Given that he has long been under the close supervision of law enforcement agencies, he most likely secured his assets, but not the fact that he foresaw such an outcome of events. Perhaps the main part of his crypto assets is now lost forever, because protecting them from prying eyes, you hide them from all your loved ones.

Does he have any holdings? probably he gave his private key to one of his family members. Anyway, if he doesn't give it to anyone it's probably one of the lost coins out there. Well rest in peace to McAfee I think it's not a suicide, he tweeted a lot of times that if he killed himself that's not him.
We'll have to wait for the autopsy report. If he was alone in his cell, there's no way he could be somewhat murdered. And that "call" could also be interpreted as "news of his death", and not a phone call. Sometimes people tend to hide messages in their statements. SANT ESTEVE SESROVIRES, Spain — The widow of John McAfee, the British-American tycoon who died in a Spanish prison this week while awaiting extradition to the United States, said Friday that her husband was not suicidal when she last spoke to him hours before he was found dead. “His last words to me were ‘I love you and I will call you in the evening,’” Janice McAfee told reporters outside the Brians 2 penitentiary northwest of Barcelona where she recovered her late husband’s belongings. “Those words are not words of somebody who is suicidal,” she added in her first public remarks since the software entrepreneur’s death on Wednesday.

But someone has to ask it, what will happen with his cryptos, we can be sure he was holding a huge amount, so, let's keep an eye close to this topic.
That is indeed an interesting question. I recently saw a documentary about him and his life. I think he was quite paranoid at the end and had trusted only a few. If he still owned crypto - there were always rumors that he was actually broke - I think he took it to the grave. I can't imagine that he would have deposited his private keys somewhere, because he always had to expect that the FBI would find out about him and confiscate his virtual assets.

It seems that his coins are lost. I personally also write all my wallet data in a book but my family still don't know about it. I think I should tell my family about it so they can access it too. He is a businessman, so I think his family is already rich and maybe don't need more money, so in my opinion there is probability that his coins are completely unaccessible.

What if his wife is not saying the truth? If she admits that she can access those coins, then they will be seized by the FBI (because most of the coins were earned through scams in 2017 and 2018). His wife may be having the private key with her to access those wallets. But she is not going to spend them, unless those coins can be mixed and then washed. I really don't think that someone like McAfee would keep the wallet backups to himself without sharing them with his spouse. For those who were scammed by McAfee, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. They are not going to get any compensation.

but it's possible that someone else has access to it whether it's his family or his closest or most trusted person, but we also don't know who McAfee gave access to his crypto wealth. It is possible that his wealth in crypto will be confiscated by the authorities. they will dig up all the information needed to be able to open access to McAfee's wallet because that is the protocol that must be done. But maybe some families know I don't know.
McAfee's death in prison by suicide is very sad news, he has given up on his life. even though he is a genius and full of controversial figures.

Jhon McAfee has been one of the bigges figures involved in the crypto world and today he dies in Spanish Prison. I feel really bad for this news, rest in peace McAfee. But someone has to ask it, what will happen with his cryptos, we can be sure he was holding a huge amount, so, let's keep an eye close to this topic. We will always remember you as an awesome guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKgf5PaBzygHasn't all his crypto assets been given to his wife? I read on another topic that before John McAfee died he called his wife to see him. there's no way he took all his crypto assets to death because it must be quite a large amount. His family must have secured all his assets before he died.

He is a scammer, and in a very bad way, he has wasted his money by investing in some worst projects. Presumably based on his last tweet, he was overwhelmed and destitute, and very frustrated with life, Which led him to commit suicide. He had no remorse for his misdeeds. After all, I think the rest of his assets have been confiscated and I don't think he has any investment in any good cryptocurrency other than shitcoin.

Jhon McAfee is very influential on the internet and antivirus technology he is very smart and why smart people and those who should die in prison this will not have a good impact on crytocurrency even for a moment but we all believe still need a lot of influence from John McAfee

Hasn't all his crypto assets been given to his wife?
I read on another topic that before John McAfee died he called his wife to see him. there's no way he took all his crypto assets to death because it must be quite a large amount. His family must have secured all his assets before he died.
There are a few things that need to be remembered here. McAfee didn't took the decision to take his life all of a sudden. He was planning to commit suicide, if the court orders his deportation to the United States. When that is the case, I don't think that he will intentionally keep the private keys away from his wife. He might have told her how to access the wallet backups, when he met her for the last time. But now there is no way for the law enforcement authorities to prove this, unless his wife admits that she can access those coins.

even though that person has therapy the coins must still be stored in each of their respective accounts.because they must have bequeathed to their children and given the key code or account to the heirs of all their assets.therefore even though we have died the coins will still be there and will not be lost, unless we don't give it to our family, because of that we have to share the pin key with family or the closest people around us so that we don't keep the coins forever in our account even though he's gone later

It is not necessary that he need to provide the private keys to his spouse or some relative. Those who are having a few years of experience might have heard about " dead man's switch". Some of the wallets have this option. If the wallet is not logged in for a specific period set by the owner (6 months, 12 months or even 24 months), then after this duration the coins will be transferred to a "nominee wallet" which has been previously selected by the owner. So the spouse or the relative doesn't need any new information to access these coins. After a certain duration, they will receive the coins in their wallet.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned in this thread ... but John had a financial assistant a couple of years ago who had access to his wallets. I'm not sure about his bitcoin wallets, but as a primary source, I can reliably say that in 2017, during one unpleasant incident, McAfee stated not ambiguously that a third party had access to his altcoin wallets. By the way, despite the fact that during his lifetime he was a swindler and a liar ... RIP 🕯️.

There is nothing like a risk-free option. For example, let's take an example. You opt for this option, and set your cousin's wallet address as the receiver if your wallet becomes inactive for more than 6 months. And after sometime, you simply forget that you have to login to this wallet. In such case, your funds will be automatically moved to your cousin's wallet address. Or let's take another example. You met with an accident and slips in to a coma for 6-7 months. In this case also, your coins will be transferred out of your wallet.

Did he really commit suicide or this is some kind of compulsion that happened, if in case that John McAfee suicide, his assets will be announced by his lawyer and his relatives who will have all the financial numbers and bitcoin, that is in the interest of the law but falls under the latter case, some coercive effects could become an opportunity to vaporize those numbers, maybe bitcoin was contributed to the general fund of the government. And for such an unknown amount of bitcoin, it will form a lot of strange fluctuations in the future

McAfee was a angle investor who invested hugely in different ico and IEO but I wondered that if he decided to suicide but he must write his personal wallet securities to his relatives . But they gonna get any wallet security?

But they gonna get any wallet security? Not really believing on investing mainly and i would rather believe that he do mainly focus on advertising rather than on investing and we do know that he didnt done well on this manner. This is why he had been known to be a clown on this market whenever he do shill out ICO or new projects and turns out to be a scam then that one really make out some problem or effects on his reputation. When it comes to wallet then i dont know on what you mean about security.This is a matter if those coins he owned had been shared in terms of private keys or have some access neither on his loved ones or friends but for sure it would be mainly on the family which is normal.
