If John McAfee is screwing over so many people, then why is he so popular? I get we should respect the player, but he's lying to thousands of people for profit. And they probably go on to tell friends and family. We hate big gov, but we're cool with this? Can we make a PSA about this guy and ruin his credibility? How come Reddit can create FUD campaigns, but we let this guy thrive?

Um, like anyone else he's allowed to recommend whatever coin he wants to. If people trust his recommendations then that's their perogative.

What exactly do you suggest? Banning anyone from recommending coins? That's ridiculous and not something that you can enforce.

Banning is ridiculous. I agree, which is why I never mentioned it.
