Can't forget what he did to the market in 2017.But he is undeniably an inspiration to many of today's crypto celebrities.

Inspiration to whom? Scammers? For me, John McAfee is at the same level as Ruja Ignatova (of the OneCoin scam) or the PlusToken scammers. Each and every action he undertook in 2017 had only one aim - to accumulate as much money as possible, by any means. He caused around $200 million in losses to cryptocurrency users. Apart from the scams in cryptocurrency sector, he is also accused in dozens of other crimes. While he was residing in Belize, he murdered one of his neighbors (Gregory Faull). Since Belize is such a corrupt country, he was never charged for his crimes. Live by crime.. die by crime.

A sad news would still be a sad news. even if you are celebrating a person's death which for me I would find totally sick. Most of us know his contributions to the computing world, but also despise his actions in cryptospace. Nevertheless, he died a lonely man, in a Spanish cell, maybe contemplating about the actions he did most of his life. If none of us can mourn his death, let us at least show a bit of respect to the person. You will be more human if you show a little respect.

Very shocked to see this news that John McAfee has ended his life by suicide maybe this is because of the long agony that is not strong enough to cause frustration and choose a dead-end forever.
I know he is well known in cryptocurrency because of his shillings and even manipulating such a large market according to local news so this is a decision for me but for me this did not expect the founder of antivirus software to end tragically.

Maybe a lot of cheating before that so he's in jail and will be extradited to the US, so sad and more to end it.

RIP.

It's quite unfortunate that McAfee chose to take his own life. I feel really sad because he was a great cryptocurrency influencers and I remember making several wrong investment choice following his thread. Its bad that it all ended this way, I hope he finds peace now.

Whatever the reason or the truth, behind his death, will be a mystery did someone killed him, or he kills himself because the Americans will bring him to America for trial, did someone do it, to stop him from speaking? we don't know, but what we have now might be because of him, we have a great run during his time in crypto, rest in peace John Mcafee.

Whatever he was he was a clever fame hungry man. He tweeted that he would not kill himself, then killed himself. Knowing that the conspiracy theories will go on and on and hence his name will go on too. He was scared of going to the us and spending his remaining days in prison. He did kill himself imo but left it open so people speak of him.

McAfee had an amazing life of visionary, libertarian and crypto evangelist. He earned $6 billion, became an enemy of more or less all states in the world simply for saying uncomfortable things and lived his life to the fullest. I wonder if it was one of his pranks when he said not to believe the suicide version and then committed it. Or was he right?..

I am curious to know if it is possible that America wasn't behind it.

Because these few words are forcing me to think that America wanted to kill McAfee just because he was speaking against the government agencies.

Quote

Janice McAfee said in a post on Twitter on Sunday, "Now the U.S. authorities are determined to have John die in prison to make an example of him for speaking out against the corruption within their government agencies... There is no hope of him ever having a fair trial in America."

Maybe or maybe not only God knows the truth, I'm sad that this happens to McAfee honestly he is a icon on his own and also a man who fought against government conspiracies, about the crypto part he doesn't know anything about blockchain he just believe that it's futuristic, R.I.P JOHN

Good riddance, and RIP John McAfee, we can't deny his contribution to the anti-virus community.

But we all know his role on the 2017 ICO craze, but I'm not going to bad mouth the guy because obviously he is gone, so out of respect to him.

He was eccentric and borderline genius, we really don't know if it is really a suicide because he is scheduled to be extradited to the US and maybe he was afraid of it.

He did a lot of damage to cryptocurrency by promoting various scams. The fact that he committed suicide doesn't erase the fact that he ruined the lives of hundreds of people and might have probably forced at least some of them to take their own lives. Also, his death doesn't mean that the case is closed. The money should be recovered from his bank accounts and distributed among the victims of his scam. On the antivirus sector, I agree. He made a lot of contributions to that sector, by keeping our computers safe from malware and trojans.

This is still sad, I am not actually familiar with the case given to him if he should be going to jail for so many years or anything, but being in jail and you are a popular person is such a bad feeling, maybe he decided to kill himself than to stay longer in the jail, It so sad because even though John McAfee doing so many shit things in the cryptocurrency there are still some good things that he have shared to all of us.

Oh wow this is sad,,, the newsweek report does say that the extradition was approved earlier in the same day though. I do not understand why he was not put under suicide watch knowing this decision was something he would not have liked at all.

I never liked the guy but this is still sad news,,, anyone who has to do this fearing his own country of citizenship does not deserve this.

RIP.

Say what you will about him getting paid for shilling altcoins (maybe for survival) but he started out good when he talked about BTC. His outrageous remark of $1 Million per BTC by Dec. 2020 or he'll eat his d*ck definitely turned heads. Obviously, that didn't happen but it gained more attention for bitcoin during that time. RIP

have no idea if there are big people involved in the scams he did in the past like politicians or so. if he will reveal those names because he will be extradited, i think those big names have reason to have him killed.

This is just a mere speculations right? I think the news itself can be a factor of him doing such suicide. Being extradite is something shame and I know somehow Mcafee have some pride and dont want this. If ever your assumption is true, then probably he is being blackmailed but is there are reason for mcafee to be scared? Like somehow they will threat his family will be killed or something like that.

Although I don't like him and his passion of shilling shitcoins a lot but he somehow paved the way for celebrity involving cryptocurrency. RIP McAfee!

RIP to John, it's a sudden news we cannot deny that even he became a hype to so many shitcoin, he open the door of cryptocurrency to many well known personality even celebrity and part of that is John's legacy. I think he is in a deep situation and I don't believe it was suicide.

he once actually said he will not do what his father did in the past. His father commits suicide too. so given that he already said he won't be committing the same mistake, there's this theory again that it's almost like Epstein case too. i have no idea if there are big people involved in the scams he did in the past like politicians or so. if he will reveal those names because he will be extradited, i think those big names have reason to have him killed.

What a pity, and thank you for your input and strong comment - John mcAfee's. He has been incredibly vocal in support of bitcoin and crypto throughout his life. Still alone in jail for 75 years old, I remember mcAfee once had a bitcoin prediction of $500k, if that happens this year. At least that was the only time his bitcoin prediction was correct.
If he really is dead. I will bow my head to pray for him! Not greatness but he is still worthy of respect.
