The last info that we have regarding his riches is that it was seized or that it was gone due to some bad investments. I’m sure he still have some crypto in his stash, but even if the law enforcement finds it, they would not be able to access it at all. Perhaps consider it lost in the void just like any other stashes out there that have been lost due to forgotten passwords or drive failure.
I don't think John McAfee had any decent amounts of money at the time of his death, including in cryptocurrency. Among his most recent tweets, he stated that he had no money left. Some of them were actually confiscated by the relevant US authorities. One might not believe him, but the very fact of his suicide after that indicates that this time he seems to have told the truth. Due to the lack of money, he did not see a positive way out of this situation. Considering that he was already 75 years old, he clearly imagined that he would never get out alive. Therefore, I decided to take such a step. 
Topic: John McAfee is dead, are his coins lost? - page 5. (Read 737 times)
John McAfee had lost most of his wealth during the last few years.
He made more money from his anti-virus software,rather than investing in cryptocurrencies.
I couldn't care less about his coins.Perhaps he has some worthless shitcoins in his accounts.
I really doubt that he has any BTC left.

Though I'm not saying it's impossible, I mean, if I personally had a crap ton of money in cryptocurrencies as well and I was to be prosecute by the US government, I'd probably say the same thing.
Maybe he is saying the truth and that he really did lost all of his crypto fortune already, now that I think about it, Epstein allegedly committed suicide in his cell too so I think there's a conspiracy behind McAfee's death too. 
Jhon McAfee has been one of the bigges figures involved in the crypto world
Haha... Nope.He was promoting scams, pyramid schemes ICOs. He was a big figure, yeah, but no in the “crypto world”*. He's known for being the father of antiviruses, at least that's how I remember him.
*Should you define that “world”? What exactly is the “crypto world”? The cryptocurrency industry? The cryptographic mailing lists? A guy's, named “crypto”, world?
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.
I hope he had lots of BTC in his wallet(s). They are probably lost.After all, he lived his life with cocaine and lot of sex. The dream of every Wall Street broker. Once he found out about the extradition, he knew what was going to face.
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.

I don’t know what JM did for the crypto community to consider him one of the greatest or awesome people? The man has always been surrounded by bad stories, suspicious business moves, murder charges, illegal possession of weapons and has been in various prisons several times for it.
In addition, his promotion of cryptocurrencies will be remembered through the shilling of various scam projects via Twitter, which he charged dearly for - and the deceptions and lies he used. Many have lost everything they had because of him, and they will certainly not remember him for anything good.
I have no sympathy for such people, but I would have much preferred him to have been convicted before his death - and if he really killed himself, then he has shown that he was a coward who was afraid to face the truth.
John had his issues, but he was a character. I imagine he would have fit in here nicely.
Am sure his survived by a wife and kids, and since he knew crypto has no forget password to retrieve them, chances are he shared these private keys with her... if not then these coins are lost and forgotten.
If he went down with the private keys then as crypto users we haven't done much to put in measures to retrieve such information,and consider these to be some of the flaws of crypto imo.

he tweeted his crypto fortune are all gone, it's not really for sure if it's true. he may have set aside some for his kids or his wife. a father would think that way when they know the authorities are about to get him, he probably had given some.
if not then it's lost. he probably has lots of BTC and ETH, he got about $23M for ICO promotion alone. I can still see some of those he promoted still alive.

As far as i read somewhere that he did not posses any coins / crypto. Although this statement is not believable. However, if he had crypto and bitcoin in his wallet and he had not shared his seed with anyone, than we can consider those crypto to be lost forever.
Anyways, its a sad news of his demise. Rest in Peace !!

