I wouldn't take the claims of suicide at face value when McAfee has literally stated that if he dies of suicide it's probably a setup.

He died in a Catalan prison, not in US. Even if the US government had really any reason to kill him, sending an agent to prison in a foreign country to fake a suicide, when he was going to get extradited anyway, seems a bit hard to believe.

The other explanation -that the policemen in the Catalan prison were useless enough to let him hang himself without them realizing- seems more plausible.

1- You have watched lots of films.

2- You have probably never been outside of US.

3- No... You cannot bribe your way into a Spanish (or any other EU country) prison in order to kill someone.

Tbh, that sounds like something a person would say/tweet to make an eventual suicide look heroic and blame it on others.

Someone who firmly believes that he is always treated unfairly whenever someone poses a threat to him or disagrees. I don't know much about the facts around McAffee's fate and this is admittedly pure speculation. But it fits in very well with a person whose ego apparently was through the roof.
