It was a long time coming. I do believe that it may or may not be a suicide but this guy had his demons, it is really not something I would be shocked to learn if it was definitely suicide. He also had others thorn up his place and look for stuff, he even had assassination attempts on his life so I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't suicide as well, either seem like a possibility. At the end of the day dude is gone and it is really a shame that it ended this way.
I didn't like the guy and first time hear about him was on ICO period and I disliked him because he was promoting shitcoins for money, all of his possessions were taken so he used his name as an influencer and I get it, I would do the same if I was offered money when I had none.
However just because I can understand, doesn't mean I agree and he hurt many people in crypto community, yet that still doesn't mean he deserved an end like this.
Topic: Antivirus Pioneer John McAfee Commits Suicide - page 3. (Read 552 times)
I never followed McAfee's story and thus didn't know he was even in prison until now. It's sad that he was in there for tax evasion, that's my opinion. Maybe he did some other bad shit in his life, but I think they Al Capone'd him. Sad.
Know him since years ago when I was using McAfee antivirus on my super old computer.

He has been an influential person at one time and was living his life according to him but then suddenly he turned the stones against him like shilling out the scam and promoting scam coins for which he and his bodyguard was charged for $13 million crypto scam.He targeted the twitter audience for shitcoins investment and then face charges for this and jail.Personally I am not happy not sorrow for his loss as he was one who don't matters now to the Crypto community.Who knows the conspiracies behind such suicide and interrogation will not last long.

Yeah Epstein killed himself too........ I don't know enough about this case. High profile people committing suicide conveniently tends to be odd.
Epstein I could understand--he was in for sex crimes and had already had a taste of how jail is, and he probably knew it was going to be hell on earth....or he could have been murdered.McAfee, though? I think his suicide is real. Even hardened criminals kill themselves behind bars; a guy who was used to living like a king having his freedom taken away and facing the rest of his life inside a prison cell--and being as old as he was--might easily kill himself rather than face that.

Shocker how people who do horrible things after living a life of luxury might not want to live in a prison for the rest of their lives, right? I mean, we should build a bunch of tin foil hat crazy conspiracy theories about it instead of looking at it from the most likely and least insane point of view. Because the conspiracy theories are definitely more probable than Occam's razor.

Some people can't just admit the fact that karma has caught up with them. Sometimes they get blinded with all the money and power, and they think that no one can touch them. Then the day of reckoning comes and these people will be caught unaware. I am glad that tens of thousands of cryptocurrency users who were conned by John McAfee and lost all of their savings got some justice finally. And further, I hope those Mt Gox users who lost their life savings in 2014 due to scams by Mark Karpelès will also be able to get justice soon.
That is sad. He had gone quite on the wrong trail for quite a while... even possibly implied in the killing of a man in Belize - never confirmed - and that ended up with him on legal trouble, not that he did not deserve to be in trouble with the law. It is of bad taste to speak just badly of a deceased, even if he scammed people, so let´s just say that he was an excellent entrepreneur and manager, even if his personal life was not precisely a role model.
His life is now ended, yet the annoying and persisting spam of his antivirus (your subscription has expired, would you like to renew?) poping up in millions of computers shall remain.

There's already a topic made about his death.

He's in for a treat if he were to be extradited, and I guess he no longer wants to be imprisoned for his tax crimes and just want to literally go out and evade the sentence. Perhaps it is also out of frustration that he was left in the dust after he was charged for tax evasion by some of his friends that he also helped along the way. John McAfee is nowhere near likeable after the pump and dumps that he helped orchestrate, though to be fair he helped shape the scene and helped us recognize some of its flaws, resulting to the maturity of the cryptocurrency market.
RIP.
RIP.
