He's currently calling a lot of coins and telling people to buy buy buy. He's obviously hacked so turn of your bots and don't follow his calls for now.

Obv either that or that is the fake account that was made in lieu of these pump and dump calls? Either way stop trying to follow a pump do your research and let your coins pump on their own time.

This guy is a pain in the ass.. i am worried about the people who had their bots turned on when he spreaded the word of this coins. He is a dumb, he was obviously going to get hacked soon because of all the controversial pumps and dumps that he has been doing.

Could be the "officiaI" account where the L is actually an uppercase i. But even the real account is just a cash grabbing pumper that should be shunned along with Palm Beach.

Yes, he just posted on twitter that his account was hacked and twitter notified him that his account was hacked and he said the coins posted as tweets were not from him because he is not going to give anymore coin of the day now he will give coin of the week that he announced yesterday. That is why I recommend all of you to only buy coins which you feel is good and buy with your own research and do not rely on others.

Yeah I agree it could ruin his reputation, he needs to come out an official statement about this, although some of the coin he is posting are indeed good coins to invest nevertheless getting your account hacked is not really good if you are one of the top man in the cyber security world.

Mcafee is just the head of a public pump and dump group. Him and palm beach are the same, ironically - neither are going to name a coin of the month in December, unless McAfee gets his twitter account back and he does his altcoin of the moment tweets

Already confirmed his official account has been hacked. Does the quick tweet affected some pumps?

His tweets made me cringed so hard these past few days and now I know the reason behind his tweets. It is very unethical that a person in his position (a well-known personality in technology and cryptocurrency) started a pump and dump scenario that made so many people lose their money. I just can't believe that he was hacked and somehow it is very ironic that he provide security to other people while he can't protect his own account properly. He should learn a thing or two out of this situation.  Roll Eyes

Yes it did, BAT got pumped pretty hard. But I think people also have bots linked to his calls that auto buy when he says his coin, so I suppose some people lost a lot of money today.

this is really sad for a classmate of john mcafee, we know he works in what field, but why his social media account is so vulnerable to being hacked. if this is true, I think 2x to use the services of its products.

I happened to be on Twitter and witness it all live. After the first couple of Tweets I knew he had been hacked and plus he was talking like a 23 year old. It was crazy. Also crazy. "McAfee" got hacked. You would think he would have decent security.

Hahahha, funny. After fail to predict the coin will goes up and currently now the coin just jump to the deep hole, then now he said that his twitter was hacked? LoL
how if the coin goes up? Then he will said another thing.
Just follow your decision when trading and never because him.

How stupid for those are following mcafee's tweet just give an advice to buy and buy more various altcoin without any explanation about that, basically that's just like telling another to buy shitcoin and then pump it for the hackers. Glad to see the McAfee account has back again.

For those are following it just try to do your own research about that rather than follow the hacker.
But a lot of people are spreading it in here.
