John McAfee, the eccentric anti-virus pioneer who for years has claimed to have evidence that the government is corrupt, has been charged with money laundering and securities fraud. The Justice Department announced the charges on Friday which accuse him of being involved in a scheme where he allegedly used his Twitter account to tout cryptocurrencies he was secretly invested in to drive up their value then dump them for a profit.

McAfee is still in custody in Spain, where he was arrested in October 2020,  on suspicion of tax evasion. The US was seeking extradition then but he has still not been brought over. It's unclear if the delay is due to COVID-19 or other reasons. A DoJ spokesman declined to comment on his extradition on Friday. According to his wife, he needs American lawyers to work with his Spanish lawyers now to help him fight extradition.  

According to the indictment, McAfee and his co-defendant Jimmy Gale Watson Jr. used McAfee's Twitter account - where he has hundreds of thousands of followers - to promote what are known as altcoins.
