people like John McAfee will not waste his wealth if he dies someday (as is the current reality that he is dead). I am sure that the coins owned by Jhon McAfee will not just disappear, Jhon McAfee's wealth must have been passed on to someone or his family before he died.
That's true. Therefore, we can assume that his assets are now in a safe place whether it is on the family or in foundation. John was smart so he will not leave his treasures to decay along the years. Of course there are things that we couldn't able to know as they may settled in private to maintain the disclosure of huge assets. 
Topic: John McAfee is dead, are his coins lost? (Read 737 times)
Man, how questionable everything is especially when reading in Twitter that apparently the guy left a note that he will never commit suicide. Heavy stuff, but may be it's all a conspiracy.
In other words a perfect father figure 
His wife is probably set for life anyway because they had to have some cash in the house. That is of course if the IRS doesn't go after her because a person who inherits the estate also inherits debts.
It would be a funny story if a well known security expert would hold his wallet password written on a sticky note attached to his desk. It happens quite often in this profession.

His wife can just claim that she doesn't have the private keys to access any of McAfee's cryptocurrency holdings. And as long as she doesn't convert the coins to fiat, no one will have any idea about whether she can access these coins or not. Even if she want to convert some of that to fiat, she can do it through various anonymous means. What complicates the matter further is that his wife is not a US citizen. So the US authorities may face a lot of issues in interrogating her. Recovering any remaining coins is a long shot, for now.

always where there is very good intelligence it may do something unusual that can be done, so that it becomes something of an unconscious mindlessness. there will always be weaknesses in everyone regardless of circumstances and nature and we do not know what these weaknesses can happen and even do not realize it ourselves.His wife is probably set for life anyway because they had to have some cash in the house.

I agree that whenever there is an inheritance available it will usually also be followed by a debt owed. Moreover, his life is always with a job like that, so it's a natural thing that will happen, it's not unusual that rich people can usually have more debt than what they have

None of his other family members were in talking terms with him at the time of his death. Even I have doubts on McAfee's relationship with his wife (Janice Dyson, married in 2013). Dyson is a former sex worker, and she came to contact with McAfee while she was still in the business. Dyson would claim that McAfee saved her from human traffickers, but I don't find much truth in her stories. McAfee never believed in any family responsibility. He has admitted that he fathered at least 50 children, to around two dozen different women. And he never paid a penny in maintenance to any of his offspring.

He is a rich man, he is also a smart person and he is a businessman.
I am not really sure about what he is doing to secure his asset. But, I am pretty sure that he has set or prepared all probabilities that will happen to him and set several ways to make his asset secured enough even he has died. He may have given it to his family or other people who are trusted to manage all his wealth.
It can be.Moreover, nowadays, there are also some features of the legacy to other people.
If we are to think about, the good people gone bad situation when it involves huge money/crypto. I don't think someone like McAfee will leave his asset to his lawyer or other people since Bitcoin is decentralized and every evidence to prove the BTC to be McAfee can be destroyed but if his children can send him a lovely message during fathers day celebration that McAfee have did the right thing which is not know to us before he dies I am not really sure about what he is doing to secure his asset.

John McAfee left his assets to none I guess. He never trust anyone, He never used the antivirus he made. He admitted it in some point. So I guess he never left that wealth also because of trust issue. His coin will be useless forever. Or if someone will discover all his secrets hidden in some vault, that includes all the keys that will lead an access to that. Just my opinion. 
But I find him as an awesome guy. He is cool.