This is probably the likely thing to happen to his coins, and if this was really the case, then he did a great service to bitcoin market as a whole because he contributed to the permanent increase of price in bitcoin. 
I've been looking at the news and there's his wife that's giving a statement about how she was ordered to poison him. So that made me think that what if John has already made a last will testament and it's going to her wife including his cryptos and portfolios that he owns, those that are never seized. And he has taught her how to gain access to it if the situation comes that they're not expecting and that situation did really came to them recently.
for sure, we will be hearing a lot of stories or conspiracy stories from here and there. but he already knew his situation and if he had coins left, maybe, he already left it to his children as he claimed before he fathered about 47 children. at least one or two, may have benefited his wealth and also to his wife.
i believe, we will never hear the truth about his wealth. maybe years from now, if in case his close members of the family will tell the truth. but right now, people will just speculate on things. and if those coins are still on his possession, consider it lost as we dont know if he left the keys to someone to recover those coins

His coins will be in his wallet, especially if he stores his coins in the hardware wallet. But if someone who knows John McAfee better than other people knows about his wallet key and knows where he stores that wallet, that person will access the wallet and use his money. I wonder what will happen to the market after his death, but he can rest in peace now without doing something for the crypto market.
Whether he knew it or not but he promoted many of the projects which were turned out to be a scam. I don't think he had any interest in crypto or bitcoin but he saw it as an opportunity and took it to make more money. If he had any crypto then I am sure he had given the information to his wife but as he tweeted, he might not have anything.
Anyways, Rest In Peace.
Anyways, Rest In Peace.
I was very sad to learn of McAfee's death. I honestly did not expect it. I have been reading the tweets of him in some of them he showed deep sadness.
I also remember that the defense at some point asked the authorities to take his age into consideration so that he was released. There was no success and now McAffe is dead.
In this tweet posted he was claiming that he had no hidden crypto.
RIP John McAffe

The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association.
I have nothing.
Yet, I regret nothing.

If ever he was probably it would remain hidden. He said the asset he got was all seized, but we knew how crypto works. Theres a lot of way he could save some on secrecy. For me I dont believe everything goes to zero. Those millions are probably spent but he woulndt drop it all since he got a family will bw left behind in case goes down to shit.
Even we make a poll here probably it will be majority thinks that he still has som crypto asset. He could lie when he mentioned its all gone. Even his wife could lie if she asked if there is any left by John.
But lets this conspiracy to pandora's box and let John rest in peace.

I firmly believe so, his wife has long been trusted by McAfee to manage the coins he holdsafter all, a husband will definitely tell all his secrets to his wife
I'm still wondering how much he holds and whether it's all in 1 wallet
I am deeply saddened by the passing of John McAfee, RIP
Such a big character as Jhon McAfee, I think this matter was prepared by him before bad things happened.
It is possible that the asset will be confiscated and controlled, but with crypto assets, it is almost impossible to control it if Jhon McAfee does not want anyone to have access to it.

Nice joke bro.He came into popularity back in 2017 and his popularity vanished just as fast it came when he started scamming people and when ICO craze ended. He practically disappeared from "crypto world" when the 2018 bear market started.

A better question is whether he owned any cryptocurrencies at all. As I remember it back in 2017 he was getting paid mainly USD to advertise ICO scams on his twitter and when he was pump and dumping shitcoins he would have cashed out fiat in the end.He also didn't believe in or care about bitcoin as it is evident from his actions, he was in "crypto world" to make as much money as he could quickly.

I don't want to speak ill of the dead but we will remember him as a scammer. 
The last tweet of john Mcafee he said i have nothing yet I regret nothing, a very sad moments came a week after his tweet. I still believe that he still have a crypto asset but he did not tell it to anyone. The only person who can make a statement about his crypto now is his wife, Maybe she know something the only person we can also trust is our wife.
We may or may not believe John that he didn't have cryptocurrencies anymore, but I guess it is not an issue. His death may be surprising to us but it wasn't for him. He didn't just die all of a sudden. He probably took his own life, at least that's what the news is. Supposing it was true, he must have already ironed things out regarding his wealth prior to him committing suicide. It's a lot easier to transfer crypto ownership than wealth on fiat, stocks, or bonds. It doesn't even need a lawyer.
