He's a cryptocurrency supporter and a public figure.
But his shilling for money is disgusting, really. It was fun at some point, but not anymore, not really.
I don't know what he has said or done, but I think that both parts of the "deal" are exaggerating, probably knowing that this means more awareness, after all.
And the coinpedia "news" is so newbish I don't know if it wasn't actually written by the team of that Zombie ICO/IEO/whathever.
McAfee brought lots of attention to cryptos, which is positive.
He's also running for POTUS just to bring publicity to cryptos.
Obviously it's in his own interest to, but it's also in our interest IMO.
Not taking sides here, just mentioning that the good he's done is probably bigger than his mistakes.
