Antivirus software tycoon John McAfee died by an apparent suicide in a Spanish jail cell Wednesday evening — hours after reports surfaced that he would be extradited to face federal charges in the US, according to local media.

The eccentric tech entrepreneur was arrested in October and was awaiting extradition when he was found dead, police sources told the newspaper El Pais.

The newspaper reported McAfee was pulled from his cell in Barcelona and police are investigating the circumstances around his death.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Spanish High Court had agreed to extradite McAfee, who has been charged with a number of federal financial crimes in two districts in the United States.

McAfee didn’t kill himself, any more than Epstein did.

With him I won’t even believe it if I see a body.

This guy is resourceful and would totally fake his death.

Legitimate crime or just another corrupt DOJ/FBI witchhunt?

Deep State has no allegiance to those puppets who are no longer useful or a threat to them. Loose ends get tied up quick...

From the article:

McAfee was hit with a 10-count indictment in the Western District of Tennessee in October for allegedly evading taxes on millions of dollars in income.

He was also charged in a separate indictment in Manhattan federal court in March for a pump and dump scheme involving cryptocurrencies that he was touting on social media.

Months after his body is removed, he will still be popping up telling you that his subscription needs to be renewed.

This is actually more believable than he got Epsteined - but from all indications, he had issues.

There was a time when McAfee antivirus was among the best products on the market.

Weird.

Somewhere in Hell…

McAfee to Epstein: Well they got me too. Just like they got you.

Epstein: It was just a matter of time.
