We have published a six-part exposé scrutinizing the project @AIntivirus (https://t.co/BVElyYqAcq).
Summary
The AI-driven cryptocurrency project claims to honor the legacy of the late cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee (@officialmcafee), with the $AINTI token actively promoted through his X account four years after his passing.
Through meticulous research, we reveal the project’s questionable origins, misleading marketing tactics, and ethical breaches, exposing how McAfee’s legacy was exploited for personal gain.
Each part dissects critical aspects of the project’s history:
Part 1 - AIntivirus Founder's History (Pre-AIntivirus)
This part reveals the history of Josh 'Case,' detailing his involvement in various cryptocurrency projects since 2017.
Characterized by rapid launches, rebrandings, and unfulfilled promises, alongside frequent collaborator Adrian Daluz, Josh's track record prior to founding AIntivirus raises concerns about credibility.

Part 2 - AIntivirus 'V1' Saga (Nov-Dec 2024)
This part unmasks the origins of AIntivirus’s $AINTI (v1) token, initiated by a “timer LARP”—a conspiratorial marketing stunt crafted by Josh that exploited John McAfee’s legacy to generate hype.
It reveals multiple token deployments $TEQUIL, $TEQUIL, $ESIM, $CRAIZY, unverified claims of a “rogue employee,” suspicious transactions, deleted posts, and several misrepresentations to investors.
By late 2024, AIntivirus appeared abandoned, leaving v1 holders uncertain about the project’s future.

Part 3 - The Token Migration of $AINTI v1 to v2 (Jan 2025)
This part examines the deceptive token migration from $AINTI v1 to v2. Investors were instructed to send tokens to a wallet provided by Josh, who promised a 1:1 swap but delivered a 10:1 supply cut.
Our analysis shows nearly 40% of the v2 supply was distributed to 56 insider-controlled wallets before launch, contradicting Josh’s inconsistent allocation claims.
Post-migration, the project again seemed abandoned, leaving investors in the dark until the project’s v2 relaunch.

Part 4 - The $AINTI 'v2' Relaunch (Jan-Feb 2025)
This part highlights deceptive practices during the v2 relaunch. AIntivirus erased their prior online history and restricted investor comments in their Telegram channel, which was inflated with bot accounts.
The relaunch, announced by Janice (@theemrsmcafee) via @officialmcafee's X account, faced scam allegations.
Part 4 also documents the suspension of the @AIntivirus X account, false claims of open-source development, false marketing of the 'AIntivirus eSIM,' scrutiny of the fan-managed @JohnAInti X account, and a deleted partnership tweet by @MarioNawfal amid fraud concerns.

Part 5 - The Mario Nawfal Saga (Feb 2025)
This part details the collapse of AIntivirus’s partnership with @MarioNawfal following fraud allegations from an anonymous source, followed by a harassment campaign against Nawfal and his team, including the promotion of an insider-linked $AINTIMARIO token.
It reveals that Janice was reportedly divorced from John McAfee at the time of his death and was directly informed of concerns about Josh prior to her stated involvement.

Part 6 - Systemic Deception (Feb-Jun 2025)
This part reveals a pattern of deception by the AIntivirus team. Their misrepresentations include dismissing legitimate critics as "haters" and making several claims during livestreams that we challenge.
It documents ethical breaches, such as Josh's alleged use of John McAfee's ID for KYC verification and the unauthorized publication of 'John McAfee's blog' on the AIntivirus website, which infringes on Impact Media's IP rights and violates agreements John McAfee made during his lifetime with @FrancoisSocial.
Additionally, the team’s failure to deliver promised features—such as anonymous web hosting, encrypted email, and cryptocurrency scam detection tools—along with silencing critics through threats, bans, blocks, or intimidation, further reveals a calculated effort to conceal misconduct, ultimately exposing the project’s true nature.

This video was taken at John's 75th birthday party in Spain. I was behind the camera filming but was happy to put the camera down to dance!
He looked so handsome that night. That smile, how I miss that smile.
We celebrate you today John David❤🕊
Today we celebrate what should have been the 78th birthday of John David McAfee.
Today the world is a little quieter, color is less brighter since John's life was snuffed out on a dirty prison floor in Spain.
Thank you John. Your memory and sacrifice lives on in the living.
