John McAfee Arrested In Spain And Charged With Tax Evasion And Promoting Initial Coin Offerings | Zero Hedge
… on Monday the eccentric millionaire was arrested – this time for real – in Spain, where he is awaiting extradition to the US after he was charged with tax evasion by federal prosecutors who allege McAfee hid cryptocurrency, a yacht, and real estate as part of a conspiracy to evade taxes, which he forgot to pay from 2014 to 2018.
At the same time the SEC also charged the former programmer for promoting investments in initial coin offerings (ICOs) to his Twitter followers without disclosing that he was paid to do so. McAfee s bodyguard, Jimmy Watson, Jr., was also charged for his role in the alleged scheme.
