RE: John McAfee, who died in prison after information will extradite him to the US
Hi @haccolong
I must admit that I wasn't aware of John McAfee death until I've read your publication. Was his tax-related crimes severe?
Cheers, Piotr
In a video on Twitter, he said he was charged with “using Crypto Cuttencies to commit crimes against the US government” in January 2019. Also in this video, McAfee said that he did not pay taxes for 8 years.
On the part of the US Government, they accuse him of not filing tax returns from 2014 to 2018 and not reporting income related to the promotion of crypto projects and consulting work.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also sued McAfee for failing to disclose that he received $23 million (paid in Bitcoin and Ether) to promote ICOs on Twitter.
Famous for the saying: "By the end of 2020, if bitcoin does not reach 1 million dollars, it will eat its own money on TV".
It is said that there are two things you cannot avoid in America: taxes and death. In the end, McAfee managed to evade one. 😹😹😹
That's a summary of what I know about him 😂😅😅
Thanks for being so responsive and engaging @haccolong
You made me laugh quite badly hahaha
