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.

He had a wife, though. They've been on the run together for a long time. I'm not entirely sure he'd trust his money to her, as he, indeed, was more of an introvert and rather paranoid. He didn't even call any of his relatives to say goodbye, many of his actions came out as a surprise to the close ones.

But, nevertheless, there is a possibility he trusted her more than anyone else.

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.

This man was a security expert and he was always talking about having a dead man switch plan in place. He either ran out of coins or if he had any left then you have to believe his loved ones will have access to his stash. Either way this is a sad story. RIP John

A sad story from whatever side you look at it. I think this guy was sentenced even before he goes to jail and no one will say for certain what and why exactly. Maybe because he "knew too much", maybe because he attracted someone's money in dubious projects and they turned out to be a dummy, and he did not want to be responsible for other people's decisions. And you can think of many more of these "can" and they will all be equally far from the truth. It's a pity for the guy, because he was a rather odious figure and an interesting person and definitely did not deserve such a death. Maybe someday we will find out the truth about this, but definitely not now. And what happened to his coins - I personally am less interested in this.

we are only faced with confusing news without clarity. from this point of view and from this family side. to not find a bright spot about the whereabouts of John's willed assets. it is clear that it will spark controversy with news stories according to the mainstream media version.
regardless of the news we received, hopefully, it doesn't fall into evil hands and there's no confiscation from the government. because if it falls into irresponsible hands it will tarnish Bitcoin with all alibis to be used as strong evidence.

too much unclear information about the controversy over John McAfee's death...

True, i have been searching some certain information about how it happens and there is not much information. But jails have cameras, the truth should come soon. and if it doesn't come the reason is that it was a murder. The lawyer is waiting for the autopsy to proceed with legal actions.

And the words from Snowden are something to worry about, he said the next one could be Assange Sad

let's see what happens.

too much unclear information about the controversy over John McAfee's death. some say that all the coins he owned were confiscated due to making some bad investments some say they were lost.
but whatever it is, I don't know much about it, that's for sure, even if there are some missing coins, of course there are still ones that he keeps regardless if other people know it or not
Then maybe his fate, yes, we don't know for sure if anyone else knows about the wallet he has, of course it has changed hands or he has inherited it before he died.
but if not, then you know what's the answer

Shocked to hear this, may he die in peace. I don't even know why he went to jail. Even what the fault. But I'm sure he will be a legend before Elon Musk. Too bad I haven't been following him much lately, last I heard he supports several ETH, Monero and DAI coins. In addition he became an influencer on the ICO project. Regarding the issue of losing coins, I don't know but I think since he was imprisoned he should start giving his family records regarding assets and private keys.

Hold until you die. Get buried with your crypto. Diamond hands. Worthless Cheesy

What to do, what to do??? If you don't tell anyone your key, your crypto dies with you. If you do tell someone your keys, they might rip you off and squander it on some BS.

Then again, even if you do tell someone, they might lose that info and it will still be lost.

Popular influencers, tech-guru and anti-virus creator John McAfee found dead in a Spanish prison cell. Super rich guy gets arrested then committed suicide even though he is known as whales in crypto industry. His tattoo grew up conspiracy, however few thing we will never know. John McAfee was a smart influencers, I doubt he has any left.

John McAfee was wise and very popular of what he has possess during his life here. I think he has a last will testament before he died. In my opinion, he won't allowed his investment and wealth to bury with him. I also agree that some conspiracy testament and news may come out.

His last Tweets say he doesn't have anything left, or that they are all with McAfee (the company) and all gone. He would have taken care of all that already with his lawyers long before this, so I doubt there's anything left that's locked.

His daughter seemed the most active campaigner of all so I bet she's the one who knows most where his stash is, if there's any left.

I think someone as seasoned with crypto as McAfee would have a way to keep his crypto from being meaninglessly lost. Inheritance is bound to happen and we don't know-how. Maybe he wrote a will or entrusted someone to manage the property for him. He has many friends in the crypto space.

A terrible thing. Even though I didn't always like his pump&dumps, I somehow admired him.

I don't know if you know, but the initial information is that he hanged himself. It looks weird considering what he wrote on Twitter some time ago ..

I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with the coins he own, but the situation is quite strange.

Maybe he didn't give his family passwords and two-factor authentication codes. Maybe he was worried they would clean him out and squander his cryptofunds on whatever. Maybe he didn't trust them enough.

McAfee was a very important and influential figure in Crypto and was also in the past an expert in computer software and must have taken the necessary precautions before his death in order for his family to inherit his huge fortune in cryptocurrencies, surely he gave his family passwords and two-factor authentication codes to access his accounts or wallets.
If he hadn't done it earlier and gave his family this important data then I think McAfee's digital fortune was lost forever because he died in prison and he certainly wouldn't give the cops any real information to get access to his accounts and wallets.

All Bitcoin and Ethereum will be lost, given enough time. That is just a fact. Maybe he instructed someone how to gain access to his crypto, then again maybe he didn't.

jhon mcaffe is a very extraordinary man, his genius is recognized by all countries, he has worked at nasa,, some say he died of poisoning, there is also news that says he died by suicide, a lot of confusing news about his death,, but we will always remember you, because you are an extraordinary man,, about bitcoin can be withdrawn or not, maybe all of that we should ask his family,,

McAfee is known as one of the world's leading anti-virus software pioneers and the world knows him, and he was reportedly found dead by suicide in a prison in Barcelona, Spain.
many stories and cases were made by him and also became a controversy for being a fake crypto teacher to allegedly killing his neighbor and so on, and his death is still a question mark because he has stated that he cannot stand in prison.
for bitcoin or other crypto holdings I don't care because we won't know the truth like he does.

I am not sure that people should remember him as an "awesome guy". John had a lot of negative qualities about him that I think was a negative for a good chunk of people. One thing that he did that I'd say is hard to justify him as a "good guy" is his involvement with quite a few scammy types of cryptocurrencies.

He stated recently while in prison that he has no coins left to his name. Whether that is true or not is probably impossible to say.

Evil beware: We have waffles!

To paraphrase what Davis196 said above, who the f**k cares and why? Morbid curiosity?
The dude was a 1st class jerk who bankrupted himself and on the way down took a lot of investors with him.

He always liked those anonymous coins. If he did have any coins left, he probably had coins like Monero.
