John McAfee was a tech businessman who founded the McAfee anti-virus software. In later years, he was extremely critical of the software and reportedly urged users around the world to uninstall it. He lived in Belize for many years until the mysterious murder of his neighbor, following which he fled the country. McAfee became a person of interest in the case.

He unsuccessfully tried to run for President of the United States of America in 2016 and 2020. McAfee also faced legal issues regarding tax evasion, for which he was arrested in October 2020 in Spain. In June 2021, the businessman was found dead in his jail near Barcelona, Spain. His sudden death sparked a wave of conspiracy theories around the world, including one that he was possibly killed. However, earlier this year, a court in Spain ruled that the controversial entrepreneur had died by suicide.
