John McAfee’s Account Promotes AI Project AIntivirus on X

John McAfee's account on X has re-emerged, announcing an AI version called AIntivirus. Key points include:

  • The announcement was made on January 23, claiming McAfee's return to the crypto space.
  • A link was provided to the project’s website and a contract address, but no feedback on its content has been reported.
  • Concerns exist regarding the authenticity of the account, with blockchain security firm PeckShield initially flagging it as compromised before retracting their statement.
  • AIntivirus features a native token, AINTI, currently trading at $0.2955 with a market cap exceeding $29 million, down from an initial high of $100 million.
  • Janice McAfee promotes the project, stating it embodies her husband's ideals on privacy and decentralized technology.
  • AINTI token has lost about 70% of its all-time high value, raising speculation about its stability and potential for a pump-and-dump scheme.
  • Similar concerns arise around the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, where a few wallets hold a significant portion of the supply, leading to ethical questions about wealth concentration in the crypto space.
