Hours after his death, an old tweet of John McAfee; the creator of the antivirus software, has surfaced on the internet.

The tweet by McAfee from 2019 also shows his tattoo on his right bicep. It reads, “‘$WHACKD.’ In a related tweet; he wrote, “Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: “We’re coming for you McAfee! We’re going to kill yourself”. I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn’t. I was whackd. Check my right arm.”

McAfee was however found dead on Wednesday in prison outside Barcelona. He was 75. He was discovered dead in his prison cell; hours after Spain’s National Court approved his extradition to the US over multiple tax fraud charges. McAfee had been in Spanish custody since October on a June 2020; US indictment in which he was charged; with failing to file four years of tax returns while concealing assets.
