A John Mcafee is crypto currency slang for when a specific crypto currency coin is targeted with misleading and fake news to drive it’s price up or down. The act is often used to artificially inflate or deflate market prices to benefit the purpotrator (the ‘John Mcafee’ benefactor).
The act of ‘pumping’ and/or ‘dumping’ the coin price is then denied and lied about by the perpetrator in order to cover up the immoral act.
The acts of changing the price via fake news or unqualified opinions followed by backtracking, lying and covering up are collectively referred to as committing a John Mcafee.
The term is named after internet security guru John Mcafee who has a cult following in the crytocurrency space. Often his opinions cause huge movement in coin prices simply down to coming from him and are often contradictory and based on non-existent evidence.
The term then expanded over time to incorporate cover up and lying about the act after numerous examples of this happening.
The term is now primarily used more widely to highlight a lie or fake news report that has negatively impacted something followed by denials and rebuttals.

Get the A John McAfee mug.Noun - One of the many people who think that their Windows PC is 100% secure because it came with McAfee pre-installed. Usually ignorant, technically-inept and sometimes like to complain about how slow their computer is, typically blaming the slowness on some irrelevant factor such as their ISP when the true cause is McAfee.
Ignorant person: "Holy fuck my computer is slow as tits and everything keeps crashing!"
Computer guru: "You probably have a trojan."
Ignorant person: "Nah, I got McAfee."
Computer guru: "McAfee won't detect shit. And when was the last time you updated it?"
Ignorant person: "I dunno, the internet wouldn't work when it updated so I turned it off."
Computer guru: "OK, click actions then request remote assistance so I can work on the comp for you."
*Installs CCleaner, Malwarebytes, ASquared and SpyBot S&D - 5 hours later finds and removes 27 different adware, 8 spyware and 3 trojans then replaces McAfee with Avast*
Happier ignorant person: "Holy fuck it's faster."
Computer guru: "Of course it is you McAfee'tard!"
