John McAfee committed suicide after the decision to extradite to the United States

John McAfee, the founder of antivirus software company, was found dead in his cell inSpanish prison, local newspaper ElMundo. On the morning of the same day, a Spanish court upheld the decision to extradite McAfee to the United States, where he was being prosecuted for tax fraud and other crimes.

"All indications are that it could have been suicide.", - reported in the Department of Justice of Catalonia.

John McAfee was known to many as a propagandistbitcoin. In 2017, he announced that he was ready to eat his genitals if BTC did not reach $ 500,000 by the end of 2020. Then he raised the rate to $ 1 million. However, in January last year, the businessman unexpectedly retracted his promise and began to criticize Bitcoin.

Late 2020 US Department of Justicepublished an accusation against McAfee, according to which he "made millions from promoting cryptocurrencies, consulting, speaking as a speaker and selling the rights to documentary on the history of his life."

He was also charged by the Commission onthe US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), linking McAfee to the illegal promotion of initial coin offerings (ICOs). Among other things, the members of the crypto community remembered him for the publications of "Coins of the Day" at the end of 2017 on Twitter, which was actually a "pump-and-dump" scheme.

A week ago, McAfee announced that the decision on hisextradition to the United States was politically motivated. He also wrote that he did not have any cryptocurrency assets left. He was arrested in October 2020 at Barcelona airport while trying to fly to Istanbul.

In a November interview with Spanish newspaper El Diario, McAfee reported:

"Life in a Spanish prison is akin to life in the Hilton when compared to the surrealistically inhuman conditions of American prisons."
