    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...

    John McAfee: Allegations of Crypto Pump n’ Dump Scheme 'Overblown'

    John McAfee, the 75-year-old billionaire cybersecurity mogul who fell off the rails into a life of drugs, parties and crypto, today criticized allegations brought against him by US regulators while he awaits trial for tax evasion, fraud and money laundering. 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.

If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. Shortly before the announcement, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil complaint in US District Court against  Joh...

    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...

  • Forensic investigator: Sudden shut down of the COSS exchange looks suspicious

    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...

    Tether, the dollar-pegged stablecoin, moved Friday to dismiss a “frivolous” class-action lawsuit accusing it of manufacturing the “largest bubble in human history.” The class-action lawsuit, filed last month,  alleges damages of $1.4 trillion, and accuses Tether of printing billions of dollars’ worth of the digital currency unbacked by real dollars. Further, it claims Tether fraudulently manipulated the price of Bitcoin, inflating the cryptocurrency’s price to $20,000 in  2017. Today Tether file...

    The five best meme coins, from McAfee’s Epstein token to Dogecoin

    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...

  • Is Brazil's most ambitious crypto company on the ropes?

    There are not many big cryptocurrency companies in Brazil. Most of them are exchanges: Mercado Bitcoin, Foxbit, BitcoinTrade, BitCambio and GBB's exchanges (NegocieCoins and TemBTC). With some $100 million under management, and though not an exchange per se, Atlas Quantum is the most ambitious of the crypto finance companies. Atlas claims to arbitrage bitcoin and Tether at overseas exchanges in order to deliver its results at a whopping 3-7% a month (~60% a year). I am not aware of any other com...

    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...
