[Jimothy]

RIP McAfee. I didn't like your products but you were an interesting guy.
It's the duty of all good men to avoid paying taxes whenever they can

 

[Blamo]

It is admirable that he has lasted for this long.

So who's next?

Elon, if we're lucky.

Bezos or Zuckercuck hopefully.

Mmm... i'm wondering why the tax frauds; mcAffee as a antivirus is fucking shit nowadays, even Windows Defender or using Ubuntu (or any Linux OS) is better.
Good riddance, i guess?

McAfee the man has had nothing to do with McAfee the product/brand for a very long time. The brand is owned by Intel currently; let's see what they do with it now.

Also, fuck the feds.

He was facing tax fraud charges in the US, which carry up to 30 years in prison. He was 72 and that'd mean his maximum release date was at 102 years old.

"Justice reported that the surveillance professionals and the prison medical services have intervened immediately to practice resuscitation maneuvers, but finally the doctors have certified the death. "The judicial procession has traveled to the prison and is investigating the causes of death. Everything indicates that it could be a death by suicide," they said in a statement."

I don't think I ended up liking him after talking to him. I did get a chance to ask him some questions a while back and I found his answers very lacking.

Daily reminder the US government is evil.

Damn, another legend taken from us.

RIP a legend.

Intel SOLD the McAfee brand to private equity a year later. Well, most of it.

Nah, Elon is down with the military-industrial complex.

Yes, my bad actually. I always forget about corporatism.

Another suicide?

 

[0x00000C1A]

He didn't want to eat his own dick on national tv that bad, huh.

 

[Shovel Mech Pilot]

This is the first celebrity death that actually upset me. RIP to a legend

 

[Goyslop Muncher]

RIP in pepperoni king

 

[Wyald]

Of course he'd end up dead by """"suicide""""

 

[engineerlnoop]

Literal hero, rest in peace

 

[PandaChai]

Bezos or Zuckercuck hopefully.

Or Gates perhaps

 

[Andre Richardson]

It’s been a hell of a ride, eh?

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

McAfee didn't kill himself.
