McAfee Vs the SEC: Renegade Security Expert Challenges SEC to Debate on Cryptocurrencies

Outspoken cryptocurrency proponent, iconoclastic firearm enthusiast, and potential 2020 US presidential candidate, John McAfee, challenged the SEC to a live debate on national television over the SEC chairman Jay Clayton's recent statements regarding the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies.

McAfee, who recently announced his intent to capture the White House in 2020, called out Clayton via Twitter earlier this week, coordinating the swarm tactics of newly-enlisted McAfee "Meme war" army members to flood the SEC Chairman with requests that he debate the nature of cryptocurrencies on CNN.McAfee Launches All-Out Offensive.

The head of the SEC declared today that all ICOs are securities.

I challenge the SEC to debate me on CNN. I debated the FBI two years ago when they they overstepped their bounds.

I ripped the FBI a new asshole on CNN. I welcome the opportunity to RIP the SEC a new asshole.

The impact of a debate between McAfee and the SEC could be prominent - the FBI dropped demands of an iPhone backdoor in 2016 as a direct result of McAfee's last governmental clash.

The US SEC has been demanding increasing levels of oversight and control over cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges since late 2017.

A debate between McAfee would not only challenge the core precept presented by recent SEC statements but highlight the importance of the ongoing cryptocurrency regulation debate and introduce a number of important questions into the public zeitgeist - namely, do we need government involved in the issuance and control of currency at all?

"The SEC has twisted Law to its own purpose. If they are not stopped, if no legal challenge is initiated, then the entire free crypto market and our fundamental right to create or choose currencies as we wish, will be destroyed."
