maybe that's not the only reason john mcafee to stop promoting ico because it's risking his reputation and not all the ico being promoted succeeds because some are failing or slow to develop.

What reputation? His reputation as a scammer and con-artist?

More likely he's just made enough money for now - he was charging $105,000 per tweet. No doubt he'll be back with another shady as hell scheme in a few months when the money runs out again.

You are right, as this is only business and money. I think if mCafee get a higher offer and payment, then he will come back and want to promote ico again.

It's funny like he tries to be all badass and stuff with all the guns at this place, but at the same time he's afraid af of the sec...

Before there were too many crypto enthusiasts that are looking up to him but with his past actions of being a shill, only few believes him now.

There's no reputation that he is longer protecting, it's totally destroyed although there's still hope for him if his prediction about $1,000,000 will happen but no one's believing him with that.

SEC is starting to say all ICOs are securities. But what if a platform is already built and the token is full utility from the beginning?

Most likely this would be the case. We dont know on whats behind on that mask on such reasoning of that dumb ass but rest assured he do already make some serious amounts on crypto-field. I didnt know that he do charge up too much with just promoting or per tweet. Mcafee is famous but int the field of traditional assets and stocks thats why he do made impact when he chill out things. For now he must rest because no one do really believe in him anymore and SEC was just a pure alibi.

Nice to hear that McAfee finally stops with that,  because I think a lot of these promotions were just fake and he got paid for these promotions in the past.. I don't like people who promote project for money, because a lot of people buy in because of that and in the end they lose money..

[nsasuiteb]

Most ICOs scam the newbies in the market and john mcafee promotes those ICOs not to give you a profitable ico but to take your money and sometimes to make profit from the ico itself.

[HellDiverUK]

I think now that he is no longer a good adviser or support ICO, many of the ICO that he supports turned out to be funding less investor interest

[lx001]

I don't know why would anyone pay $100k for his shilling in the first place, I never thought of him as a reputable guy, I would be cautious buying in into his projects. He made his $1M or balls prediction only to become more recognizable in the crypto space, it is not backed by anything. Nobody would talk about him if there were no absurd predictions.

[krauzzer02]

Some nerves to say that he will eat his own thing on national tv or some showy badass things then suddenly he got scared by the SEC for promoting ICO? any links for this thing? he is actually a paid promoter loss for his great earnings each tweet and ads, P&D groups would probably get pissed because they are not getting any tokens to shill from John McAfee.

McAfee is just a big media figure. In theory, his place can take any famous person, somehow connected with the world of cryptocurrencies. There would be a desire and people who will prompt him some good, profitable projects, guaranteed to take profit.

[meikelcoin]

OK. he is finally gone. and I hope he does not come back. he writes only garbage and gets thousands of dollars. Such people are disgusting

[bigcash2011]

I think it is a good decision and most of the icos that he promoted were the ones that he got paid to promote so i think it was somewhat unfair and unethical, for a guy of such statute like Mcafee we do expect him to Be unbiased and neutral always.

[2stout]

But do expect him to bounce back in some other form of schilling/scheming once the heat in the kitchen dies down.

[buytheeffinD]

That is good because he will likely save himself tons of fines by making that statement and or jail time. He is a smart guy despite what everybody thinks, and he is protecting his own bacon by making this move.

[eagleman]

So what if he's going to stop his service to make that much money by advertising a random coin/project?He's too rich and he shouldn't let himself get involve with this thing anymore after losing his credibility.

I think this is the right decision, because he is worried about its freedom. I think that his team is not always can check the ico quality for 101%.
