Antivirus Software Entrepreneur John McAfee died at the age of 75. According to Spanish language publications El Mundo and El Pais, the police found McAfee death in the Barcelona prison cell where he was waiting for extradition in the United States. A spokesman for the Catalan Justice Department has since confirmed death in Reuters. The reports indicate that the authorities think it committed suicide, but the cause of death has not been officially determined.
The Spanish authorities arrested McAfee at Barcelona airport in October 2020 following an indictment of US federal prosecutors on allegations of fight against fraud and money laundering, as well as accusations of Tax evasion related to his application failed to the candidacy of the libertarian party in the 2020 US presidential elections. McAfee has failed to file income statements for four years between 2014 and 2018, despite the acquisitions of “considerable income” of various sources, including the money it has promoted cryptocurences and to sell rights to His life story for a documentary.
Although it is best known for the antivirus software that bears its name, the more recent years, McAfee has mainly attracted the attention of the media for its erratic behavior. In 2012, while he lived in Belize at the time, he was accused of paying $ 5,000 to murder at his neighbor. More recently, the authorities of the Dominican Republic have arrested McAfee on the suspicion of traveling on a yacht in charge of high-caliber weapons and other military equipment.
“There is a lot of grief in prison disguised as hostility,” recently wrote McAfee on his Twitter account. “I’m old and happy with food and a bed but for the young prison is a horror – a reflection of the minds of those who designed them.”
