Antivirus Pioneer John McAfee Commits Suicide

[2double0]

It was shocking to hear that McAfee committed suicide but I didn't know the reasons before (didn't know he was sentenced to prison for tax evasion). His death was already decided by him through his nonsense statements that he used to give under the impact of his ego. Though, let him RIP and never come back in this world so not to commit the same things again.

Since I have seen the controversial documentary film - Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee and all the things he did in Belize.. I expected something bad to happen to him in the future. The guy lived a very full life and he had little boundaries when it came to illegal actions.

It is unfortunate for a person to fly that high and then to crash like this... but "Money" got the better of him and not paying taxes to get more money... was the absolute worst decision he could have ever made. 

I don't really care whether he paid his taxes on time, or not. My issue is that he made losses amounting to hundreds of millions of USD to cryptocurrency users by promoting scam projects. And the worst part was that he mocked the victims and made fun of them saying that they shouldn't have trusted him in the first place. Back in Brazil, he was accused of murdering his neighbor. I think that he got blinded with all the power and money that he got and became arrogant. But then, he forgot that there is something called Karma.

Considering the contributions he made, the history made will always be given importance. The felony he committed to God will be something made questionable since before he did the deed, he was sentenced to prison due to tax evasion. It's more of a like he is trying to escape that's why he did what he did. Nevertheless, suicide and death is a sensitive topic and hearing about his passing is something to be regretted for. Maybe he could acheived a lot more if he is still living right now but we can't do anything about it anymore, may his soul rest in peace now and all his sins be forgotten.

Nothing can be done anymore aside from giving his family the privacy that they needed in this moment, staying away from any thing that may harmed those love ones that he left, his addition to the tech industry should be acknoledge while those negative things that he did from the past especially with crypto industry needs now to be burried with him.

He choose or he just dont have any other options, whatever it the reason might be everything now  dies with him.

It's such a pity. The world has lost a great person. Suicidal ideation is a severe symptom of depression. I read he was put under a suicide watch due to a failed suicidal attempt. My question is, why wasn't he placed in a therapeutic restraints for someone with a history?
Well, he's dead now we probably won't hear this side of the story.
I pray his soul finds peace.

Maybe he'd rather die than live in prison.  A very influential person in the field of technology and he is also a software expert.  Maybe he was ashamed of living in prison.  Life in prison will also make him a long-lasting frustration.

John McAfee was an expert but he messed up big time promoting scam projects and if you were in the market during the ICO boom you would know that as he promoted scam projects and many fell for the trap thinking he did his research before promoting them but later came to know that he would promote anything if anyone pays him.

I am not buying that he committed suicide and we might not know the truth.

I admit that John McAfee is very smart so he can create an antivirus, and also McAfee has very good knowledge about the crypto world.
But unfortunately McAfee's intelligence is used by him to make a lot of money by promoting scam projects, this is very detrimental to many
people who are deceived by the promotions he do. Whereas if McAfee uses his intelligence for positive things, I believe he will not end up
in prison and not suffer a fairly tragic death. Indeed only John McAfee knew the real reason why he decided to commit suicide, I most likely
agree with the opinion that he is stressed and frustrated having to accept the reality of being in prison.

Well.. it is funny.. If someone steals $10, then the society will label him as a thief. On the other hand, if someone steals $10 million, then he will be recalled as a "great person" or as a legend. John McAfee did a lot of positive contributions in the field of antivirus protection. But his overall involvement with cryptocurrency was mostly negative, and his promotions resulted in huge losses for those who followed his advice. And the worst thing was that McAfee actually mocked his victims, saying that they were stupid to trust him.

I also think like that. he is smart and has a lot of money. life in prison I don't think it will degrade his psychology, considering the many experiences he has gone through, and of course not all of them are sweet, but we don't know what is going on, he can do anything with his money.

In my opinion, he was too egoistic to admit his defeat. He chose death over deportation to the United States. A lot of people have posted various conspiracy theories related to his death. Some even claim that he was killed by the illuminati. But for me, it is clear what happened with McAfee. He was able to stay immune from the authorities for many decades. But when they caught up with him, he could not get adjusted with the new reality. It was his choice, and now let's stop blaming others for what he did.
