McAfee Now Holds Off With Satoshi Identity Reveal, Says It Can Risk His Extradition

John McAfee recently tweeted that he was aware of Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity, and said that he would soon reveal it. However, a new tweet by McAfee now has him say that he will not reveal the identity of Nakamoto, for fear of being extradited.

John McAfee, ever one to rouse attention, has been teasing the cryptocommunity regarding the identity of Nakamoto, though whether or not he does know the true of identity of Satoshi is up for debate. He has said that finding the bitcoin creator was “a piece of cake.”
