It seems an unregistered broker-dealers.”

He announced on Twitter as follows;

Due to SEC threats, I am no longer working with ICOs nor am I recommending them, and those doing ICOs can all look forward to arrest. It is unjust but it is reality. I am writing an article on an equivalent alternative to ICOs which the SEC cannot touch. Please have Patience. — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) June 19, 2018

Moreover, he said that friends of these people were personally messaging him to “re-instate” them.

I blocked over 800 people in the past 72 hours. Friends of these people have DMd me and begged me to re-instate them. I blocked them too. RUDENESS will not be tolerated on my account, and there will be no warnings. If anyone wants to be instantly blocked, then, please. Be rude. — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) June 19, 2018

Bid for 2020 US Presidential Election

The Software tycoon who turned cryptocurrency enthusiast was recently in light with parliamentary affairs – in early June 2018, he announced that he will bid for 2020 US presidential election. However, he lost to Gary Johnson in 2016 presidential election while standing under the Libertarian party candidacy. And this time he will form his own party despite the refusal of Libertarian nomination. “The decision of forming a new party and entering into the election 2022 is a way to serve the crypto community with the crypto-specific campaign.”

In spite of past refusals, I have decided to again run for POTUS in 2020. If asked again by the Libertarian party, I will run with them. If not, I will create my own party. I believe this will best serve the crypto community by providing the ultimate campaign platform for us. — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) June 3, 2018
