John McAfee, Antivirus Software Creator, Found Dead In Spanish Prison Cell
McAfee was set to be extradited from Spain to the U.S. to face tax evasion charges.
McAfee, 75, reportedly died by suicide on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after the Spanish high court authorized his extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges, Reuters reported.
McAfee faced charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which alleged he made over $23.1 million in undisclosed income from false and misleading cryptocurrency recommendations.

What a crazy life...
In 2016, McAfee was dealing with the fallout of an unsolved 2012 murder case in Belize in which he’d been named a “person of interest.” He denied any involvement in the death, telling USA Today in 2015 a Central American hit squad was pursuing him for his criticism of the Belize government.
McAfee fled the Caribbean country by boat for Guatemala, where, after he was arrested for illegally entering the country, he told ABC he faked a heart attack to avoid being extradited back to Belize. The stunt bought his lawyers enough time to file an appeal, and he was eventually deported to the U.S. instead of Belize. McAfee was never arrested or charged in the case.
Upon his return, McAfee immediately began a relationship with Janice Dyson, a former prostitute whom he married in 2013. After a fallout, Dyson left McAfee, only to return after she says she was blackmailed into facilitating a kidnapping plot which she alternately helped and hindered.
