McAfee has been dead for over two years, and his widow Janice is now living by doing odd jobs. The most outrageous thing is that she still does not know how her husband died.

The official statement says he committed suicide in a prison in Barcelona, but the details are absurd: when the guards found him, he still had a pulse and was breathing, yet they didn’t untie the rope around his neck before starting rescue efforts? Janice, who has a medical background, stated that this is completely inconsistent with standard CPR procedures.

What’s even more heartbreaking is where that 10 billion dollars went? McAfee made over 10 billion selling antivirus software, but when he died, he only had 4 million left in his account. He claimed he had no money hidden and even swore on Twitter "I have nothing." But what about that 31TB of data? He deliberately didn’t tell his wife where it was, fearing for her safety.

Now Janice wants to conduct an independent autopsy to uncover the truth, which requires 30,000 euros. She has no money. She just wants to take a look at her husband's body and then cremate him according to his wishes. These demands cannot be met.

When we met at the Malta Blockchain Conference in 2018, John was still on stage drinking whiskey, full of vigor. Two years later, it was like this. Some say he died just hours before the U.S. extradition order was issued—he escaped American prison, but the cost was too great.

Something about this always feels off.
