historical context: He's talking about MDPV, which was one of the first really really bad bath salt drugs and had a reputation for turning goons into complete crackheads over the course of a week without even putting a dent in the $20 gram they bought just to try for fun. In the midst of this I guess McAfee decided to play Pablo Escobar in Belize with synthetic chinese crack. If you've seen that McAfee documentary this is the period where he's living in the jungle with all the local bangers on payroll as bodyguards. He has since disavowed these posts and said he was just trolling, guys, seriously

Ah, the good old days.

He already amended that he’d “offshore” the dick-eating process meaning he’d find some poor person to cut off their dick and eat it instead of himself. McCaffee’s not only a sociopath, he’s a coward.

And they didn't even do anything with Magic. They just skipped that poo poo entirely and got into bitcoin and used their domain that they already had.
