Calm down and see the twitter of XVGWhale (do you know him ) who considered himself the representative of the Verge in most recent days.
He tweeted on 2/1/2018 and after this post he changed the name of the twitter into Peter Galanko and deleted all past post including his image with JohnMcAffee.
"The reason McAfee wanted the amount of $XVG he asked for is because he knows the future is dead and it wouldn't be worth shilling without compensation from the team."
If you have followed XVG info in 3 weeks, you will understand my words.

P/S: I just want to pubicize the info here, the truth always is the truth and you have the right to decide your life
