It is being reported that due to "a number of credible death threats,"
John McAfee was asked not to attend the Blockchain world Conference
being held today in Atlantic City.
McAfee was supposed to be on site to give a talk, but instead had to
live stream from an undisclosed location. When asked if this was just
some PR stunt, organizers insisted that the threats were quite real and
they are talking the situation seriously.
In the past, McAfee has been known to rile various people and has been
on twitter before making some fairly bold claims. However, if previous
attempts on McAfee are true, it adds credence to the notion that someone
would want to do him harm.
For now, john McAfee is safe and the Blockchain World Conference moves
forward. Hopefully in the future fewer events like this will mar the
crypto community.
