John McAfee and Craig Wright are currently at war against each other, and neither of them seems to be backing away. They both have been fighting on social media, and haven’t minced their words.
On Friday, McAfee tweeted that Craig Wright has called him a scam artist, and stated that he would soon be unmasked.
Craig Wright – the Satoshi pretender soon to be unmasked, has called me a scam artist. I take no heed because Craig is no better judge of a man than he is a specimen of one.

It all started months ago, when Craig Wright claimed that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and John McAfee was among the firsts to reject it. This probably annoyed Wright, and he began sending legal notices to his critics, including McAfee. The entire crypto community and the likes of CZ of Binance criticized Wright’s actions. This even saw Bitcoin SV, Wright’s brainchild, getting delisted from major exchanges including Binance, Kraken, Huobi, etc.
To take another jibe of Wright, McAfee sarcastically claimed that he was Craig Wright and that he could prove it. He also stated that he would sue soon for impersonating him.
I am the real Craig Wright. I can prove it. Absolutely. I'm filing a patent on my existence as Craig Wright. I can prove I am him at a finger's snap. But I'm not going to. You must simply believe me. I will be suing Craig, soon, for impersonating me. Unlike me, he is serveable.

The war between the two computer scientist and big crypto influencers doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. In a recent event in Toronto, Wright accused many of his critics, including Binance and Tether, of sponsoring prostitution, and slavery. All of these claims, however, had no factual backing and were laughed.
