John McAfee arrested in Spain, charged with tax evasion

The Justice Department unsealed an indictment Monday against cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee following his arrest in Spain. McAfee stands accused of evading taxes, in part by using cryptocurrency. McAfee founded the antivirus firm that bears his name, but has spent at least a decade in frequent brushes with the law, and not just in the United States. The indictment, dated from June, does not allege that McAfee received any money from, or otherwise had any connection to his former company during the period he allegedly failed to pay taxes, from 2014 to 2018.

The Silicon Valley cybersecurity giant filed Monday for an IPO on the Nasdaq, a move that would separate the company from buyout firm TPG, which spun off McAfee from Intel in 2017.

There is no guarantee the company will have a successful IPO, or raise that amount of money, even as investors pour funds into public firms at a breakneck pace. The IPO market is nearing the end of the busiest third quarter for deals since 2000, the Wall Street Journal reported. Another company with cybersecurity interests, the big-data firm Palantir, is set to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange. Intel had acquired McAfee in 2010 for $7.7 billion. In 2017, TPG took a […]
