Andreas Antonopoulos: Jorg Molt (Claims He’s Satoshi) Is Not My Friend or the Bitcoin Creator

Andreas Antonopoulos is one of the most reputable names in the cryptocurrency industry, exposing the truth amongst the lies. Author of multiple books on Bitcoin, he recently posted to Twitter about some drama that he’s been tied up in, as a man who calls himself Jorg Molt is now claiming that the two are friends. Antonopoulos took to Twitter to refute the claim that they are friends, and to shed life on another claim – that Jorg Molt (real name Jörg Örtl, born in 1971 in Germany) says he’s Satoshi Nakamoto.

Apparently, a German person called "Jorg Molt" has been showing a selfie taken with me and telling people that we are friends

This is a LIE. I don't know him at all.

I have heard from others that he claims to be the founder of Bitcoin and has thousands of BTC. A LIE. pic.twitter.com/Bh97AZfvS5

“Apparently, a German person called “Jorg Molt” has been showing a selfie taken with me and telling people that we are friends

This is a LIE. I don’t know him at all.

I have heard from others that he claims to be the founder of Bitcoin and has thousands of BTC. A LIE.

If you are a conference organizer, you need to be very skeptical of these claims and avoid putting people like this on stage.

If you are approached by Jorg Molt and told he is my friend, or shown other photos to create fake association, walk away. Then warn others.

If you are asked to invest or give Jorg Molt money, be very very careful. This person has lied before and will likely be lying to you again. There are many SCAMMERS in this space – always be skeptical about claims made by strangers

Many of the people who have read my books or attended a university course or seminar where I teach, want to take a photo. I always say yes. It doesn’t mean I know them. I will not stop taking photos with my readers and students because of a few scammers taking advantage

If you try to use my reputation to boost your reputation fraudulently, I will use my reputation to reveal your fraud.”

Through the thread, Antonopoulos says that anyone who is told by Jorg Molt that they are friends or have a business together should “walk away” and then warn anyone else. He states that the individual has lied in the past about his monetary investments, using this as an opportunity to warn other consumers in this industry to “be skeptical.”

In subsequent posts, Antonopoulos reveals that this is hardly the first time that this Jorg Molt has connect the publish. In fact, many aliases are used to describe him, including Jörg Molt, Jörg Örtl, and Nakamoto.

A lot more information about the infamous "Jorg Molt" who apparently has many aliases/names and has left a trail of scams in his wake. https://t.co/3H1PtMe3hw

This individual has a string of lies that he tells people, including that he was in Germany’s secret service and that he’s one of the founders of Bitcoin, making him a Bitcoin millionaire. Instead, this man doesn’t have an education, isn’t part of a skilled professional, and doesn’t know anything about coding or hacking. Instead, he allegedly is known for tricking women in order to steal their money.

(warning expletive language)

Considering that he’s already posted pictures of Antonopoulos and himself together, it is hard to believe that others aren’t out there. Consumers that decide to get involved in any investment, cryptocurrency or otherwise, should heed Antonopoulos’ advice – “always be skeptical about claims made by strangers.”
