Can people check up and see if the JohnMcAfee news is a trolling / rabble-rousing account?

Anyone remember this meme? It's literally true now.

Yes - it's a junk account. Below is a link describing the sudden activation of the account January 2025,  after McAffee died in a Spanish jail cell while awaiting extradition.

Juan O Savin promoted the false idea that when Trump left office, Q had to go 'deeper underground' so they took over McAffee's Telegram account (because its more secure?) and were posting from there. He noted the difference in tone and vulgarity, but supported the belief it was still Q. JOS said the account had something of a count-down and when a target amount of crypto currency was donated, the McAffee account (i.e. Q) would release terabytes of intel on the globalists. Anyway, nothing happened. Looking today, I see it was a scam from his wife. I suspect JOS got a cut, along with others who helped promote its authenticity.

John McAfee Is Back From the Dead to Hawk Meme-Coin

Excerpted

"...the official X account of the deceased software developer—and fugitive—made a post announcing the launch of a new cryptocurrency and his resurrection as an AI chatbot. The coin and bot are fittingly called “AIntivirus.”"

The Creepy Far-Right Plot to Bring John McAfee Back From the Dead

EXCERPTED

"Shortly after McAfee’s death, in fact, his Instagram account—which had been run by other people while he was in jail—posted a large “Q” image, sparking a frenzy of conspiratorial chatter.

‘Q’ Post on John McAfee’s Instagram Page Unleashes Conspiracy Wave

The Instagram account was later removed. But beginning in mid-July, a trio of accounts on the Telegram platform have emerged, all purporting to be very-much-dead McAfee. Since then, those accounts have racked up followers by pushing QAnon-like ramblings and providing a countdown clock for revelations that—shockingly—never materialized. Now the fake McAfee accounts are sowing discord in the QAnon world, elbowing in on the audience of longer-running QAnon influencers."

~~~~~~~~My Notes From that last embedded link

Ron Watkins warned 'QAnon' followers of the  McAfee telegram account that McAfee didn't announce anything at the end of the countdown. He said none of the alleged 31 terabytes of deadman’s switch data has materialized. He noted teh McAfee account was posting Q-style drops and signing them as McAfee. He warned anons to be careful.

The article noted that Watkins himself was accused of being behind that fake account.

I can't go back to the articles after opening 3 separate links on the site - it's locked to me unless I subscribe. So if you check it out, you may want to copy/past sections you want to read later. My quick searches didn't turn up recent info. There are posts on our threads about JOS assertions re the McAfee account.
