John Mcafee may have just revealed that he is among a few “adherents” who possess knowledge of the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto….  

Questions surrounding the true identity of Bitcoin’s enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto have once again arisen, emanating from Craig Wright’s dogged reiteration that he is the father of cryptocurrencies, a claim which is highly disputed by many within the crypto community, who gave Wright his popular nickname: “Faketoshi.”

The recent myriad of accusations of libel originating from Wright’s camp has aimed to silence his detectors. However, these threats of litigation have, for the most part, only stirred up more to query the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

John McAfee is among those people, claiming that the real Nakamoto is actually known to  “dozen adherents,” adding that he is adamant that Satoshi is “100% NOT Craig Wright.”

Enough is enough! There at least a dozen crypto adherents who know the true identity of Satoshi. I can assure you, 100%, it is NOT Craig Wright. This absurd claim of Craig's is incomprehensible. Mr wright: Have you no shame? Seriously sir! Have you no shame?

As for whether McAfee knows himself?

Please. Get real. Satoshi has remained anonymous all these years and you expect someone to just tell you??? Surely that was not a serious statement.

He remained fairly tight-lipped on that, although, the Security magnate has made similar statements on Craig Wright’s claim the past.

As reported back in November last year, McAfee provided his obstinate belief that “the real Satoshi is not Craig Wright”

Craig Wright claims to be the real Satoshi. He says this believing that no-one knows the truth. He is wrong. I tell you now - the real Satoshi is not Craig Wright.

Again, whether this was an admission of knowledge to Nakamoto’s true identity or not remains to be seen. However, when challenged, McAfee replied:

There is nothing I cannot find out. Google me.
