RE: Papacabeza McAfee Portfolio Week 1 (still!) FINACOIN purchase. Wait, is McAfee stoned in that video? Is he SMOKING A CIGARETTE? Awesome!

Twitter user @Glaive has done a pretty comprehensive analysis and has tied the founders of FINACOIN to another well-known Nigerian scam. McAfee must not be doing any due diligence on this stuff.

John, as nice of an idea as this ICO sounds, I've confirmed Finacoin to be a scam ran by a Nigerian with a previous record of both ICO scams as well as typical 419 money forward scams. First I looked at the list of other domains using his same two Cloudflare nameservers: pic.twitter.com/OTZJxAwguf

Go to the Tweet to read all the various details. It's well done.

McAfee is finally recognizing the blatantly scammy nature of his FINACOIN recommendation. Here's his Tweet:

I have been presented with evidence that the FINA ICO was organized by an individual associated with a known Nigerian criminal organization. I have no proof that they will not follow through and list the coins or develop a product, but I must withdraw my support. Details coming.
