the guy still has a reputation
He doesn't. No one with any sense listens to a word McAfee says. The only people following him are newbies chasing "get rich quick" schemes and falling for his scams.
his anti virus is his recommendation
It's not his. He was kicked out of the McAfee company in 1994. Everything since then has nothing to do with him.
Some things to add.
Not only has he zero connections other than the name with the current antivirus but also almost all of his other ventures ended as bad as they could, his net worth dropped from over a hundred million to some 2-4 according to Forbes, all his attempts after the 08 crisis never even materialized, he is all talk.
And right now the only anti"virus" he would be able to recommend would be a HPV shot.
TBH, I may be wrong, but it's probably a situation where the guys at
https://arbitraging.co/ sent an email to the McAfee team saying they would run/setup everything, give him 50% and just wanted his name. I wouldn't touch this.
It's 100% the case.
The guy has admitted he has shilled for various projects for money already, he is simply selling his name for any crap project as long as he gets paid for.
