McAfee Won’t Reveal Satoshi Nakamoto’s Identity
We had previously reported that John McAfee Promises To Reveal The Identity of Real Satoshi Nakamoto. However, it seems like that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.
McAfee, took to Twitter to explain why he has made up his mind about protecting the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto at this time.
The US extradition request to the Bahamas is imminent. I met with Mario Gray, my extradition lawyer, and it is now clear (read his letter below) that releasing the identity of Satoshi at this time could influence the trial and risk my extradition. I cannot risk that. I'll wait. pic.twitter.com/l8lTjR6fQM

A lot of Twitter users have claimed that the letterhead is from 1967, and that this story is not true. This seems likely considering just few days ago, McAfee had tweeted the following, promising to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The "Who is Satoshi?" Mystery must end! First: It is NOT the CIA nor any agency of any world government. It IS a collection of people, but the white paper was written by one man, who currentky resides in the US. If he does not come forward these narrowings will continue.

‘I’ve spoken with him, and he is not a happy camper about my attempt to out him…’, McAfee said to Bloomberg. If indeed McAfee has spoken to Nakamoto, then it is clear that as of now, revealing Nakamoto’s identity is not an option for McAfee.
With the ongoing debacle regarding Craig Wright’s claims that he is Nakamoto, things have been quite chaotic on social media for a while. With the news that Craig Wright Is Ready To Testify Under Oath To Prove He is Satoshi Nakamoto, the truth has become even more murky.
We now need to wait and see how this entire even unfolds in the future.
