According to numerous posts on John McAfee’s Twitter, the former antivirus tycoon and cryptocurrency proponent was arrested in (probably) Norway, or Spain, or Germany.
While he hasn’t disclosed lots of details, the reason for the arrest was quite compelling – wearing a lady’s underwear as a protective mask and refusing to replace it.
John McAfee is among the most controversial figures within the cryptocurrency community. From refusing to pay taxes, claiming they are illegal, to running for US President, his life seems anything but boring.
Even his cryptocurrency views appear controversial, to say the least. He went form “Bitcoin will reach $1 million” to “Bitcoin is an ancient technology,” so he decided to launch his own privacy coin – GHOST.
The latest drama began a few days ago when he attempted to board a plane from what initially appeared as Norway to perhaps Munich, where he had plans to convene a “Red Scarf Society” meeting on August 11th.
However, the authorities had issues with his unique coronavirus mask. It was actually ladies’ underwear, which, according to McAfee, is the safest one available, and he chose it for his “health’s sake.”
