ANTIVIRUS pioneer John McAfee has reportedly killed himself after he was extradited to the United States.

The 75-year-old tech mogul took his own life in a prison in Barcelona, according to local paper El Pais.

McAfee was arrested on October 3 of last year at El Prat airport in Spain, as he was about to flee the country to Turkey.

That same month, McAfee was charged in Tennessee with evading taxes after failing to report income made from promoting cryptocurrencies while he did consulting work, made speaking engagements and sold the rights to his life story for a documentary.

McAfee developed early internet security software and has been sought by authorities in the US and Belize in the past.

The Tennessee indictment said McAfee failed to file tax returns from 2014 to 2018, despite receiving "considerable income" from several sources.

In July 2019, McAfee was released from detention in the Dominican Republic after he and five others were suspected of traveling on a yacht carrying high-caliber weapons, ammunition and military-style gear, officials on the Caribbean island said at the time.

Unless he was totally broke, there is no reason to kill yourself. Even then not really.

All he needed to do was file those years correctly, get a total owed and 99% of the time work out a payment plan.

I suspect there is a LOT more here than meets the eye. Someone is after him big time for this to happen.

Evading taxes for three years???? That doesn't make any sense. Al Sharpton has been doing that for decades and he still walks the streets.

He was FINE in costa Rica until someone got to the PTB there and got him more or less PNG'd.

SOMEONE in Costa Rica got "UNbought" and he has had issues for the last 2 years with said PTB.

His suicide was as much of a surprise as Epstein's was to him and us.

Here is a link to an article from 2019, regarding him having a "dead man switch"

John McAfee Arrest Rumors Spark Concerns About Dead Man’s Switch

John McAfee’s campaign manager has said on Twitter that the presidential candidate and his wife might have been arrested or detained on his boat, sparking rumors about a possible “dead man’s switch” that John McAfee recently talked about online. McAfee has been living off a boat and says it’s because he’s wanted for not paying his taxes. Now his campaign manager is saying that McAfee and his wife might have been detained on that boat. This is a developing story.


John McAfee’s campaign manager, Rob Bendicto Pacifico Juan Maria Loggia-Ramirez, posted on McAfee’s Twitter account on July 23 to share that he hadn’t heard from McAfee and thought he was detained. He wrote: “This is @loggiaonfire again. I have good reason to suspect that John McAfee, @theemrsmcafee and other companions have been detained by authorities at their latest port of call. I will be operating this account providing updates as they become possible… I last spoke with John as his boat was being boarded. The situation was tense but controlled. Our conversation was cut short by authorities confiscating their phones. The bastards wouldn’t even give him a cigarette.”

Loggia-Ramirez said he last spoke to McAfee when his boat was being boarded and he hasn’t heard from him since. You can read his tweets below." <SNIP> rest at the link

One source is reporting that McAfee took his own life.
El Pais reported:
The founder of McAfee antivirus, John McAfee, was found dead this afternoon in his cell in Brians 2 prison, in Sant Esteve de Sesrovires (Barcelona), according to police sources. The Mossos are investigating what happened, and everything points to a suicide, as reported by the Department of Justice. McAfee was awaiting extradition to the United States after being detained by the National Police at the El Prat airport.
McAfee was arrested in October of 2020 at El Prat airport in Barcelona at the request of the US Justice Department.
McAfee was accused of evading millions of dollars in taxes from money made crypto trading.
This was one of John McAfee’s last tweets before he died:
The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association.
I have nothing.
Yet, I regret nothing.

There needs to be a full investigation into McAfee’s death.

Or the late Mr Epstein. The McAfee story sounds kinda like the guy who founded DHL who was discovered suicided during a stink in the Philippines over underaged girls.

I wonder if he, McAfee and Epstein all had dirt on US politicians who shared an interest in very young females from time spent partying together?
