And the good and bad news about this one is literally anyone who tweets that is also an influencer can be subject to such criminal charges without them knowing, the bad news here is normal people like us might get caught on the wrong side of the law.

I mean, anyone can be charged, but do keep in mind any accusations must be proven in court. I don't think we'll be seeing many other "influencers" being charged unless they're as brazen as McAfee was. Authorities probably wouldn't have gone after McAfee if they didn't believe they had a solid case, and he probably gave that to them himself with his tweets lmao.

If anything, authorities might go after pump and dump group operators considering they're openly doing what McAfee is being brought to court for.
