Tech magnate and crypto advocate John McAfee is currently incarcerated in Spain, pending extradition to the United States.

He was arrested in the country during October of last year.

And in March, the US Department of Justice said he had been indicted on fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges.

McAfee and his bodyguard, Jimmy Gale Watson Jr, are accused of exploiting the former’s Twitter following to artificially inflate prices of altcoins through a pump and dump scheme.

They also allegedly concealed payments McAfee received from startups to promote initial coin offerings.

McAfee, who insists the charges are overblown, was a prolific tweeter before his arrest, boasting over one million followers.

And the 76 year old has continued to tweet from behind bars, flagging up that he has been in prison, without bail, for seven months.

I am almost 76 and have been in prison, without bail, for seven months. Not much for a younger man in his 40s or even 50s. But for me, its likely a significant percent of my remaining days on this earth.

A lesson in our system of justice.

McAfee has also taken the opportunity to hit out at the US government and the media.

Which came first -

The lies our government tells us,

Or the lies we tell ourselves?

The power to define reality is the most abused power of the media. Period. End of tweet.

His wife Janice, meanwhile, has revealed his shock at the price of Dogecoin, which was created in 2013 as a joke, poking fun at the rise of established digital assets such as Bitcoin.

STOP PRESS: Just as RTIH was about to publish this article, McAfee popped up on Twitter again, this time weighing in on the question that’s on everyone’s mind at the moment.

Do ants fart?

It's a non trivial question.

Collectively, ants weigh more than all other creatures on earth combined (look it up).

If they do fart then the people blaming global warming on cow flatulence need to get a grip.

Its the ants we should worry about.
