Bit of a sad one today. Controversial icon John McAfee has reportedly been found dead in his cell in Spain. He had been awaiting extradition to the US to stand trial for tax fraud. That extradition was approved just this morning.

Twitter was filled with discussion.

Edward Snowden @Snowden

Europe should not extradite those accused of non-violent crimes to a court system so unfair—and prison system so cruel—that native-born defendants would rather die than become subject to it. Julian Assange could be next.

Until the system is reformed, a moratorium should remain.

*Breaking*

John McAfee found dead in his prison cell, this after Spanish courts agreed to extradite him.

RIP John McAfee

A scoundrel, a rogue, and a life lived to the full. One of the most charismatic, entertaining people I’ve ever known. Just don’t ask him how to get rid of that pop up window … Image
