In this article it states I knew at that point that my phone had been compromised. McAfee said [...] The former presidential candidate is currently working on plans to sell the world's most "hack-proof" smartphone. - so maybe even another marketing stunt now that he is everywhere in the news.
He gets the profits from the pump and dump and makes advertisement for his new phone with being hacked. Wow.

I've seen him say that he knows his phone gets hacked and only uses limited featured phones because of this so yeah lol purely for publicity