If that's the case then I feel pity for his family. Let's say that they have enough wealth to survive but Mcafee's coin isn't a small amount so it should've been helping his entire family in so many ways. That's actually one of the reasons why we're always advised to trust at least a single person about our personal funds and wallet keys so we'll know where our funds would go if unexpected things happen.
Perhaps he has some relatives or his wife who have knowledge about his crypto activities, John McAfee was a smart guy and must have taken care of things like that during his lifetime, I still can't believe the guy is dead, as much as many dislike his kind of person he still did among those who push crypto awareness and promote it in his own way without any fear, I doubt John will let his crypto assets waste away like a lost treasure without hinting any close relatives or friends.
What I think is that if there is really crypto left then it is likely that it will remain hidden from the public eye. It might be possible that the only people who might know about the hidden crypto would be some family members or his lawyer perhaps. I doubt though if he has a lawyer since he was in the Spanish jail not in the U.S. then the lawyer might only be a lawyer/friend where he can confide secrets to, maybe paid to keep his secrets intact.
Sadly, his all crypto become obsolete after his death. Because he might not share private keys to anyone. to overcome this There should be system of nominee if anyone's address is more than 2 years inactive. This is limitations in decentralisation.
We will probably never know for sure about this. While already in prison, John McAfee wrote on social networks that he had no money left. I am inclined to believe this, because, committing suicide (if it was really suicide), it turns out, he no longer believed in his release from prison and the lack of money should play an important role in such a decision. If, nevertheless, we assume that the money remained in his cryptocurrency, then, since he had access to the Internet and social networks from prison, then he could well transfer information about the private keys of his wallets to his family. 
If he didn't legate his coins to someone, then yes. All of his coins will be just gone forever unless someone finds the information of his wallet(s) somewhere. This is maybe not a good feature of Bitcoin but we have nothing to do about it now.
I believe John McAfee has bequeathed his coins, especially his family or close people may have been told by McAfee how to access his wallet.
Because I alone have not as many coins as McAfee told my partner how to access my wallet. Moreover, McAfee who definitely has quite a lot of
coins in his wallet, he must have taken into account the possibility of inheriting them. But the problem is that McAfee is still in trouble with
the law and must be responsible to several people who have harmed by him, there is a possibility that the US government confiscated the coins
owned by McAfee.

How could a smart guy like McAfee ended like that, I couldn't buy that story, even his death was unclear, he has a wide range of network, and has many connections even in politics or government.
Then suddenly, appears, all of his investment was gone into thin air, to me, it was all orchestrated, all of his coins was secretively transferred to his family.
Maybe that's the reason for ending like that, the connections that he had with politicians and influential people, maybe the network that he has is what's made him a target for an alleged neutralization and that they don't want it to leak outside, remember that there was an Instagram post by McAfee about something before his death and that post got deleted? Then suddenly, appears, all of his investment was gone into thin air, to me, it was all orchestrated, all of his coins was secretively transferred to his family.

it is clear that a very intelligent person will commit no fatal mistake other than if he is senile or deceived by his advisors.Then suddenly, appears, all of his investment was gone into thin air, to me, it was all orchestrated, all of his coins was secretively transferred to his family.
but it's clear he has prepared everything carefully in case something happens to him and we can't possibly know apart there is information from their circle.
I do not believe that the investment he has can not be given to his close people. let time tell later.
indeed the private key should have previously been given to the closest person, so that his wealth in the form of crypto or something else can be used by his family, but if that doesn't happen then the supply of crypto will decrease because it seems to be lost. but with a diminishing supply, it is possible that prices will easily soar
it must have been thought long before anything would happen to him, he and his family were certainly not new to this and they had been in the business for a long time and knew what would happen in the absence of usable data. That's why it's clear that a smart person like him has prepared as well as possible and it's hard for us to know.

John McAfee once told his fans on Twitter that all his cryptocurrencies have disappeared. Although he admitted, not everyone would believe it.
The 76-year-old said on Twitter earlier: “I don’t have anything. But, I don’t regret it,” and pointed out: “The United States thinks I hide the cryptocurrency. I wish I had it, but ended McAfee Many people on the team lost their hands (you don’t have to believe it), and all my remaining assets have been confiscated. My friend disappeared because of fear of socializing."
Maybe he is telling the truth, but people don't want to believe it. But his death surprised me. He may have committed suicide. The news is like this. Before that, he must have done what he wanted to do, so he ended his life. When I saw the news, my heart was still very sad. Rest in peace.
This is my personal opinion.
