John McAfee leaves Ghost token project
McAfee’s move to abandon the project seems surprising, as cybersecurity entrepreneur commended the project on twitter just a week ago. Last week on Aug.13, McAfee wrote on his Twitter account that:
“I have labored my entire life to reach the point where I could produce an Ecosystem as powerful and groundbreaking as the Ghost Exchange, the Ghost coin and the Ghost phone[…] $GHOST is the future.”
In his recent announcement on Twitter, john condemned the project and suggested that it was bound to fail. He also apologized to all that he had misled to join the Ghost token project. However, the veteran tech expert did not leave the project in a very pleasant situation. The firm labeled him as a “loose cannon,” and he retaliated by marking one of the members as an “idiot.”
According to John, his decision to leave the project was triggered by his deep frustration with the project management team. To reflect McAfee’s disappointment at the project, he said he would take off his Ghost tattoo, which he received two months ago in honor of Ghost Token.

Ghost project to run even after McAfee’s departure
