John McAfee reportedly hacked, advertised various cryptos

in #crypto9 years ago

John McAfee ,as I've recently covered, has been sonsored cryptocurrencies every day, allegedly for payment as I've exposed in a recent article you can read read here. Now he recently sponsored like a few dozen coins, as you can see in the image below.

His tweets, almost a parody of his coin of the day movement, were created by a hacker. McAfee, the creator of the McAfee antivirus, claimed to be hacked at a time in which he was clearly being able to pump penny cryptos after clearly buying them before he did it. He tweted out:

"Urgent: My account was hacked. Twitter has been notified. The coin of the day tweet was not me. As you all know... I am not doing a coin of the day anymore!!!!"

Moreover, as I prevously covered, he justified the pimp alegations I exposed him for in my last piece with another tweet trying to blame it on fake accounts. One of them reportedly has the handle "officiaimcafee" with the I capitalized. Given the right font, it's impossible to tell the difference.

His follow-up tweet read:

"Though I am a security expert, I have no control over Twitter's security. I have haters. I am a target. People make fake accounts, fake screenshots, fake claims. I am a target for hackers who lost money and blame me. Please take responsibility for yourselves. Adults only please"

People then started exposing him on other shananigans he did with his social media accounts to pump cryptocurrencies, but he continues to deny everything: Again, take everything you see on social media with a grain of salt, and trade carefully.
