does not surprise me one bit! dude has always been one of the scummiest people in this space. hes done tremendous damage by lending his name to shilling piece of shit pump and dump coins like verge. people who do not know any better or do their own market research end up buying these shitcoins on his advice. then they just end up losing money because he not only charged a shit ton to shill whatever coin, but he gradually buys a bunch of that coin in the days leading up to his tweet, just to dump those coins on the unsuspecting people who took his shitty advice. so hes not making 100,000 per tweet, its surely alot more.
Yeah it's not at all surprising coming from McAfee, he's always been about profit first and foremost and then everything else.
Though I do wonder if people would actually buy his tweets to promote. Or if people would click the promoted tweets after that.
