Notability

Right now, all of the sources for this article are about the 2024 doc Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery by Cullen Hoback. Todd is arguably a WP:BLP1E.

There is also this Verge article from 2019 about accusations of sexual assault. This is the only reliable source for this I have seen. Per a bunch of unreliable crypto sources, the accompanying defamation and SLAPP lawsuits were settled.

If this can be included in a way which satisfies WP:BLP and WP:NOTGOSSIP, it would go towards meeting notability guidelines. Is there any other reason he's notable? Otherwise, this could be more easily summarized at the Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery article. Grayfell (talk) 21:43, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual misconduct

@Grayfell: The allegations are a matter of public record as seen in the report by The Verge (who covered it as part of the more high profile Jacob Applebaum case).The content that was added by me can be condensed but the case has indeed received much media coverage including after the Bitcoin documentary (e.g. [1], [2]) which should address any BLP issues. No mention of this would appear to an obvious ommission. Gotitbro (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
