John McAfee says he knows who Satoshi is and it's time for him to stand up or McAfee will out him...
McAfee took to Twitter today to reveal that he knows the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a tweet he said this:
"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."

How does he know who Satoshi really is?
Well, according to John, it has to do with his hacking skills...
In a tweet he revealed:
"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."

Ok, so he was supposedly able to figure out who Satoshi was by his computer hacking skills...
Plausible, but not likely.
So, who is Satoshi exactly?
McAfee reveals exactly who he is not...
According to McAfee, he's not the CIA or a government organization.
"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 currently resides in the US. If he does not come forward these narrowings will continue."

According to McAfee, it's a collection of people...
