<div class="text-justify"> Coming across this [article,](https://www.news.com.au/technology/john-mcafee-indicted-on-fraud-and-money-laundering-charges/news-story/bec490155a204514c1f0f93ff1879223) I can't help to think that John McAfee is being made an example of, as a message to others that might be doing the same - Namely, *Elon Musk.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmedtCueYVcoD4pKHwBEfVfRQT4og8USvsv6GGfci3zgj8/image.png) The article is about McAfee being charged with fraud and money laundering, on top of the tax evasion charges levelled against him earlier. The fraud is about his Tweets promoting crypto currencies in what are essentially pump-and-dump schemes. Fair enough? I'll be honest, I only skimmed the article as I really don't care that much about McAfee, but I do find at least one aspect of this story worth questioning. >βAdditionally, they allegedly used the same social media platform to promote the sale of digital tokens on behalf of ICO issuers without disclosing to investors the compensation they were receiving to tout these securities on behalf of the ICO. >βMcAfee and Watson used social media to perpetrate an age-old pump-and-dump scheme that earned them nearly two million dollars,β said FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney Jr. Now, I am not getting into the legality or ethics of this at all and I don't know the history of all that McAfee has said, but I remember him shilling Doge - but that isn't a security. They are still arguing over what constitutes a security in crypto afaik. Which makes the second quote connected too, as if they aren't promoting a security - what are they promoting? And if it isn't a security, are the people investing actually investors? If the token does something or claims it will do something, doesn't that make it a product - and if so, isn't shilling it advertising? Also, if it is a product of some kind with utility, than the invested in it are like business people saying that their company product is good - isn't it? After all, it does affect investor sentiment when a celebrity CEO does a product launch party and it does make them buy. There seems to be a lot of double standards in the mix when it comes to the iron-clad laws and I think articles like this are designed to firstly, turn people off crypto and secondly, curb the behaviors of celebrities looking to advertise their position, like Elon Musk, when Tesla announced its purchase (which it had to do) knowing full well the price will spike on the news. Even if they didn't sell immediately, investor sentiment is being driven by these kinds of announcements and they will benefit as the entire market rallies in behind. And, he knew Doge would spike too. Had he bought, did he sell, is the real shill still to come? My point is, that with the power of social media and the increasing complexity of what exactly constitutes an investment or an investor, everything is going to have to change in order to bring things into alignment. If the legislation tries to freeze out new economic tools that are available to the masses, they will lose all control - if they open the floodgates and see what happens, people will quickly recognize the superiority of the new tools for them to gain access to wealth and well-being that they had been closed out of by elites through design and legislation and then, the revolution speeds up and - they lose control. I think that the best they can do is what they do with anything that threatens them but they can't kill - undermine it, create FUD, mudsling and use whatever they can to intimidate those involved to slow down the march of change until they can combat it or, take advantage themselves. I suspect due to the potential, they want to take advantage. It is going to get interesting and I really hope that what ends up happening is that people realize that - they are the economic powerhouse and don't need the current economy - the current economy is engineered so they will increasingly suffer - the governments are part of the systematic failure - the government is financed by the people Governance is needed, not governments, at least in the form they currently take. When economic activity is peer-to-peer and cuts out a lot of the borders, the relevance of national government diminishes a lot, as does the willingness of the people to fund the very organization that restricts them economically. While order and organization are needed, the current mechanisms are fundamentally flawed and need to be replaced, not refurbished. The replacement of an economy can't be bought, it has to be built.

Mr McAfee has made some very powerful enemies over the last few years. This has less to do with crypto and more to do with his past antics. Heβs in the same book as Al Capone. Elon is too much of an asset to this nation. Not to mention the βgreen friendlyβ administration that is now in the position of power. Iβve said it many times Bitcoin is going to eat everything. It would be wise for all people not to go against the grain. Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@automaton/re-tarazkp-3yt2h8)

I think that there is a fair amount "tolerate" at the moment, but very few governments are happy with the speed at which this change is happening.

