I don't wish ill on anyone but I'm glad he's no longer the Bitcoin Evangelist of the moment. When I first became interested in Bitcoin he was, and the truth is he has too much dirty business surrounding him to be a good representative for us.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. McAfee promoted dozens of scam projects, and he charged $105,000 for a single tweet. He made tens of millions of USD (if not hundreds of millions) from these scams.

The guy had this coming when he started to promote shitcoins for money though. He wasn't a saint.
