Barcelona, June 23 - Controversial and highly eccentric U.S. technology entrepreneur John McAfee died by what seems to be a suicide in a Barcelona prison cell just hours after the court authorized his extradition to the U.S. on tax evasion. Criminal charges that carried a prison sentence of up to 30 years. McAfee's lawyer, Javier Villalba, said that John died by hanging as his nine months in prison brought him to despair but knowing McAfee's thoughts on suicide can we even trust his lawyer?
McAfee was on the run from U.S. authorities for years, spending some of that time perpetrating cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes aboard his megayacht. It's a well-known fact that he made a killing during the last bull market from a plethora of illegal, undisclosed ads and token offerings, none of which he disclosed to authorities or his followers.
McAfee was very vocal about ideologically opposing the current monetary and tax system on social media for years, where he continually posted about his discontent and unwillingness to participate in a broken system. This is what got him in trouble in the first place. I can't seem to find the exact video where he said this but he was quoted on multiple occasions saying things like: "Taxation is theft." "I have not paid U.S. tax in eight years, and I don't intend on ever paying it again."
He was later indicted on both tax evasion charges and for participating in cryptocurrency fraud. Both charges he was masterfully evading while living a lavish life abroad a megayacht, armed to the teeth alongside his wife, four dogs, two security guards, and seven staff.
The list of bizarre activities McAfee participated in would take up an entire article to cover so I'll give you a brief sum-up.
- Dropping LSD before work
- Heavy cocaine abuse
- Worked as a software engineer for defense contractor Lockheed Martin
- Constantly surrounded by hookers
- Married a prostitute
- Had a body double, an actor posing as him - dude looked like a literal clone
- Shot by a teenage prostitute
- Fled Belize but was later arrested in Guatemala on murder charges
- Faked a heart attack to give his lawyer more time
- Fathered at least 47 children
- Set up a "sex yoga ashram" school
- Fled authorities for years while constantly taunting them on social media
- Bragged about not paying taxes and getting away with it
- Promoted countless cryptocurrency pump and dumps banking millions in the process
- Offered to help Cuba avoid a U.S. trade embargo using cryptocurrency
- Ran for U.S. president for the Libertarian Party
As you can see, John was a very colorful and eccentric man living his life to the fullest. The most controversial case is his neighbor being shot in the back of the head, after several altercations with McAfee. There were no signs of forced entry into his house, and multiple devices such as a phone, a laptop, and a computer were missing. This case was never solved.
Now that you've got a little taste of the extreme controversy following this man's every step, let's look into the possibility that he really didn't suicide. After all, he did say on multiple occasions that if he was to ever be found dead by suicide, that he did not kill himself.
Even more bizarrely, just four days ago on Father's Day, his wife published a tweet warning letter stating that authorities want him to die in prison to set an example as to the consequences to those speaking out against government corruption.
With the information currently available, it's extremely difficult to weigh in on a definitive answer.
Was he really whacked, or has he just given up hope?
He did mention that if he is ever killed, he will activate a dead man's switch, leaking terabytes of data filled with incriminating information, exposing a corrupt CIA agent.
No info was leaked yet.
Then there is the "Q" post on his official Instagram page after he was found dead.
I have no idea what to make of it.
Nor do I have any idea what to make of this entire story.
There are even conspiracies floating around that he managed to get his body double in but that's an incredible stretch although nothing is impossible in today's world.
Unsurprisingly, even a man's death isn't enough to deter the cockroach's attempt to monetize his passing. Few hours after his death, anon released $WHACKD token on Binance Shit Chain in an attempt to scam memecoin-chasers and bots. It's up 400x.
This is just adding fuel to the self-cannibalizing, toxic, dumpster fire, crypto-sphere has recently turned into, making me kind of yearn for a bear market to cleanse the immorality and get this chaos in order.
Congratulations anon for becoming the single most despicable human being, if you can even be addressed as such, in the whole wide world.
I truly hope you get visited by lady Karma, asap!
The only thing I can say for certain however is that no matter how you twist and turn this, there is no denying the fact that this is an incredibly devastating moment for McAfee's wife, friends, and family to which I send my deepest condolences.
I hope you can find peace and closure within.
RIP John McAfee.