I think Elon buying and holding bitcoin should be okay, he did announce that he would be accepting BTC for auto purchases, and since taxes are paid in USD, he may have felt he needed a buffer when it came time to convert the BTC to Fiat so he could pay taxes. But it is all just speculation, I personally think it will all end up legitimizing crypto, after all if it is worthless why the hassle from governments.

He had to announce to shareholders anyway - there is a timeframe for this I believe, where large investments have rules applied to them. > I personally think it will all end up legitimizing crypto I do too. and the more the government pushes back on financial liberties, the more the people will support them.

I think that social media will always be used in schemes to make more money based on the following /influence someone has. Complete transparency is likely impossible when there is a financial agenda behind someone's actions !ENGAGE 20

Without these people, who is using the platforms for business? >Complete transparency is likely impossible when there is a financial agenda behind someone's actions At least in blockchain, there is a paper trail.

Plenty of elements within current US administration (and consequently, many governments in the world that toe US official line) look hostile to cryptocurrencies and everything associated with it. This hostility, motivated partly by ideological worldview and partly by political calculations, can indeed manifest itself through all kinds of hostile government actions. McAffe, however, in my opinion represents much easier target than Musk. And movements like WallStreetBets represent much more threat to the established order than a single oligarch, even someone of Musk's stature.

I think it's the casual conversations like what we have in our normal environments that will snowball things into avalanches, as "everyone" wants to be a rebel and fight/push back against "The Man" but most will have to do it in small insidious/maliciously compliant fashions because most people are cowards. But people will realise things eventually and stuff will change regardless of how many tantrums the existing governments throw :)

If it is a question about scale and reach, there will have to be a line drawn as to when an "influencer" is no longer able to advertise products to their audience, rendering influencers largely useless. Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@tarazkp/re-ryivhnn-2fo5jb)

It doesn't have anything to do with crypto per se, it could be any product. Years ago a celebrity was found to have not used a product they were paid to promote and their was a big upheaval about it, that brought about The Truth In Advertising Act. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking As far as crypto's being a security the SEC has already determined that they are: "There should be no misunderstanding about the law. When investors are offered and sold securities β which to date ICOs have largely been βthey are entitled to the benefits of state and federal securities laws and sellers and other market participants must follow these laws." https://www.sec.gov/news/testimony/testimony-virtual-currencies-oversight-role-us-securities-and-exchange-commission

A big part of this, from the SEC's perspective, is profit. Did the individual profit? McAfee was paid to shill the assets, securities in the eyes of the SEC. Thus he was engaging in a good ole fashioned paid pump game. Musk is different situation since it wasnt likely he got paid for shilling DOGE. They are going to try and nail him for swaying markets. This could be an issue if he holds DOGE (no idea if he does) AND sells in a timing that aligns with his Tweets. Outside of that, I think they are going to have a tough time hitting him on this one. But the essence of what you say is true: if they can make an example out of someone, they will. As for McAfee, whatever the SEC comes up with will be child's play compared to the IRS. The guy flaunted that he didnt pay taxes for 8 years. That kind of tax evasion will get you a jail sentence.

>McAfee was paid to shill the assets, securities in the eyes of the SEC. Thus he was engaging in a good ole fashioned paid pump game. Yep, this is why this isn't about this particular case - just a more general point. >They are going to try and nail him for swaying markets. This could be an issue if he holds DOGE (no idea if he does) AND sells in a timing that aligns with his Tweets. This I think is where it gets grey. If you own shares in Apple and recommend to a friend to buy an iPhone or you post how great it is on your Facebook etc, is that considered market manipulation? Should it matter that he has a larger platform? >The guy flaunted that he didnt pay taxes for 8 years. That kind of tax evasion will get you a jail sentence.

Also thought about Elon when I read the news about McAfee, but it's different, afaik Elon did not get paid for promoting Dodge. Disclosing the information after Tesla bought Bitcoin should be absolutely ok.

They had to disclose the BTC buy to their shareholders by law. They probably made the purchase as early as possible and left the announcement as late. :) Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@tarazkp/re-vikisecrets-tsypu)

Elon made a cryptic bitcoin tweet before the official announcement, which could be problematic, but I don't think he was paid for it or that he took advantage of it like selling TSLA stocks after the tweet.
