Hello crypto fellows,
It’s Friday again, although not a casual one if you take a look at breaking news. As you’ll find out: the crypto world is constantly moving back and forward in the light spectrum. From black to white with numerous shades of grey in between.
In todays’ news:
Crypto Evangelist John McAfee Found Dead in Prison
The antivirus software mogul and crypto advocate John McAfee was found dead in his cell in a Spanish prison on Wednesday. Few hours before his body was found, the Spanish court had approved his extradition to the United States.
A 75 years old entrepreneur had to be charged for crypto-related criminal tax evasion. He could face up to 30 years in prison. McAfee was held in prison near Barcelona last October.
The death investigation is going on, although McAfee’s lawyer says the mogul has committed suicide.
