Finally!! McAfee is arrested in Spain and now facing extradition

[el kaka22]

Dude was getting tens of thousands of dollars, combined for millions of dollars for promoting fake ICO's and nobody said anything about that to him, dude was basically doing insider trading of sorts for money, in real life you do not market a stock to person, you do not get paid to do that neither.

There are companies who paid 50k to him and got their name bragged on his twitter by him and in return they got millions of dollars in funding and just ran with it. This means he should be a bit responsible for each time that happened. I hope to see him locked in forever, he doesn't deserve to see a sun shine once again, I would say life sentence upon life sentence would be better, however USA has relax laws for financial crimes so I assume he would be out in 10 years or so at most.

I think everyone understands the risks of trading cryptocurrencies. But this does not stop many people when everyone sees the opportunity to get unlimited profit. In this case, only a loss can stop it. And everyone makes a decision for themselves either to leave the trade, or to switch to other types of trading, such as holding. In any case, long-term trading will be more profitable than daily trading.

Holders should dump this token it's a token that is very much associated with McAfee, I don't think this token has potential at all checked it in the market and it's volume is not showing promised, and if McAfee spend sometimes in the prison, that will be the end for this token as no one is going to hype it it will surely lose direction.

Am I the only person here who is interested what will be with GHOST?

You are not the only one and me too. FYI ghost is not only running by Mcafee and it has another people who have been working together with mcafee to create ghost coin. I think that this coin will slowly die as the guy who has been making the hype for ghost has already arrested.
The daily volume trade of ghost has been going down so much and people have no interest to buy the crap coin called ghost again.

The best thing we can learn from McAfee is that we shouldn't be doing tax evasion. In todays times it is much easier to find people who are not paying their taxes. Data can be accessed and analysed so much faster than 20 years ago that it's just not paying off anymore. Poor John going to jail with 75 years doesn't sound like a good deal, but at least he had a great life before.

Am I the only person here who is interested what will be with GHOST?

Maybe, but I believe other people also like GHOST tokens, if the tokens have really proven good in everything, because everyone's goal is to seek profit through all tokens, even though I personally don't really like this token.

In fact, I'm not only interested in Ghost tokens, but also in other projects that were supported by John McAfee and how this situation will affect their development. I'm sure that a lot of investors and other cryptocurrency users invested their funds only because these projects were supported by McAfee.

[tvplus006]

In any case, old John McAfee is a cult figure not only in the field of cryptocurrencies, but also in the field of antivirus software. It is obvious that he felt that he was invulnerable to justice, telling about his illegal actions, which led him to these charges by the U.S. Department of Justice.

[davinchi]

Yeah, waking up this morning I saw the news that John McAfee has been arrested on Decrypt: the headline says that the crypto king John McAfee has been arrested and sued for shilling ICOs. Calling him a crypto king is quite funny. It’s time that he goes to rest in his new room lol, he’s been a nuisance for a long time.

I can remember that this guy never liked cryptocurrency to start with, and all of a sudden, I think around that time that Bitcoin was bullish in the past years , he turned a crypto believer and started talking about how much he supports Bitcoin. And after the last ATH price, he started making his crazy predictions that there will be another , which never happened, and then he said ETH is better lol. Before I know what’s happening he started shilling ICOs.

[Anonylz]

And I read that Bitcoin.com is going to delist Ghost and ESH from the exchange, I actually thought maybe this time John will be a bit dedicated to Ghost project but this was another of his charade, the guy had no commitment in him, everything to him is like the cigarette he smokes, I feel sorry for investors who believe in him or who still believes in his lies,
Am not surprise he got into the nest of the law, the man must had it coming, always openly challenging the government and doing all sorts, I hope he can use this period to reflect and if possible mend his ways a little bit.

Dunno about you guys but I am really happy with this step from SEC

I do not think that such a veteran software and antivirus legemd should be treated like that i mean they should have issued him show cause notices and if he fails to respond then they could have imposed heavy fines on him and deduct through his bank account, I am saying this because he is over 70 years old and we should respect our senior citizens.

what a big news from the pump guy
but in my opinion, this is only a personal problem about tax evasion from the guy called john McAfee

[ragavancoin]

Extracted this from page 10 para 35 that dude made crazy returns just from his tweets about the ICO lol.

Really it is a huge amount of money he was gain just from his tweets about on ICOs in that we can notify scams icons also because I was lost my few dollars investment those shitcoins, now time to pay back for him.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

Haha, he is amusing with his ridiculous antics, but it was just a matter of time before the karma caught up with him. He probably already forgot about all the shilling he has done in 2017/18 and how much money naive people lost because they followed his lead when it comes to investing. Dude should rot in prison for few years to learn a lesson.

I'm not in a position to judge this man (MCAFEE), I knew him and I never liked him anymore since he entered crypto space because he never works toward keeping his reputation safe, instead he allows many rubbish projects to run on his name without him having knowledge about what the project is all about.

Believe that some people benefits alot from this John McAfee, I have a friend that is now successful enough through john mcafee GHOST token, I knew some get rekt but that's what crypto is all about, fully surrounding with risks

John mcafee have zero knowledge about crypto and yet he keeps spreading unnecessary hypes, that's his fault. And about the tax invasion that's not my problem, that's personal.

Why would you be happy about that, care to elaborate?

[trauchot]

Well, this man was engaged in fraud and constantly evaded all laws, and how much money he collected in the cryptocurrency sphere, this is generally horror, and constantly advertised various scam projects, well, finally governments caught him, but what did he think he could constantly run away, this is impossible, now he will answer according to all the laws, because what he did is punishable by prison.

[coinfinger]

I had so much respect when I saw this guy in ICOs first because I thought he must be a great addition to any ICO and project but he started to be a team member or advisor of too many ICOs and it started looking very strange. I was wondering why he joins them and what benefits he gets and then I realized this guy takes big chunks of coins and then pump the coins by showing as if he backs those coins and people thought of a big guy is part of the ICO and invested their hard earned money.


The article says "McAfee allegedly received BTC and ETH worth more than $11.6 million for promoting seven ICOs in 2017 and 2018." which shows how money minded this guy was as he was always only looking for money and would even promote a shit coin to make it look like the future of crypto. This guy needs a long and strict interrogation now and happy he is caught!

Exactly, McAfee is not an example of a good person but he was able to make some people rich through some of the project he shilled, for example his recent ghost project was surrounded by so many hype because it was McAfee that was spare heading the project, it was a good return of investment for those who took part,
I think McAfee has some issues he refuses to deal with, now he has loss the respect of many of his followers, too bad how he has ruin his reputation by himself.

[Vishnu.Reang]

I would be really glad if this loser is extradited to the United States. He ruined so many lives, and caused hundreds of millions of USD in losses to the cryptocurrency users, by promoting scam ICOs. He continued to promote them even after knowing that these projects were scams. Those who invested in these projects after listening to him lost their hard earned savings. I hope he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
