  Filed July 11, 2016
  File No. 001-32698

 

Dear Ms. Woo,

 

MGT Capital Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MGT” or the “Company”), in connection with its filing of Amendment No. 1 to its Information Statement on Schedule 14C (“Information Statement”), hereby responds to your letter dated July 20, 2016 wherein you requested that the Company provide additional information with respect to the disclosure contained in the Information Statement.

 

For ease of reference, we have reproduced your comments below, and provided our response thereto immediately following such comments, in italics.

 

General

 

1. Please clarify the current role of John McAfee with Future Tense Central, Future Tense Secure Systems, Inc., D-Vasive, Inc., and Demonsaw LLC, and describe Future Tense Central’s current relationship with Future Tense Secure Systems, Inc., D-Vasive, Inc. and Demonsaw LLC. On page 8 of your proxy statement, Mr. McAfee is described as a founder of Future Tense Central, but the extent of his current relationship or control of any of these entities is unclear. Include related party disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and Item 5 of Schedule 14A for Proposals 3 and 7, if required

 

Response: As requested, we have amended the Information Statement to include additional disclosure regarding the current role of John McAfee with Future Tense Secure Systems, Inc., D-Vasive, Inc., and Demonsaw LLC. Please also note that the reference in the previously filed Information Statement to Future Tense Central was an error as Future Tense Central is the “doing business as” name for Future Tense Secure Systems, Inc. To address this error, we have deleted the reference to Future Tense Central in the Information Statement.
