John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate and former Libertarian presidential candidate, has been indicted for tax evasion.

McAfee allegedly failed to file his taxes for four years despite earning millions in income between 2014 and 2018 from promoting cryptocurrencies, consulting work, speaking engagements, and selling the rights to his life story for a documentary, according to the indictment filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.

The indictment alleges that McAfee evaded taxes by having his income paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency accounts in the names of others, while also using the names of others to conceal ownership of property and assets including a yacht.

The amount McAfee owes was not specified in the indictment.

2. Wasn't this guy in trouble with the law

some years ago as well?

[SergeStorms]

15. The guy's insane.

Reports from Belize say he had several people murdered. He's just plain bad news, and I'm glad they finally arrested the piece of filth.

[Bev54]

18. Thanks, that brings back some memory of it

Yes, I think everyone thought he was insane. Why is it the rich rarely see consequences, we keep seeing them get away with so much over and over again.

22. So much for putting any trust in his shit "protection" racket.

3. Boy his life really took a turn for the worse, murder mayhem and taxes - someone will make a movie

one day,

21. There's already a Netflix documentary,

so you’re probably on to something.

[Ponietz]

4. Watch Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee

I saw it on Netflix several years ago. I’m surprised, and thought he’d be serving a life sentence in Belize by now.

5. Money changes everything...

6. Wikipedia articles says

he claims to have 47 children. Crazy.

[tonekat]

14. Just finished reading that entry...

...my goodness, he's a mess! Where does he get the energy?

[Sapient Donkey]

19. I'm guessing lots of cocaine

[Thrax]

7. Bath salts is a helluva drug.

8. I recently had to dispute a credit card payment with McAfee

charged me for an annual subscription I canceled 3 years ago.

[Demovictory9]

12. I bought an annual subscription a few years ago. after 2 months it expired & asked for renewal

I just gave up on it.

[SergeStorms]

16. He has nothing to do with McAfee products anymore.

He started the company, yes, but was forced to resign for being such a lowlife, crazy bastard. He hasn't had anything to do with the company since the 90s.

[Sapient Donkey]

20. I don't think you can blame him for that

He hasn't had much to do with that company in a very long time.

John McAfee, who no longer has any involvement in the company, expressed his pleasure at his name no longer being associated with the software. "I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users." However, as of 2016 the products still bore the McAfee name.

[Demovictory9]

9. didn't he kills someone and get away by fleeing his country of residence?

[Thrax]

11. He owes $25 million to the victim's family.

Which is why he's been hiding money.

[Demovictory9]

10. whenever I restart my old computer, his software changes my primary search engine to yahoo

[catsudon]

13. hmmm

i guess he is not going to eat his own dick on live tv then?

If the price of Bitcoin has not reached One Million Dollars by December 31st, 2020,
John McAfee has promised to eat his own dick on National Television.

23. At least that POS admits his virus software was CRAP. Now bring him back and lock him up!!

Jesus...your computer would run faster infected with a virus than if it was clean and had McAfee installed. I did a trial version decades ago and got that shit off my computer as fast as I could.

It's owned by Intel and a couple of others and still does billions $$$ in revenue per year by...someone buying the shit.
