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.

RIP, John McAfee.
I used his anti-virus program for many years.
Somewhere. A guy that smart, yet consistently a victim of the last person he talked to. Too many hobgoblins.
Listen carefully Antivirus came later based on his PC utilities.
Wikipedia says the following: “When McAfee was 15, his father, an abusive alcoholic, committed suicide by gunshot.”
McAfee’s father was an American serviceman and his mother was British.
Listen carefully antivirus came BEFORE viruses were an issue. He sold BASELESS FEAR.
Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm.

Merely your opinion.
No. Not an opinion at all. When they first started taking out full page ads about the “dangers” of viruses the vast majorities of PCs never talked to another computer. There was NO virus danger. They sold baseless fear. That is an indisputable fact.
At this point, the Deep State is simply showing off.
