John McAfee's Untimely Death
John McAffee, the famous creator of the McAfee Antivirus that helped him build a huge fortune, became a huge fan of BitCoin the second it appeared on the market. Why? Well, having evaded paying taxes for more than 10 years, he greeted Bitcoin with open arms, along with the financial freedom and safety that came with it.
He even predicted that by 2020 Bitcoin would be worth $500,000. That didn’t happen, of course, but Bitcoin did reach the price of roughly $9,200, proving that McAfee was right in supporting the new currency.
Still, the U.S. Department of Justice got to him and John McAfee was imprisoned in Spain. Having spent 8 months in prison, he was found dead in his cell. The case was an apparent suicide, but his followers weren’t convinced as John McAfee had previously stated that he would never do such a thing.
