Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
John McAfee is a retard for being a libertarian crypto-crime lord and then going to an EU country and just hanging out like it is whatever.
He’s going to prison forever, probably.

Former software guru and one-time presidential candidate John McAfee has been nabbed in Spain on tax evasion and cryptocurrency fraud charges, ending his year-long stint as a globetrotting fugitive. He faces extradition to the US.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, and the US Department of Justice both announced charges for McAfee on Monday, hitting the security software founder with 10 counts linked to dodging the IRS and another series of charges for promoting investments in cryptocurrencies without disclosing that he was paid some $23 million to do so.
“John McAfee earned millions in income from promoting cryptocurrencies, consulting work, speaking engagements, and selling the rights to his life story for a documentary,” the DOJ said in a statement. “From 2014 to 2018, McAfee allegedly failed to file tax returns, despite receiving considerable income from these sources.”

McAfee was charged on five counts for willful failure to file a tax return, each of which carries a sentence of up to one year in prison, while the other five charges are linked to tax evasion itself, which could each result in up to five years behind bars. Originally filed in June, the newly unsealed indictment does not implicate McAfee’s former software company, which bears his name.
The SEC also accused McAfee of promoting “multiple [initial coin offerings] on Twitter” while “pretending to be impartial and independent even though he was paid more than $23 million in digital assets for the promotions.” The complaint also alleges that McAfee and his bodyguard, Jimmy Watson Jr, engaged in a separate scheme to promote cryptocurrencies on Twitter and then sell them off as their prices rose. The government did not name the particular currencies in its complaint.
McAfee is said to have generated “an enormous amount of publicity” with “extravagant posts” online – singling out his promise to “eat my d**k on national television” if his forecasts for bitcoin didn’t come true – which the SEC claims helped to pump up the value of specific cryptos that he then sold off.
“The SEC’s complaint… charges McAfee and Watson with violating antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, McAfee with violating the anti-touting provisions, and Watson with aiding and abetting McAfee’s violations,” the commission said in a statement, adding that it also seeks to “bar McAfee from serving as a public company officer and director.”
Tax evasion is literally the stupidest crime.
But seriously, he's been sued in Federal Court in New York for allegedly violating a bundle of U.S. securities laws that we all saw him seemingly violating in real time on twitter — touting, scalping, and so forth pic.twitter.com/C3YVZQRHoQ

You can do any other single crime and the government will basically just ignore you. But if you do tax evasion, they are for sure going to hunt you down.
John McAfee literally murders people and gets away with it. You can get away with any crime, other than tax evasion.
You might as well just do other crimes and make enough money to pay your taxes by doing those crimes rather than doing tax evasion.
John McAfee is a funny person but he is not a genius.
