With death, John McAfee reneges on promise to eat own penis on national TV
Date: 2021-06-23 00:00:00

John McAfee, the controversial software security specialist who later became notorious for shilling dubious cryptocurrencies and being a person of interest in the murder of his neighbor in Belize, died today in a Spanish prison cell. He was 75 and about to be extradited to the United States on tax evasion charges.

In 2017 McAfee tweeted that if Bitcoin's price didn't hit $500,000 by 2020 "I will eat my dick on national television." He upped the stakes by changing his dick-eating price to $1,000,000. He repeated his promise many times on social media. When Bitcoin did hit the target price he tweeted his promise was a "ruse to onboard new users."

RIP, you dick.
