John McAfee has shared many details about his life in Spanish prison and chances of extradition to the U.S. He additionally claims to have regained control of his ghost cryptocurrency project.<\/strong><\/p>\n Former U.S. presidential candidate and antivirus software tycoon John McAfee is in Spanish prison awaiting his extradition trial after he was arrested<\/a> in Spain.<\/p>\n McAfee has been tweeting regularly from prison. \u201cYou want to know what prison is like. It\u2019s like a Motel 6 run by Hitler\u2019s SS,\u201d he tweeted, elaborating:<\/p>\n I am content in here. I have friends. The food is good. All is well. Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine \u2026 Prison is an adventure to say the least.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cSpanish prisons are like the Hilton hotel compared to the abject surreality and dehumanization of American prisons,\u201d he described in another tweet. \u201cIn Spanish prisons, you are treated as a human being instead of a number. I am treated well.\u201d Admitting that he is \u201csurrounded by murderers, muggers, and thieves,\u201d the antivirus software tycoon maintained that it is \u201cNot as bad as our government of course. But still.\u201d<\/p>\n The former presidential candidate insists that the U.S. government is after him for speaking the truth, particularly against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). \u201cI once publicly called the SEC a festering pustule on the face of America, and the IRS \u2013 a legalized criminal gang aspiring to be the equivalent of Hitler\u2019s SS. These are the two agencies accusing me of hideous crimes. I can only assume that they took offense at my remarks.\u201d Nonetheless, he affirmed: \u201cI would not exchange my life in prison for a life of freedom in which I could not speak the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Regarding the $23 million dollar<\/a> judgment against him, McAffee claimed: \u201cIt was a civil suit not a criminal issue. I never even responded to the suit. It was simply a default judgment.\u201d He declared:<\/p>\n I am charged with tax fraud \u2013 which is lying on your tax return. I have filed no returns for many years and have made no secret of it. If I have said nothing how could I have lied. My real crime is speaking publicly about the insanity rampant within our system of government.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Responding to a question from the media about whether the U.S. justice system is just, he said: \u201cIf extradited, I face 35 years in prison for multiple counts of refusing to file tax returns. Had I chosen armed robbery, I would\u2019ve received 5 years maximum. You tell me if it\u2019s just.\u201d<\/p>\n Furthermore, McAfee tweeted on Friday: \u201cI\u2019m in prison for refusing to file tax returns, while government bureaucrats use your taxes for private planes, lavish parties and all other benefits of their power.\u201d Commenting on the upcoming U.S. presidential election, he said, \u201cIf you think this election, whatever its results, will change this system, you will be sadly disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n Although charged by the SEC for pumping tokens, McAfee is still pumping his ghost cryptocurrency. He confirmed from prison that Ghost is the only crypto project he is involved with at present. Recalling that he abandoned<\/a> the project in August due to a fallout with the management, he clarified:<\/p>\n I have returned to controlling the Ghost development. My feud with management has ended. With the announcement that we will soon release a private stable coin, will mark a new era in transacting crypto business. Transaction fees will be shared amongst all Ghost holders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cWhen our private stablecoin is released, it will revolutionize crypto transactions. I have capable managers and communicate frequently from prison,\u201d he claimed. \u201cMy work with Ghost revolves entirely around our development of the world\u2019s first private stablecoin. Version one will be a wrapped DAI. Later we will have a new stable, private blockchain. Holders of Ghost will share all transaction fee profits for the stablecoin.\u201d<\/p>\n He also commented on Paypal\u2019s announcement to begin supporting cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, on its platform. \u201cPaypal\u2019s acceptance of cryptocurrency signals, I believe, a new wave of cryptocurrency acceptance worldwide. Governments around the world will have to get used to cryptocurrencies.\u201d He further tweeted: \u201cPaypal to take crypto. The IRS must be pissing itself.\u201d<\/p>\n The U.S. government wants him extradited from Spain, which McAfee says he is 100% certain will not happen because the Spanish \u201ccourts will see the clear resentment of the American government toward my public condemnations of their increasing corruption. They also understand how simple it is for a corrupt system to manufacture evidence that can prove anything against anyone who is a public enemy. They will decline my extradition,\u201d he wrote. As such, he said he will not need a lawyer in the U.S., emphasizing that \u201cThere is zero chance that Spain will extradite me.\u201d<\/p>\n McAfee revealed that when he is released, he will do \u201cThe same as before,\u201d which is to \u201ccontinue speaking against the cancer that has invaded every organ of the U.S. government bureaucracy.\u201d He added that he is not sorry for what he has done. \u201cI have followed my heart and stood up for my beliefs. I will never regret that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On the subject of him allegedly being wanted for murder in Belize, McAfee insisted:<\/p>\n This is false. I was not charged with murder nor was I a suspect. The Belizean authorities will confirm this. I was a person of interest like all of the murdered man\u2019s neighbors. I chose not to be questioned. I was already at war with the Belizean government.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n McAfee posted his prison address on Friday after he said many people have asked for it. \u201cLetters only. No packages. No money, drugs or weapons please. Everything is opened,\u201d he warned. Finally, the cybersecurity tycoon said he would not reveal where he had been hiding: \u201cI will not say. I may need to hide again someday.\u201d<\/p>\n What do you think about John McAfee\u2019s story?
