Antivirus pioneer and tech outlaw John McAfee blew his $100 million fortune on ‘bizarre’ mansions and really was broke when he died in a Spanish prison, according to an author who collaborated with him.
Soon before his death on June 23, McAfee claimed in a tweet that he had no hidden cash and was worth ‘nothing’ — though he had ample reason to conceal his wealth, with the US government seeking to seize his assets on charges of tax evasion.
In addition to the feds, the question of McAfee’s estate is also of interest to his family, including his widow and staunch supporter Janice, who insists that his death may not have been a suicide, as Spanish authorities found.
Now, author Mark Eglinton, who collaborated with McAfee on a book for six months while he was on the run from authorities, tells DailyMail.com that he believes McAfee was indeed penniless, citing his personal experience with the outlaw and extensive interviews with him.
