Even though he lived a cuestionable life. He was a free man until the end. I respect him for that.

> He was a free man until the end. He literally died in jail.

Jail is detention before trial, not imprisonment in a penitentiary.

Everyone seems to forget that he likely had his neighbor tortured and killed: https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/20/mcafee_25m_lawsuit_ne...

From McAffee in 2019, "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. " https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/120086428376625152...

Tweet from last week:

"My friends evaporated through fear of association.

I have nothing.

Yet, I regret nothing."

He lived his life the way he wanted and he even decided how to die.
