11/22/19 Interview with John McAfee (@officialmcafee on Twitter). John is very well known, not only in the crypto space, but in the mainstream world as well. John blazed a trail for antivirus software back in the 80's when computers were just coming into the spotlight.John founded McAfee associates, the company behind the one of the most popular antivirus software programs in the world. He ran McAfee from 1987 until he left the company in 1994. McAfee Associates is now simply called McAfee, and is still a very well-known brand and solution globally.John has lived a wild life and has also been accused of numerous things. He has too much to his backstory to recap now or even to ask about in the podcast episode, although I was able to catch up with him on a few interesting topics.Over the past year or so John has been on the run from the IRS for refusal to pay taxes. In that time, he was scheduled to speak on a cruise, but sent his body double instead. His body double woke up days later in a hospital, not knowing what happened. Other strange illnesses have also effected his country managers, which he talks about in this episode.John is also running in the 2020 presidential elections in the Libertarian category.In this episode, some of the topics covered include:-Bitcoin's price.-John's run from the IRS.-His body double and representatives mysteriously falling ill.-Hacking Bitcoin and more.Catch up with John on Twitter or on his presidential campaign page.For more on John McAfee's background and story, check out the following links (from which some of the above information was derived):General Info Page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfeeABC News Stories:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1p3GDXEy7ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxuxNFtsrCUTweet Video On The Run From The IRS:https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1087772979730239490?lang=enPlease subscribe to the podcast as well as give a rating and a review!
