John McAfee, the pioneer creator of popular computer antivirus software, has died in an apparent suicide at a Spanish prison, on the day that a court approved his extradition to the U.S. on tax evasion charges.
McAfee, 75, was found dead on Wednesday afternoon in his cell in Brians 2 Prison in Barcelona, with officials saying that the early investigation points to a suicide, the Catalan justice department said.
It came just hours after a Spanish court approved McAfee's extradition to the United States, where he is wanted on tax-related criminal charges that carry a prison sentence of up to 30 years.
McAfee still had opportunities to appeal his conviction but could not stand more time in jail, his lawyer Javier Villalba told Reuters.
'This is the result of a cruel system that had no reason to keep this man in jail for so long,' Villalba said.
Villalba said that McAfee had committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell.

WNU Editor: He was an eccentric person. I hated his software. But like the death of Epstein, Mcafee's death is going to raise a lot of questions, doubts, and speculation.
There is zero trust in any government in the world. Governments are seen as oppressors of the people. This is the result of a corrupt and controlled media, who have betrayed mankind by their lies and propaganda.

ReplyDeleteTrust in government and media is at historic low. It wasn't that bad ever.
Biden just said if people rise against the tyrannical government they'd need nukes
Excuse me you pedophile repulsive creep, traitor, liar and more.. to take you out, all I need is a backbone
There's billions of oppressed people hungry for freedom and a system that works for them
The illegitimate Us government of today are very very close to be hung publicly. They know it. And That's why they hide behind barbed wire fences... that's why they use suppression of speech, suppression of gathering or marching in your Capitol
They're thugs and criminals and billions will rejoice when these warmongers, criminals, pedophiles and drug pushers will hang
And the corrupt media is next. Thrill be burned alive when people find out how long this has been going on and how many ideas CNN and the WAPo and NYTIMES destroyed. We are talking of crimes against humanity and the penalty is death by public hanging
Don't let them escape. Freedom is near
Nothing really strange here, he was a very unstable person.
