Recently Chepicap reported that John McAfee was announcing on twitter that not only is Craig Wright not Satoshi Nakamoto, but also that McAfee himself knows the identity of this man. He has now doubled down, promising to ultimately reveal the identity of Satoshi, if he will not come forward on his own.

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.

This tweet was very shortly followed by another:

I protected the identity of Satoshi. It's time, though, that this be put to bed. Imposters claim to be him, we are spending time and energy in search of him - It's a waste. Every day I will narrow down the identity of Satoshi until he reveals himself, or I reveal him.

It didn't take long for the voices on crypto twitter to respond, and while many were supportive, many others were upset. This led to this next tweet not long after:

Wow!! Im getting flack for forcing Satoshi into the open. Please see: the "not knowing" is allowing people to falsely claim the title. This wreaks havoc. For example: Craig Wright's fake claim to be Satoshi is fully responsible for the BSV scam which hurt us all.

And one more, where McAfee defends how he knows this information:

How do I know about Satoshi?

Yes, I drink, use drugs, chase women, run from the law - which I have done since I was 19. But it does not obviate the fact that I created a great company whose focus was stopping hackers. I had to know hacking. I am still John Fucking McAfee,

Some of the flak he received was people asking if it was right for McAfee to out someone who wanted to remain anonymous:

Is it in our best interests?

— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) April 17, 2019

Others feel that Satoshi's anonymity is essential to Bitcoin:

Satoshi is anonymous on purpose. One of the reasons may be that the more Faketoshis that come forward, the more Satoshi's point is proven, that trustlessless is imperative.

Of course, some were completely on board and just want the whole thing out in the open:

John, you are the man! Obviously many people know his identity and all the agencies too. Why should the normal people be excluded from the truth? Please, end the speculations.
