[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 (Ł4.7bn). 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.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-57589822 TS he was using BitCoin to avoid paying USA Taxes Thats Pathetic, Last edited by arista; 24-06-2021 at 02:04 AM. |

[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.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24441931 Last edited by arista; 24-06-2021 at 01:54 AM. |

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
