcoin. While the Pakistani Bilal Khalid provided no proof, the public relations agency’s founder recently published a book called “Finding Satoshi: The Real Story Behind Mysterious Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto.”

Almost three years ago in August 2019, the cryptocurrency community was introduced to a man named Bilal Khalid and a PR agency called Ivy McLemore & Associates. Also known as James Caan James Bilal Caan HTML2, the Pakistani Bilal Khalid can also be referred to by HTML2_. At the time in 2019, Khalid released a three-part blog post on the web portal satoshinrh.com called “My Reveal.” In part one, Khalid claims to share “unknown facts about the creation of Bitcoin,” and some of the “developments” that led to his departure. The PR agency Ivy McLemore & Associates helped Khalid to reveal the truth. They tweeted about the event and contacted journalists with the information.

Part two features information from Khalid about how he claims to have invented Bitcoin. He also shares details about the Chaldean numerology which influenced his decisions when creating the software. Part two also reveals details about the alleged BTC Satoshi Nakamoto mined, and Khalid claims to “reveal all facts related to my 980,000 bitcoins.” In part three, Khalid reveals his true identity and he explains that all the coins he mined were on one computer. According to Khalid, Khalid used a Fujitsu laptop with military-grade encryption .

An account of the story published in November 2019 says that one evening, the self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor says he turned on the Fujitsu laptop that ostensibly contained 980K BTC, and all it would show was a blank screen. Khalid didn’t believe it was a hard disk issue, so he sent the laptop to the repair center. The repair company explained that the hard drive was the problem and that there was no way to fix it.

Following the press releases and tweets published by Ivy McLemore, the aforementioned account of the story published in November 2019 was the public relations agency’s last tweet up until June 1, 2022. Ivy McLemore’s tweet on Khalid has to do only with sports and not with Khalid’s story. However, this month Ivy McLemore, the founder of the marketing and public relations agency, published a book called “Finding Satoshi: The Real Story Behind Mysterious Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto.” The book’s Amazon description does not mention Khalid by name but states:

The book gives readers the unique opportunity to join a reporter on the search of a lifetime for the creator of the world’s best-performing investment. It looks at 40 candidates and leads to a little-known, under-the-radar suspect with stunning, previously untold secrets only Bitcoin’s creator could know.

Book Description Claims ‘Finding Satoshi’ Gives Readers 42 Specific Points to Ponder

According to the Amazon book description, readers will learn “why he left encryptions in names, dates, and other Bitcoin milestones,” and “his ethnic background and country of residence.” The book description further claims to detail “why his bitcoins once worth $68 billion haven’t moved” and “why he waited eight years to tell his wife he’s Satoshi.” Ivy McLemore’s story says “Nakamoto is invaluable to society because of the specialized knowledge he could share with future generations.” The “Finding Satoshi” book description adds:

Regardless what you believe about Satoshi’s real-life identity, Finding Satoshi gives readers 42 specific points to ponder.

Over the years, there’s been many claimants that have said they are Satoshi Nakamoto, but in more recent times claims like these have subsided. Prior to 2020, individuals like the Hawaiian Nakamoto, Phil Wilson ‘Scronty,’ Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido, and Jorg Molt have all claimed to be Bitcoin’s inventor. No one has heard from the Hawaiian Nakamoto, both Scronty and Debo continued to tweet about Bitcoin’s origins, and Jorg Molt was recently arrested for an alleged crypto pension fraud. Khalid’s story was forgotten by most crypto communities until recently. He couldn’t provide any evidence to support his claims.
