A Nov. 11 X post recirculated a 2020 John McAfee interview excerpt in which he said he was not a fan of XRP, though the clip does not explain his view.

McAfee made the remarks during a 2020 interview with Tony Edward. “I am not a fan of XRP,” he said. He then added, “There are still scams in this world that are monumental.” The excerpt does not explicitly identify XRP as the subject of that general remark about scams.

The clip was shared by X user XrpHodL_. McAfee died in 2021.
