That was the message of John McAfee. Between evil laughs and dark chucklings, the tech guru, tax fugitive, and general wild man shared his suspect views on the "state of the world" during COVID-19 last night at Virtual Blockchain Week.

"We are living in a paradigm the world has never seen before," the 74-year-old crypto advocate and antivirus-software pioneer said, speaking from God knows where.

(He's kept his whereabouts a secret since fleeing Belize in 2012 after suspicions grew that he killed his neighbor.)

"One-third of the planet is in lockdown," he said, adding that most of those people are sitting at home, watching TV, and not doing much of anything, while the US government "pulls money out of thin air." The situation is not sustainable, he argued.

He was especially disturbed by a recent $2 trillion stimulus package in the US, which appears to be backed by nothing other than the good graces of the US government.
