[Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee
has been found dead in a Barcelona prison
cell hours after a Spanish court agreed
to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges.
The Catalan Justice Department said
prison medics tried to resuscitate him,
but were not successful.

It said in a statement that
"everything indicates" McAfee took his own life.
A controversial figure in the tech world, his company released the first commercial anti-virus software.

McAfee VirusScan helped to spark a
multi-billion dollar industry in the computer world,
and was eventually sold to technology
giant Intel for more than $7.6bn (£4.7bn).


In October 2020, John McAfee was arrested
in Spain when he was about to board
a plane to Turkey, and accused of failing
to file tax returns for four years,
despite earning millions from consulting work,
speaking engagements, crypto-currencies
and selling the rights to his life story.
The US Justice Department alleged that
McAfee evaded tax liability by having his
income paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency
exchange accounts in the names of nominees.]

TS he was using BitCoin
to avoid paying USA Taxes

Thats Pathetic,

[Who is the real John McAfee? He's the man who
went on the run after his neighbour
was found dead, face-up, with a bullet in his head.
He's the man who jump-started the
multibillion-dollar anti-virus industry.
And now he thinks he can make you invisible on the internet.

Within tech circles he's long been a legend.
But for most people, McAfee came to prominence
last year when he fled his
Central American home - teeth stained,
hair dyed, in disguise - rather than let
himself be questioned by authorities
he accused of being corrupt.

He tells the BBC he had "no connection whatsoever" with his
neighbour's death. Police say he remains a "person of interest".

Back in the US, after posting footage of
young female "friends" stroking his naked tattooed torso,
he now plans to neutralise the NSA's cyber-surveillance system.]

forgive me for taking a small sliver of joy from this news considering his terrible app has been pestering me every single time I open my laptop, begging for a renewal of the free trial

Yes Intel the owners
want to rip you off.

…huge success/wealth as he had brings choices …and this was his choice, to end his life in a prison cell in Spain…and the charge that was going to have him extradited was tax evasion…?….so it was all for financial greed…?….

he had rebelled against authority for years, not putting too fine a point on it, the guy was a self entitled ass hole. It was never going to end well

Have to agree

His past comments kinda confirm it was not suicide

Was he 75 or 76?

What did he know in February 2020?

Alf he went crazy
Locked up

I'll tell you what he didn't know...

... He didn't know that 2% case fatality rate is nowhere NEAR "equivalent to seasonal flu". :umm2:

You don't think he got suicided?

The old Clinton lullaby?
