Hasn't all his crypto assets been given to his wife?

I read on another topic that before John McAfee died he called his wife to see him. there's no way he took all his crypto assets to death because it must be quite a large amount. His family must have secured all his assets before he died.

There are a few things that need to be remembered here. McAfee didn't took the decision to take his life all of a sudden. He was planning to commit suicide, if the court orders his deportation to the United States. When that is the case, I don't think that he will intentionally keep the private keys away from his wife. He might have told her how to access the wallet backups, when he met her for the last time. But now there is no way for the law enforcement authorities to prove this, unless his wife admits that she can access those coins.

Jhon McAfee is very influential on the internet and antivirus technology he is very smart and why smart people and those who should die in prison this will not have a good impact on crytocurrency even for a moment but we all believe still need a lot of influence from John McAfee

He is a scammer, and in a very bad way, he has wasted his money by investing in some worst projects. Presumably based on his last tweet, he was overwhelmed and destitute, and very frustrated with life, Which led him to commit suicide. He had no remorse for his misdeeds. After all, I think the rest of his assets have been confiscated and I don't think he has any investment in any good cryptocurrency other than shitcoin.

Jhon McAfee has been one of the bigges figures involved in the crypto world and today he dies in Spanish Prison. I feel really bad for this news, rest in peace McAfee.

But someone has to ask it, what will happen with his cryptos, we can be sure he was holding a huge amount, so, let's keep an eye close to this topic.

We will always remember you as an awesome guy.

but it's possible that someone else has access to it whether it's his family or his closest or most trusted person, but we also don't know who McAfee gave access to his crypto wealth. It is possible that his wealth in crypto will be confiscated by the authorities. they will dig up all the information needed to be able to open access to McAfee's wallet because that is the protocol that must be done.
But maybe some families know I don't know.

McAfee's death in prison by suicide is very sad news, he has given up on his life. even though he is a genius and full of controversial figures.

It seems that his coins are lost. I personally also write all my wallet data in a book but my family still don't know about it. I think I should tell my family about it so they can access it too. He is a businessman, so I think his family is already rich and maybe don't need more money, so in my opinion there is probability that his coins are completely unaccessible.

What if his wife is not saying the truth? If she admits that she can access those coins, then they will be seized by the FBI (because most of the coins were earned through scams in 2017 and 2018). His wife may be having the private key with her to access those wallets. But she is not going to spend them, unless those coins can be mixed and then washed. I really don't think that someone like McAfee would keep the wallet backups to himself without sharing them with his spouse. For those who were scammed by McAfee, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. They are not going to get any compensation.

That is indeed an interesting question. I recently saw a documentary about him and his life. I think he was quite paranoid at the end and had trusted only a few. If he still owned crypto - there were always rumors that he was actually broke - I think he took it to the grave. I can't imagine that he would have deposited his private keys somewhere, because he always had to expect that the FBI would find out about him and confiscate his virtual assets.

Does he have any holdings? probably he gave his private key to one of his family members. Anyway, if he doesn't give it to anyone it's probably one of the lost coins out there. Well rest in peace to McAfee I think it's not a suicide, he tweeted a lot of times that if he killed himself that's not him.

We'll have to wait for the autopsy report. If he was alone in his cell, there's no way he could be somewhat murdered.

And that "call" could also be interpreted as "news of his death", and not a phone call. Sometimes people tend to hide messages in their statements.

Quote
SANT ESTEVE SESROVIRES, Spain — The widow of John McAfee, the British-American tycoon who died in a Spanish prison this week while awaiting extradition to the United States, said Friday that her husband was not suicidal when she last spoke to him hours before he was found dead.

“His last words to me were ‘I love you and I will call you in the evening,’” Janice McAfee told reporters outside the Brians 2 penitentiary northwest of Barcelona where she recovered her late husband’s belongings.

“Those words are not words of somebody who is suicidal,” she added in her first public remarks since the software entrepreneur’s death on Wednesday.

Given that he has long been under the close supervision of law enforcement agencies, he most likely secured his assets, but not the fact that he foresaw such an outcome of events. Perhaps the main part of his crypto assets is now lost forever, because protecting them from prying eyes, you hide them from all your loved ones.

If no one knows his private keys then all his coins are lost. We would never be able to know because we do not know his wallet addresses.

This is a concerning aspect of crypto for which i will create a new topic to discuss.

It is a good question actually. Because we don't know whether he shared his private keys etc. with someone before he died. In my opinion, he did it but didn't want anyone to hear about it. If he didn't do it, then all of his coins will be gone forever.

What are the chances that a 75-year old would not keep wallet backups to access his coins, in case something happens to him? In the unlikely scenario of him not doing that, it is going to be a loss for his family members and relatives. But how many coins did he own? And I am sure that the vast majority of these coins were earned through unfair means (by pumping scam projects). So if these coins are inaccessible now, then I am perfectly OK with it. My only regret is that those cryptocurrency users who got scammed by McAfee will never receive any reimbursement for their losses.

McAfee has more than 40 children, I'm sure one of them knows the secret that is owned by McAfee and is burdened with the responsibility to distribute McAfee's inheritance.
A lot of money when the ICO was very popular and McAfee became an advisor and became a supporter of several projects.
I am sure that he would've split it among his children if he really has a lot of crypto and if he really has a lot of kids. I don't think that they have to worry about the distribution of inheritance because I am sure that McAfee probably has a lawyer that will do the work for him. To answer the question, I think that if he did have those we speculate, I think that he has already given it or used it in some form.

Once a man, twice a child!
I thought of this too and I came to the irrefutable conclusion that for a man who was a proponent of privacy, (he also expressed it with the Ghost token by McAfee). Does anyone here remember that expedition with GHOST, and how horribly he left it? I believe he secured his bag very well with that. Again, he had enough time to tie up loose ends and pass vital information to his trusted allies (may be some side chicks too, as a gross womaniser that he was) while he was still in prison, knowing the precarious situation he was in. It's just the same way any old man should know that once they begin to fall sick in and out that the moment of demise is close by. McAfee would've passed that important message down before exiting. Otherwise, it would be a shame that he didn't despite available knowledge he had.

On the time i had heard such news i thought that it was just all some trolling or false news or something but it was actually true where McAfee had died and its true that information about his death wasnt really that clear and lots of controversial on where most people been saying or seeing the same thing which do also boggles out my mind.Whatever the things that he had done on this market where majority is really being hating him then we should just set aside for it for now and at least showing off some condolences on this guy.
He might have some bad reputation on this market but he's still need some respect and about his holdings then it none of our business
it if it was inherited or totally lost.

 Shocked

I confess that I didn't know that, having so many children seems to even one of those African peasant leaders who all they know how to do is have many children in the villages

I'm sure one of them knows the secret that is owned by McAfee and is burdened with the responsibility to distribute McAfee's inheritance.

I doubt he told, he was not the type of person who wanted to have family ties, the fact that he had 40 children shows that

A lot of money when the ICO was very popular and McAfee became an advisor and became a supporter of several projects.

had a lot of money and went broke

First of all, we clearly grieve for what has happened, all his actions have been carried out with what has been received and it is a form of what has been done himself. we must forget anything that has ever been made that may not always be fun, let the good things we remember for him.

I don't believe that someone as smart as him would give up his crypto, without notifying those he really trusted. it is clear that this has been done but we don't really need to question it because it is not appropriate and appropriate. let this be a separate story in the future.
