He was a true character! I bet they’ll make a movie (movies?) about him!
May be Rest In Peace. I know his life the last decade has not been peaceful….

He warned this was going to happen. He said he wouldn't kill himself and if found dead it's the government.

I had no idea he was in a Spanish prison. Oh well, no need to remember where he is going forward.

Spain had just approved his extradition to the US on tax evasion charges.

Had they kept him in 2 cells, then not likely.

I think that very creative fellow lived on the edge throughout his life which drove him to success, and made him a target. I would like to have known him.

Maybe the FBI will finally nab the Clintons this time.

I suspect suicide in this case tbh. I know everyone is a fan of conspiracies, but the guy at BEST was something similar to bipolar, and I think that is an understatement of his mental issues. If a gov' was going to kill him, they wouldn't have done it right when extradition was approved, they would have just killed him. He definitely had a history of heavy mood swings.

Either the combination of being a nutcase + stress at age 75 naturally killed him from the added load of the extradition realization, or he committed suicide.

Undoubtedly politics plays a role in the extradition, but politics plays a role in the entirety of our judicial system, so I'm not sure it's significant. Lol.


ETA: McAfee reminds me of a repeat customer we had. Constantly swearing the government was after him, he was a much bigger deal than (he really was), he was a much bigger celebrity in his mind (than he really was) etc. etc. and I'm referring to both McAfee and our customer. Not sure what the mental illness is, but it's something.

He's not dead. He's still running in the background.

Yes...a virus named Hillary.

He did try getting into politics. He had to have some dirt on the Clintons.

He was a kooky dude. He was actually in my home once years ago. I didn't meet him, but my wife has a few interesting stories.

I don’t think there’s much chance he killed himself… I tend to think he either died of a heart attack or some other medical event that was probably stress induced, or someone else offed him. As was mentioned earlier, It was highly unlikely to be the US govt since they were about to have their way with him after all the years he was evading them… they wanted their money not blood.

According to Reuters... "McAfee's lawyer, Javier Villalba, said the anti-virus software pioneer died by hanging as his nine months in prison brought him to despair."

He knew computers. I figure he got some data from a computer that he should not have accessed. Usually anything overseas is fair game. The only winning move is not to play...
