“#Eccentric tech mogul John McAfee will be extradited to US<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A Spanish court has agreed to extradite embattled tech entrepreneur John McAfee, who faces tax-evasion and other financial charges in the US. <\/p>\n

The extradition was app<\/a>roved by the high court in the country and revealed in a court filing on Wednesday that was reviewed by Reuters. <\/p>\n

McAfee, an eccentric tech mogul who developed McAfee antivirus software, was arrested in the country in October for allegedly failing to pay taxes on years of income.<\/p>\n

He was hit with a 10-count indictment in the Western District of Tennessee for allegedly dodging taxes on millions of dollars of income from 2014 to 2018, according to prosecutors. <\/p>\n

McAfee, 75, earned the income through speaking engagements, selling the rights to his story for a documentary, doing consulting work and promoting cryptocurrencies online, prosecutors charged at the time. <\/p>\n

He claimed the charges against him were politically motivated \u2014 and he has the right to fight the extradition, Reuters reported. <\/p>\n

In March, McAfee was also charged in Manhattan federal court for running two schemes to bilk crypto investors out of about $13 million.<\/p>\n

In that case, McAfee and a co-conspirator, Jimmy Watson, allegedly bought up large quantities of a crypto currency called \u201calt-coin\u201d and inflated the price value of it by publicizing it on his wildly popular Twitter<\/a> feed. <\/p>\n

They then sold off the product, earning about $2 million in the \u201cpump and dump\u201d scheme, prosecutors charged. <\/p>\n

In a second ruse, McAfee and his team took money from startup cryptocurrency issuers to tout events called \u201cinitial coin offerings,\u201d prosecutors charged.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
