Software pioneer John McAfee was found dead at age 75 in a Spanish prison cell shortly after a court approved his extradition to the United States. McAfee faced U.S. charges for tax evasion and cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes. Despite a previous "Whackd" tattoo intended to signal he would never commit suicide, authorities are investigating the death as a self-inflicted act. His legacy as a promoter of antivirus software and his eccentric public persona are noted.
