Antivirus pioneer found dead in Spanish prison

MADRID — John McA-
fee, the creator of McAfee an-
tivirus software, was found
dead in his jail cell near Bar-
celona in an apparent sui-
cide Wednesday, hours after a
Spanish court approved his ex-
tradition to the United States
to face tax charges punishable
by decades in prison, authori-
ties said.
The eccentric cryptocur-
rency promoter and tax op-
ponent whose history of legal
troubles spanned from Ten-
nessee to Central America to
the Caribbean was discovered
at the Brians 2 penitentiary
in northeastern Spain. Secu-
rity personnel tried to revive
him, but the jail’s medical team
finally certified his death, a
statement from the regional
Catalan government said.
“A judicial delegation has ar-
rived to investigate the causes
of death,” it said, adding that
“everything points to death by
suicide.”
The statement didn’t identify
McAfee by name but said the
dead man was a 75-year-old
U.S. citizen awaiting extradi-
tion to his country. A Catalan
government official familiar
with the case who was not au-
thorized to be named in me-
dia reports confirmed to The
Betty “Jane” Hoy
of Bend, OR
November 15, 1928 - June

Associated Press that it was
McAfee.
Spain’s National Court on
Monday ruled in favor of ex-
traditing McAfee, 75, who had
argued in a hearing earlier this
month that the charges against
him by prosecutors in Tennes-
see were politically motivated
and that he would spend the
rest of his life in prison if re-
JOHN MCAFEE • 1945-2021
turned to the
U.S.
The court’s
ruling was
made public
on Wednesday and was open
for appeal, with any final ex-
tradition order also needing to
OBITUARY
get approval from the Spanish
Cabinet.
McAfee was arrested in Oc-
tober at Barcelona’s interna-
tional airport and had been
in jail since then awaiting the
outcome of extradition pro-
ceedings. The arrest followed
charges the same month in
Tennessee for evading taxes
after failing to report income
from promoting cryptocur-
rencies while he did consulting
work, made speaking engage-
ments and sold the rights to his
life story for a documentary.
The criminal charges carried
a prison sentence of up to 30
years.
Nishay Sanan, the Chica-
go-based attorney defend-
ing him on those cases, said
by phone that McAfee “will
always be remembered as a
fighter.”
“He tried to love this coun-
try but the U.S. government
made his existence impossi-
ble,” Sanan said. “They tried to
erase him, but they failed.”

Michael Fredrick Stanton
November 09, 1967 - June 08, 2021
Aft er a brave batt le with cancer, Michael Fredrick Stanton, age 53, passed
away in the loving presence of his family on June 8, 2021, in Bend, Oregon.
The youngest of eight siblings, Michael was born on November 9, 1967, in
Schenectady, New York.
When he was 7 years old and his mother took ill, Michael began cooking and
discovered what would become his heart’s passion as a career. At 19, Michael
was hospitalized for six weeks with meningococcal meningiti s. Although it
can be a fatal virus that claims the lives of many, Michael defi ed the clinical
odds and survived. Given a second chance and with the support of his family,
Michael recovered.
Aft er several years of working in local restaurants in Upstate New York,
Michael decided to att end The Culinary Insti tute of America (CIA) in Hyde
Park. At the CIA, he further developed his technique by fully embracing a
classical approach to cooking. Soon he began working in celebrated French
restaurants in New York, including Lespinasse and Les Celebrites.
From New York, Michael moved to Los Angeles, where he conti nued to work
in French fi ne dining at Encore and La Cachett e. In the West, Michael found
love in the kitchen and beyond, where he met his wife, Jessica, and they
started their life together in LA.
Aft er 10 years of working in LA, including running his own catering company,
Michael accepted an Executi ve Chef post in Portland, Oregon, at the Heathman.
In Oregon, Michael embraced the joys of cooking with the Northwest bounty
and his role as a chef mentor in leading and teaching his team how to create
and to celebrate food made with love.
With more than three decades of service dedicated to the joys and challenges
of cooking, Michael made his home in Bend, Oregon, where he was the
Executi ve Chef of Currents at the Riverhouse. Michael was driven to be the
best chef and the best person he could be, but ti tles and awards were not
important to him. He always cared more about the quality of the food and
being able to taste the love that went into it.
Michael insti ncti vely chose the paths that were right for him - unapologeti cally.
He was determined and exacti ng, with a sharp wit and a deep well of
compassion. He was a private man, but when he chose to share, he would tell
you the truth.
What matt ered most to him were his family and food made with love. During
Michael’s last days here with us, he enjoyed the company of his loving family
and food made with love, for him - with his loving directi on, of course.
Michael leaves behind his wife, Jessica; his siblings (Kathie, Bob, Jean, Judy,
Laura, Paula and Patt y) and nieces (Michelle, Stephanie, Morgan, Paige,
Lauren and Corrine) and family by marriage; and his furry children, Bella and
Biko.
In lieu of fl owers, the family suggests memorial contributi ons be sent to
Hospice House at Partners In Care in Bend, Oregon in honor of Michael
Stanton.
