- Deceased John McAfee would now be able to live this crypto cycle posthumously as his wife launched an AI token Alntivirus.
- The token was minted on Jan 6 with a 100 million token supply and was later moved to 277 other wallets.
John McAfee's wife Janice Elizabeth McAfee has launched an AI meme coin named after the her late husband’s most famous selling product, Antivirus.
On X, she announced plans to uphold McAfee’s principles of freedom, privacy and technology while incorporating elements of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
John McAfee’s X account, also managed by Janice, communicated through its projected AI persona, indicating his continued relevance in the cryptocurrency space.
The initiative claims to have created "John McAfee AI incarnate," hiring an AI to generate responses reminiscent of McAfee’s style.
However, the authenticity of these communications has been questioned, as they do not closely echo McAfee’s unique voice, despite his known history of promoting various tokens.
Despite the initial enthusiasm surrounding the project, concerns have arisen regarding its token distribution. Records reveal that all 100 million tokens minted in early January were transferred to various wallets, with only a small fraction allocated for liquidity on major decentralized exchanges.
Critics have noted that merely 1.6% of the total tokens are available for trading, raising questions about the potential for insider trading and a lack of transparency regarding the project’s tokenomics.
