Self proclaimed “crypto visionary” and software tycoon John McAfee is known for promoting initial coin offerings (ICOs) for a hefty fee. However, whether McAfee is doing his own research before endorsing a project has most recently been brought into question on Twitter, where one of promoted ICOs seemed to be copying another project.

Most recently, McAfee tweeted his support for the so-called Pink Taxi.

And even though the purpose of the project seems noble and focused on solving a very real and present danger in modern society, it would seem they are not so original after all.

A team member of a Lithuania-based A2B Taxi Token project, launched last year by a local taxi company Amber Vilnius, came forward on Twitter to say that the McAfee-endorsed project has copied theirs: “This ICO fully copied our ICO website, Onepager, visuals and was even using our video until yesterday,” asking him as an adviser to comment on that.

The fact that McAfee charges huge advertising fees to promote its social media accounts is a fact known to everyone in the industry. Let's not believe too much what these celebrities have said. They will not be held responsible for our losses.
