    Back From the Dead? John McAfee's Twitter Used to Promote Solana AI Token

    The late cybersecurity mogul and controversial figure, John McAfee, appears to be making an unexpected posthumous return to the crypto space—or so his X account would have people believe. Early Thursday, McAfee’s X account posted an announcement for "AIntivirus-John McAfee AI incarnate," an AI-driven token built on the Solana blockchain. The announcement declared: “I’m back with AIntivirus. An AI version of myself. You didn’t think I would miss this cycle, did you?” The controversial tweet inclu...

    McAfee Claims Its Audio Deepfake Detection Tool Is 90% Accurate

    Seeing and hearing is no longer believing, thanks to AI. Technology today allows easy and near-instant generation of high-quality deepfakes to amuse, confuse, or misinform the public. Adapting to this new landscape, a company known for its legacy cybersecurity solutions is now expanding its reach, escalating AI content to the same level of risk as any other long-time malware threat. Although detection of AI-generated content has always been an uphill battle, tech firm McAfee says its solution—Pr...

    Down and out in Rome  “I’m destitute! Again!” I slacked Josh “Daddy” Quittner, the CEO of Decrypt, my one-time employer and personal editor. I was having one of those recurring moments of crippling financial panic.  This was around three months ago, and Daddy responded in his typical, good-natured way telling me that he didn’t care, that I was a lazy loser, a vile ginger and that I owed him money. Oh, we had a good old laugh about that one! But he was kidding, he later said, telling me that ther...

McAfee, currently stuck in a Spanish prison, awaits extradition to the US. There, he’ll face charges for tax evasion, and, as of this week, securities fraud and money laundering.  The securities fraud claims spring from McAfee’s promotion of...

    John McAfee, the drug-fueled former tech CEO whose antivirus software still secures 500 million people’s computers, was arrested in Spain on Monday on charges of illegally promoting initial coin offerings (ICOs) and evading his tax obligations. He’s awaiting extradition to the US. But no rush—he’s loving every second, according to a message relayed by his wife, Janice McAfee.  “Hello from prison my friends,” his message begins. “I am having a fascinating time.

    It turns out that John McAfee, the eccentric billionaire who made his money from anti-virus software, was having us on all along when he predicted in 2018 that Bitcoin would reach $1 million by the end of this year. He has long maintained that, "if not, I will eat my dick on national television." “What idiot could believe such nonsense?” tweeted the 74-year-old yesterday about his lofty prediction. Who on Earth would believe that “Bitcoin, the most crippled crypto-tech,” would rise to the high p...

    A blockchain forensics investigator thinks that COSS’s surprise decision to shut down its crypto exchange two weeks ago bears the hallmarks of a possible exit scam.  COSS, a three-year-old exchange based in Singapore, denies any allegation of wrongdoing. It shuttered the exchange without warning—locking up some $2 million of customer money—and continues to maintain that the site needs to be offline for a much-needed upgrade, which could take up to a month.  Strange doings “There is precisely zer...

  • Surviving 2017: The year of the crypto bubble

    Not too long ago, I found a relic in an old notebook. I jotted this down some time before February 2018, just as the crypto bubble was popping:  Your politics do not make you a good person.  Your religion does not make you a good person. Your crypto holdings do not make you a good person.  After recently re-reading this, my mind flooded with memories of 2017: the adrenaline buzz and dopamine hits, the smugly victorious highs, and the weary existential questioning.  Do you remember the insanity o...

Further, it claims Tether fraudulently manipulated the price of Bitcoin, inflating the cryptocurrency’s price to $20,000 in  2017. Today Tether file...

    The crypto space is a mixed bag, containing both the weird and wonderful. On one end, there are serious developers and their communities, striving to create a better world. And on the other? A cryptocurrency inspired by garlic bread.  This is the beauty (and peril) of decentralization. Anyone can take your utopia-inspired cryptocurrency, copy it and turn it into a meme. And there’s nothing you can do about it. On that note, here are five crypto tokens that weren't designed to be real money—but f...

With some $100 million under management, and though not an exchange per se, Atlas Quantum is the most ambitious of the crypto finance companies.

    Among John McAfee’s many skills is storytelling. And whether its his phalanx of ex-military bodyguards, the credulous and vile British tabloids, or his millions of fans, most people usually believe him. Most recently, McAfee claimed that he was being hounded by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for dodging taxes for the last eight years, and the CIA, for, er, something. There might even be a shred of evidence for this—last month, McAfee posted a document supposedly sent by the U.S. District Cour...
