Topic: John McAfee is dead, are his coins lost? - page 6. (Read 737 times)
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.
But someone has to ask it, what will happen with his cryptos, we can be sure he was holding a huge amount,
Coins lost = more scarcity for everyone
Coins given to family and friends = friends and family get to have money and live better lives
Literally a win with either situation.
Ya that news about him is very sad. I think McAfee already give he's wallet into hes familly. About the reason why he suicide i think it's because spain agree to extradition mcafee to US, she said before he's dead if he going back into US she believed she will be forever in jail.
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 do agree with this that some of his fortune is being seized by government related ICO and other investment that he doing.
But i do believe he have more than one wallet since "we" sometimes has multiple wallet and those wallet can only be access by himself and maybe the coin that he have will stay on the wallet and become other crypto burn
He tweeted this few days before his suspicious death:
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.
I have nothing.

We really don't know the truth. What's the point of his tweet? Maybe he is telling the truth that he don't have any hidden crypto. He already passed all the access to the someone or it's really seized. Or maybe his friends have it that's why they're all gone. I hope they will just take care of what McAfee left.
He tweeted this few days before his suspicious death:
I find it hard to believe him and it wouldn't be the first time he's been lying. However, we can't deny the fact that he was a smart guy and surely he has planned well how to safely pass on his crypto wealth to his family/friends after his death.

Why do you think so?
He started a long time ago shilling for useless tokens, that's one of the charges the SEC bought against him, and even when he was paid in BTC or ETH he used to immediately transfer those and cash out:
Quote
For example, McAfee and Watson transferred more than $1 million USD in digital assets to a digital asset trading platform located in this District, where the digital assets were converted to USD by Watson’s then-wife at McAfee’s and Watson’s direction. Watson’s then-wife
then sent the money to bank accounts controlled directly or indirectly by McAfee and Watson.

He was a scammer, he knew he was going to get into troubles, and despite his acts of bravado he know he was going to end up sooner or later in jail so he spends everything, I would be amazed if there is anything left out of all those millions he has got. Besides, his former wealth has already gone to dust, probably he was left with less than a million out of the 4 Forbes credited him for, that's the only explanation why he would be whoring himself at first for a few thousand dollars before entering the real scam deals with ICOs.
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.

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

Bitcoin is not like fiat, all he needed to have done is to let his family well acquainted with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If privacy was enhanced, there are a lot beyond the reach of the government which could possibly be easily accessed by his family, Bitcoin has importance in which giving freedom is part of the significance.

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.
