Mac's filter
McAfee's recent activities smell like a Sucker Filter, but I haven't been able to figure out his goal. Finally pinged.
His Bitcoin Giveaway, in close association with the tantalizingly fiction-or-fact South China Zombie Research Center, is the filter.
The deal is: Send in your bitcoin address, and I'll put some bitcoin in it.
What does he get? He gets the addresses (or wallets or whatever they're called) of everyone who is dumb enough to join the club. Now he knows who the suckers are, and now he can cultivate you and filter you more closely. He can manipulate your wallets if necessary.
This is identical to the call-center scammers who persuade you to provide your bank account number and mother's maiden name in order to receive a free gift.
