John McAfee crypto exit scam theory

This theory holds that John McAfee promoted a cryptocurrency project, memecoin, or stablecoin while quietly accumulating supply to dump into retail demand during the hype peak. Proponents point to wallet-clustering analysis, on-chain transfers to exchanges, and the timing of public endorsements relative to price action.

On-chain analysis is publicly verifiable but interpretation depends on labeling assumptions for clusters. Several promoted tokens across the 2021 to 2024 cycles have collapsed in patterns consistent with insider exits, but legal attribution is rare.

The claim recurs whenever a high-profile figure attaches their brand to a thinly liquid token and then quietly steps back from the project.
