    John McAfee Tweet:

    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.


    "While the SEC offered some much-needed relief to cryptocurrency markets last week with its statement that bitcoin and ether are not deemed to be securities, the comments also placed the massive ICO market under greater scrutiny as the regulator confirmed that it does consider ICOs to be securities."

    We do all realize the McAfee is batshit crazy right? He totally lost it several years ago, quite a sad story really. Regardless any allegation of government persecution from him should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
