John McAfee’s wife launches $AINTI meme coin, community raises supply concerns

John McAfee’s name is being used to market an AI meme coin, AIntivirus. His wife, Janice McAfee, is leading the project. 

Janice McAfee posted on X, saying “I am super excited to announce that I have taken creative control of a product that will expand John’s legacy.” She shared that the token is based on John’s beliefs in technology, freedom, and privacy, which he passed on in his interest in AI and crypto during his life.

A post from John McAfee’s original account was also shared promoting the token. His account has a following of 1.2 million, which was used to leverage the attention towards the new token. His wife, Janice McAfee, reportedly manages this account.

I'm back with AIntivirus. An AI version of myself.

$AINTI has raised supply-related concerns

Since its launch, the AIntivirus has raised some concerns regarding its supply. According to blockchain data, AINTI was mined on January 6 with a total supply of 100 million. In the weeks that followed, all of these tokens were transferred to different wallets before the official announcement was even made.

According to DEX Screener, only 2.6 million of AINTI, worth $1 million, were used as liquidity in two trading pools on Meteora and Raydium. Moreover, no information regarding tokenomics is available yet.

An X account with the username TechLead also shared that these tokens were “Minted 16 days ago, then transferred to insiders. Only 1.6% in liquidity, the rest held by insider wallets.”

On the website, the token is advertised as “John McAfee AI incarnate,” linked with a fresh AI-based X account. This puts the project in a similar vein to the rest of the AI accounts, which automate responses to posts in a specific person’s style.

This AI account even shared, “From the digital grave, I rise—now an AI with the same old spark,” which doesn’t sound too natural for McAfee’s style, although he has advertised tokens during his life.
