John McAfee Dies In Spain Jail.
2021-06-24 | Big Bob
The controversial crypto booster, John McAfee, has died in what’s preliminarily being called a suicide
within a prison in Barcelona. El Pais was primary to
reveal the news. Prison sources
revealed that the autopsy is being planned.
McAfee was awaiting extradition to the United States for tax fraud, which the Spanish
High court-authorized just this morning.
“Everything indicates that it
might be a death by suicide,” the Catalan DOJ [Department of Justice] outlined within an official statement.
In line with an October 2020 indictment by the United States DOJ [Department of Justice], “McAfee earned millions in income from promoting
crypto assets, consulting work, speaking engagements, and selling the rights to his
biography for a documentary.”
Within an extradition hearing earlier this month, McAfee claimed that the extradition efforts were politically motivated.
He faced
a total of 10 years of imprisonment for allegedly cheating his
way out of $4Mln.
McAfee was arrested earlier in October last year at Barcelona’s El Prat airport as he prepared to board a flight to Turkey,
consistent with El País.
Also within a November 2020 interview with Spanish journal El Diario, McAfee added that “Life in Spanish prisons is like living
in a Hilton compared to the surreal submissive and dehumanizing conditions
of any other American prisons.”
McAfee was a controversial figure
within the later years of his life, participating in illegal “pump and dump” schemes
as well as being paid to promote a number of ICOs [Initial Coin Offerings], without disclosing those payments.
