RIP John McAfee
Happy Wednesday, Blockfolians
The Lede
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.
Not everyone loved John McAfee. But no one can deny how loud his character loomed over a crazy time in crypto that will be part of our history forever.
