    This had me checking, fortunately SBF is currently in jail and almost certainly headed for prison. Also want to drop a reminder that McAfee publicly announced shortly before his death that he had no intention of suicide and expected assassination attempts after his incarceration.

      How wacky would it be for him to announce that, and then commit suicide just to mess with everyone.

        I have an inkling that he faked his own death. Or they killed him.

        But him faking his own death would be 100% something he would do.

        So what exactly was the plan? In detail. Leave no stone unturned.

        • Who planned and financed it?

        • Where was it planned?

        • How was it covertly executed?

        • What were the main objectives?

        • How did the planners protect themselves from their devious plot?

    Side story here.

    I’ve been in one of McAfee’s houses after he died. A friend texted me one morning asking if I’d like to go to McAfee’s house. He had a friend that recently acquired a prior house of McAfee. Of course, I said yes, and drove 2hours to get there.

    Decent sized house, probably 6k square feet. There was definitely money put into this place. In-ground pool, hot-tub, the works.

    It was just recently acquired. All the furniture in the house was original, left by McAfee! My friend and I were given permission to search the house as far as we wanted, without destroying anything of course. We searched high and low for flash drives, anything really. Searched the dirt “crawlspace” for a bit, you could stand up in there and it looked like someone had been digging around quite a bit.

    The only thing we found was a maybe 6x6inch hole cut out of the drywall behind a dresser, like someone knew were something was and took it out the wall.

    We played pool on a pool table that had dried splattered blood on it. Found tombstone still tied to a pallet out back that had something along the lines of “RIP BTC”, it also had a qr code, I think it linked to LTC, I can’t remember and the picture was lost due to me leaving my sd card in a phone and selling said phone…

    His room was weird, had a pull down like garage door that looked bullet proof and two big doors with wood 6in thick. Probably 50 cameras all over the property.

    Weird tid bit, shortly after the family moved in, they had an influx of people coming by and insisting they owned a piece of furniture that was in the house and they want it back. Some of the people insisted to come in and make sure the furniture isn’t there anymore. They were all declined.

    And that’s my story of the random text I got from a friend to party and search McAfee’s house.

              Well… who knows. He was held for 8 months in somewhat of a quantum flux prison.

              According to the same DailyMirror article:

              • Jun 23, 2021 (Google link) - Spanish prison where John McAfee was found dead ‘is like the Hilton’
              • 24 Jun 2021 (In-article title) - Prison in Spain where John McAfee was found dead in apparent suicide serves ‘stale bread and cold hot dogs’, has two bunk beds per cell and two inmates killed themselves in May

              …so who knows. Maybe he even committed suicide and was assassinated at the same time! /s

        He was definitely odd, but even a broken clock is right twice a day; He hated what his old company has become, and at least owned up to the fact that he had a lady shit on his chest. When asked about it in interviews, he basically said something along the lines of “when you’re richer than God and have had sex with gorgeous women every day, things start to get stale and you look for more and more extreme things to get you going.”

        He also 100% predicted that he was going to be Epstein’ed in a prison cell. He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job. He specifically tweeted something along the lines of “if I’m ever found to have hanged myself, it wasn’t a suicide. It was a whack job.” He was found dead in a prison cell, with the death ruled a suicide by hanging. Which is either prophetic (he believed the US had a bounty on him, so he was very paranoid about getting murdered with the government covering it up,) or the best troll ever.

          I think it really was just an epic troll. The man had run out his cash reserves, was at an age where he must’ve started feeling old. Spent decades experimenting wildly with drugs. He was by every outward metric a broken person. And also a person that valued his freedom to do whatever above everything else. Prison, forced clean and facing the very real possibility of never tasting freedom again. I just can’t imagine that he wouldn’t snap, which is a failure of the state to not keep him safe while in their ward. He was also extremely action oriented, he wasn’t the type to contemplate suicide, it’s either do it or don’t.

            Getting sober for the first time in decades, without proper medical support, is enough to become suicidal for sure. Hell, even with proper support, the psychological adjustment can be overwhelming.

          The dude was also just fucking insane from 50 years of drug use lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if committed suicide to troll the world or for his own crazy meth head paranoia reasons, but he was probably just crashing hard.

      He didn’t flee to the Bahamas. FTX was based out of the Bahamas because it made for good tax dodging.

      Before he was accused of more serious crimes like fraud, he was regularly committing the much more common crimes that companies like Facebook and Google do all the time, pretending that their profits all happen to accrue in some country with friendly corporate tax laws.

        And you’d be right, I’ve no interest in ever watching the show. But I meant MacGyver as a stand-in adjective for improvised from whatever he found lying around. Funny enough, someone said it’s probably real, so this IRL MacGyver dude here was killing it (and his neighbor too, quite literally).

          Ok, then let me explain how off that is. MacGyver’s famous for improvising things that work out of whatever’s lying around. Not for creating realistic looking props that don’t do anything. Another key aspect of the character is that he really hates guns.
