I think Dude doesn't wanna pay his Taxes.

Well the only guarantees in life are death and taxes…so he still paid full price.

“I regret that I have but one life to give in the cause of dodging taxes.” What an idiot.

I'm assuming the right is already blaming the Clinton's somehow? Biden's?

 

[Wreckem]

Got away with murder in a third world county. Couldn’t get away with tax evasion in a first world country.

 

[AnitaPeterson]

Wow... This guy was once a hero. And he lived long enough to see himself become a villain.

 

[brycejones]

RIP

 

[Homerboy]

So why does he keep warning me, my subscription (that I never had) is immediately running out!

Psst! I know he hasn''t had anything to do with the company, like forever.

He used to be quite the psychonaught at one time. Maybe he spent a little too much time in edge city.

WOW, didn't even read the entire headline in the OPs link.

 

[ivwshane]

Nope! That’s how little I cared that he died.

 

[Thump553]

A sad ending to a f*cked up life.

 

[Pohemi]

He mighta blamed it on the taxes, but they would have been extraditing him for securities fraud as well, so it wasn't just the IRS that wanted him in the states.

Watched a Showtime documentary a couple years back about his years in Belize. If the people interviewed in that were telling the truth, he was guilty of at least one murder, and possibly others. He denied it, of course.

Bullshit. He's already killed himself in Spain and in Mexico.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

I'm sure his death will result in the news going...... viral.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Perhaps it was really just an accident and he was trying to accomplish something and it snapped his neck or something?

In July 2017, McAfee wrote on Twitter that he predicted that the price of one bitcoin would jump to $500,000 within three years, and "If not, I will eat my own dick on national television"

When was he ever a 'hero'? From what I've heard he was a crazy-person at best, and arguably a monster.

Doc I just watched 1/2 of said he was very into substances, all kinds from alcohol to DMT to some bizarre psychoactive stimulant aphrodisiacs, had a lot of super bizarre relationships with prostitutes, plus he went authoritarian on Belize, evidently, and was something of a gun nut. He obviously was really into putting people on, was clever, had a sense of humor and had a lot of fun. I'm sure a lot more. He had $100,000,000 to burn through when he sold off McAfee Antivirus and evidently burned through a whole lot of it pretty indiscriminately.
