John McAfee commits suicide in Spanish Prison

SeaMaiden — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 20:16:14 GMT

BARCELONA, June 23 (Reuters) - U.S. technology entrepreneur John McAfee apparently hanged himself in his prison cell on Wednesday after the Spanish high court authorised his extradition to the United States, his lawyer told Reuters.

Known for his eccentric behaviour and videos, McAfee, 75, was a pioneer of anti-virus software and indicted in Tennessee on tax evasion charges. He also was charged in a cryptocurrency fraud case in New York.

Spain's high court agreed to extradite McAfee to the United States, a court document released on Wednesday said.

Wow. I'm surprised.

Did anyone watch the documentary about him? He sure was a very unusual man.

He is a controversial figure for certain, I'm not really surprised by this. I think he said something like "If I hang myself like Epstein it will not be my fault". Very strange guy.

And he is suspected of murdering his neighbor in Belize.

I was just seeing at lunch where Spain had agreed to extradite him. But it was only one line and I thought it had to do with a murderfrom several years ago, but I thougt that happened on a Caribbean island or something.

He took the coward's way out and I am NOT referring to other people who take their own lives, only to this dirt bag.

He said in 2019 he would never commit suicide.

@Mistreatedbycs There's a saying that goes "I wouldn't believe him if his tongue was notarized."

I saw it awhile ago. "Unusual" is far too kind. Dangerous whack-job fit him better.

@Pearlee

Thank you. I thought he killed someone but couldn't remember. Good riddance to him and others of his ilk.

I did. A borderline pedophile.

I believe he "had his neighbor killed." I don't believe he did it himself. He surrounded himself w/machine gun armed guards.

For some reason I thought he was already dead. Goes to show how little I know.

I saw his vacation home on Martha's Vineyard and it is gorgeous. At least he had good taste in homes.

"John McAfee would never kill himself." Janice McAfee, the widow of Antivirus creator John McAfee blames U.S. authorities for his death, says he was not suicidal.
