John McAfee Is Missing
- alttab 7y agoDeadman switch or GTFO. In all honesty though it's hard to trust what that guys says.
- gvb 7y agoI searched for John McAfee boat to get some background on his latest stunt: "John McAfee is running from U.S. authorities – and running for President. On a boat." https://www.foxnews.com/tech/john-mcafee-is-running-from-u-s-authorities-and-running-for-president-on-a-boat https://www.foxnews.com/tech/john-mcafee-is-running-from-u-s...
- g00s3_caLL_x2 7y agoHe gives a good interview on the Bad Crypto Podcast and explains his reasoning for why he's going this> He's had 3 interviews with them, and it's on the the most current. Episode # 281 https://badcryptopodcast.com/2019/07/01/mcafee-281/ https://badcryptopodcast.com/2019/07/01/mcafee-281/ I'm not trying to peddle their wares, I just find McAfee to be quite interesting!
- dfansteel 7y agoThere's a really excellent podcast on McAfee available https://www.behindthebastards.com/podcasts/part-one-john-mcafee-is-not-funny-anymore.htm https://www.behindthebastards.com/podcasts/part-one-john-mca...
- lm28469 7y agoI mean, when you see his other tweets ... https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1152240931015462914 https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/115224093101546291...
- soulofmischief 7y agoYeah I saw that and was just like, well if they're looking for you bud then you just gave them all they needed. It got a chuckle out of me all the same.
- brador 7y ago“If John misses his next check-in, events will be set into motion that I cannot prevent once they have begun. John has secreted data with individuals across the world. I know neither their identities or locations. They will release their payloads if John goes missing.” Isn’t this technically blackmail?
- whenchamenia 7y agoIs it blackmail if you are kidnapped? A deadmans switch seems logical for a guy like mcafee.
- rasz 7y agoFrom EVE Online player perspective this looks like run of the mill scam. Clickbaity story ending with: "Click this — official link to get free BTC Click this — official link to get free ETH Note: All persons are able to participate, including those in the United States. The competion will last until all the 5,000 BTC and 10,000 ETH are airdropped. If you are late, your BTC and ETH will be instantly refunded." refunded? and I though it was a giveaway? oh, you mean the classic send me X and ill double it scam? >To verify your address, just send from 0.1 to 5 BTC to the address below and get from 1 to 50 BTC back! even better, 10x the return folks! >+BONUS: If you send 20 ETH or more, you return amount is doubled! It's free real estate, Jim.
- lm28469 7y agoLook closer, it's not his account. The same thing happens with Musk all the time.
- soulofmischief 7y agoPretty sure it is "his" account. Not necessarily managed just by him. https://www.cnet.com/news/john-mcafee-believed-to-have-been-detained/ https://www.cnet.com/news/john-mcafee-believed-to-have-been-...
- woah 7y agoThe scammer account is @KristaAguirre15. You’ve been fooled because they changed the emoji to his.
- soulofmischief 7y agoI wouldn't say I was fooled by it. That account only posted that scam portion of the thread, the actual thread is the real account. I was just confused about what OP meant.
- 0xEA 7y agoPlease take this down. Load page with fresh cookies. It’s a scam.
- soulofmischief 7y agoI hadn't noticed the part at the very bottom the first time I'd read it. Idk I definitely wouldn't participate in whatever that's about. If you know of a better source of information about McAfee's disappearance other than his official twitter, I'm all ears.
