Not much is known about Nakamoto, a pseudonym that is believed to refer to a person or group of people. In 2008, Nakamoto wrote the white paper outlining bitcoin.
“In recent days, McAfee has been threatening on Twitter to out Nakamoto, saying that he’s a man living in the U.S. McAfee has said that he will take the step unless Nakamoto comes forward voluntarily,” Japan Times reported.

Others have tried to out Nakamoto before. “In a 2014 cover story, Newsweek identified the real Nakamoto as a California physicist, who denied the report. In a 2016 blog post and interviews with three media outlets, Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright had said that he is Nakamoto,” Japan Times reported.
