One of the crypto industry’s earliest supporters and the man who predicted Bitcoin would reach $1 million<\/a> by the end of this year, was just arrested in Spain for tax evasion.<\/p>\n

John McAfee Nabbed In Spain For US Tax Evasion Charges, No Bitcoin Bet Fulfillment<\/h2>\n

John McAfee isn’t just a crypto pioneer, he’s an internet pioneer, who first founded one of the most well-known antivirus brands in the world.

McAfee has been on the run from the IRS for failing to file taxes for several years, despite making ample earnings from his cryptocurrency project promotions. Back at the peak of the cryptocurrency bubble, rumors claimed that McAfee was paid millions for pushing ICOs via social media.<\/p>\n

The SEC has also set its sights on McAfee for his involvement in promoting these early crypto projects, but have made a big blunder in their accusations.<\/p>\n
