get any advise from a single trader but only believe the name of the dick eater. When his prediction is as good as his platform it isnt worth the effort. https://bircoin.top

Seems like he's actively promoting 'his' exchange on Twitter. He did this with the Bitfi wallet too. Promoted it all over Twitter, Facebook, etc., as "his" unhackable wallet, personally challenged hackers to attack it, said he was using it for all his coins, testimonials from him on the website, the full works. Seems like he has since moved on, and who ever has been left in charge of Bitfi, likely trying to recuperate some of the losses, is now trying to distance themselves from him as much as possible. Their FAQ even says the whole thing was just a media lie, which is laughable when the tweets from McAfee still exist and can be read by anyone. No doubt this will end the same way. If there are any serious people behind this exchange, they will migrate it to a new name and a new URL when it inevitably fails because no one with any sense will touch anything with McAfee's name on it.

Not to mention that the government might pursue after platforms/companies that McAfee is affiliated with, if ever he gets caught. I checked the Apollo project's team page, and McAfee isn't in it, even though McAfee is supposed to be their chairman. It's the right move though, if they don't want the government on their asses.

The website is down for me too, but even it goes online again I'll stay away, I don't consider him trustworthy enough to run anything more than an altcoin bounty campaign...
https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1138948603232305153According to him the site has been hacked, Lol. But I don't know if this is true or not, we all know how good John is for shilling and hyping anything. So I doubt his hack scenario. Anyways, I'm with the community here, he is not to be trusted because his personality is shady as f**k.

According to him the site has been hacked, Lol. Haha, you expect nothing and he manages to fall short. Amazing. Since it's finally now up and running, I've had a bit of a poke about. Even ignoring the '90s Geocities template feel to it and the spelling and grammar mistakes throughout, it looks horrendous. The fee is $100 a year for a basic account, which also charges $1 PER TRADE, or $1,000 a year for an "All Inclusive" account to let you make "free" trades. Bear in mind that all it is doing is collecting APIs from various exchanges in to one place, so on top of that, you will still be paying the individual exchange's trading fees. You are essentially paying $1,000 a year to save you from having to open two or three windows at a time.

The website is clearly terribly made, It was done with a minimum effort with clearly no front end developer. And is this meant to be something similar to Coinigy? Honestly, I don't blame him as much as I blame the people who trust him... He's been advertising/tweeting about services and coins since long and it always ends up badly for everyone but him so I don't understand why people are still listening to anything he says because he clearly only cares about his own benefit.

Even back-end developer or beginner can do better by grab MIT-licensed web template. Their website also missing few important pages such as About, Contact Us and Legal, mobile support isn't exist. I have serious doubt about security of their websites/server

(Sarcasm inserted). $1000/year or simply $2.7 daily for 365 days Why would someone need to pay it up? Opening windows one at a time not costing too much effort. Poorly designed site without having some realistic use is pure garbage.

Their website also missing few important pages such as About, Contact Us and Legal, mobile support isn't exist. That's a good point actually, which I missed on my brief poke about their website. I dug a bit deeper and made an account using a burner email, and as you say, there is a complete lack of any legal policies or technical details whatsoever. You can deposit Ethereum, which you need to to pay for one of their memberships, but if you click on the withdraw option, it gives you a pop up box that just says "Coming Soon". I tried to use their "Practice" page, but every order I made other than market orders just sat there unfulfilled, regardless of price, volume, movement, etc. The "Shadow Portal" is met with the same "Coming Soon" pop up. No details about how they store any funds you deposit, your personal details, anything. Honestly, seems like a half finished project made by a bunch of brand new developers.

you mean mccafee is not a serious person and all of his statements are only a joke ? hmmmm . i think he did mean it . Newbie designed trading platform and i cant even believe that he do own that shit.
mccafee is a wealthy man and he can just buy a site or hire a developer to create his own website with a profesional look and i dont think that he will waste his own time creating a website with a bad design .

But the evidence is sat on your face and farting on it - he came up with a silly, cruddy product. Not that he had anything to do with it other than adding his name. If I were him I'd at least attempt to knuckle down to come up with at least one or two viable contributions to give myself some ongoing mileage but he's a near 74 yr old on obscure designer drugs 24/7. He won't care about anything any more.

Click here, and look at some of the pre-made website templates you can just buy off the shelf and plug your own text in to: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=website+template&iax=images&ia=imagesNow go to https://mcafeemagic.com/ and tell me how that looks in comparison. He didn't even need to hire a developer, he could have bought a site that looks a thousand times better. Having made an account to test it out, the trading interface is similarly ugly and clunky, all the elements just thrown together in any old way. The design isn't just bad, it's awful. But honestly, I would completely overlook the bad design if the product underneath it was worthwhile, but it isn't. I wouldn't even be using this site if it was free - it certainly is not worth $1,000 a year.

I think the main problem with people "trusting" him is that we're dealing with a continuous wave of new users who may have heard about him years ago and think he's a guru or something. That's also why there doesn't seem to be an end to all the noobs asking whether or not cloud mining is the right investment for them. In both cases it concerns fraudsters, but hey, he's doing what he does the best and we can only continue to warn people about his shady practices.

https://mcafeemagic.comWould you trust this man with your dust? It looks like it consolidates multiple exchanges into one interface. You go first. I'll pass this one but will bookmark it and see how will turn out, we have so many exchanges in the market, many of them has loopholes and manipulating their market and no transparency, I would like to first see how users will react to their security, if it is good then people will trust this exchange even if the owner has issues on his character ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

No one with any experience will go anywhere near it. I don't believe he's a thief but he certainly is a scatterbrained slipshod slacker with low to no standards and I can imagine this is going to have some gaping holes that turn up somewhere soon.

Honestly, with a design and font that is this ugly -- i think most people wouldn't even care how good the product behind it is/was. The only thing i can see this being useful for is for "shady" individuals, who don't want to pass KYC on any of the 8 exchanges, and use "Magic macafee" to get around that? Although i kind of doubt that is possible, or a good longterm business model. (I assume they'll get their accounts disabled rather quickly?. but if not, for what would this exchange realistically be used? I don't get it. Arbitraging? Really?

You still have to have your own personal account in each exchange you wish to access via mcafeemagic. You still have to go through each exchange's KYC procedures, and load up each exchange with however much bitcoin (or altcoin) you wish to use. All mcafeemagic does is collect APIs and allow you to use all your accounts from one (ugly) interface, and charge you $1,000 a year for the privilege.

If he's serious on everything then that site wont really be looking as horrible as that.Just to ask,are you gonna believe on what he's doing and into all sorts of things that he do proclaim? All of the community will surely oppose on that. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Launching a service that most of the features doesnt work? And no matter what web pages you go, the site is horrible regarding to its UI. Never been surprise from any work he's involve with, look bitfi, from the site to its HW design, seems he doesn't want a good looking service tho.
