I think I can bring this message thread more on-topic. Please bear with
me.
I met John McAfee back in the '80s through his Homebase BBS in the 408
Area Code. This was a whole bunch of years before McAfee went off the
rails, and became a menace to society.
Homebase was a strange fun place where a bunch of virtual friends could
get together to chat and joke and generally goof off. Oh, and McAfee
also distributed his early versions of VirusScan for DOS on the BBS. At
some time, McAfee started inviting the BBS "regulars" over for Friday
pizza. This is where we learned that his antivirus "company" was still
just a small corner of his living room.
McAfee confessed he was scared of Macs, but I convinced him to make me a co-sysop of the BBS's download section, and I started keeping it stocked
with the latest versions of Disinfectant and VirusDetective. OK, now we
are back on topic. (The very first version of VirusScan for Mac looked suspiciously identical to Disinfectant, but with McAfee branding on it.)

Good. Death in prison is what he deserved.
He was a criminal and a nutbag. He admitted he had not paid U.S. Income Taxes for 8 years, yet wondered why the U.S. government was after him.
On top of all that, his anti virus software sucked donkey balls.

Your capital punishment bar is extremely low. Not enough electricity in the US to run that many chairs.

No, it was not. The product that was marketed using his name long after
he sold the company was garbage, the software he wrote in the 80s was
fine.

One article said he normally stayed in a cell shared
with another detainee. But on the day in question
he was alone.
"A penitentiary source told AP that McAfee was sharing
a cell in the Brians 2 jail where he had been put in
preventive detention since he was arrested in October
last year on a U.S. warrant, but that at the moment
of his death he had been alone."
Opportunity, but not motive.

75 years old, in prison and notified that he's going to be extradited to
the US where he could face up to 30 years in prison. A few hours after that notification, he's dead. He could have just said screw it, I'm outta here.

Committing suicide while saying he would never do it, is a good way to
poke the government in the eye, while despairing at the prospect of
serving 30 years in jail.

It is not likely a 75 year old will server 40 years in jail. Or
anywhere.

Nah. Kamala Harris and Michele Obama snuck into his cell and caused him to die of heart failure by performing wild lesbian sex in front of him and not letting him have a taste.

Our "state" prisons are really bad. But, our Federal
prison are pretty soft.
Federal minimum security prisons, where most tx evaders get sent, are very soft. Wesley Snipes got set to the facility at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Among the duties of those incarcerated there was to be groundskeepers at the officers’ golf course there. However, they could also play golf there, as long as they didn’t inconvenience the officers. And they could go to the beach during the day, so long as they got back inside the camp by sundown. Basically it was a taxpayer-supported vacation spot.
Federal medium security is tougher, with serious walls, but still weren’t designed to be harsh. Federal maximum security is where most heavy-duty bad guys go; there are lots of guards, lots of barbed wire, and very little fun. Minimum and medium security prisons would be in Florida and other warm,> sunny, nice to visit areas. Maximum security are in Kansas and other places
which get cold and windy and are generally annoying. Bernie Madoff went to a medium security facility in North Carolina; he was not considered a flight risk. McAfee might have been sent to medium security; tax evaders normally go to minimum security, but he spent years running around the world evading the authorities. If he pissed off the judge he might draw maximum security.> Federal supermaximum security are where those who have seriously annoyed the Feds go. Each prisoner is assigned an individual cell, where he stays 23.5 hours a day; he’s taken to an exercise yard for half an hour a day, other than that he stays in his cell. There are multiple exercise yards, so no prisoner sees any other prisoner, just the guards who take him to exercise and bring him his food.
