Prosecutors say he has not filed a tax return for four years, despite earning millions of dollars from consulting, speeches at events, cryptocurrencies and the sale of rights to a documentary about his life.

None of the allegations have anything to do with the software company that bears his name.

He is also accused of not declaring assets, including a yacht and a building, passed on to others. If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison.

Procurorii spun că acesta nu a depus declaraţii fiscale timp de patru ani, în ciuda faptului că a câştigat milioane de dolari din activitatea de consultanţă, din discursuri ţinute la evenimente, din criptomonede şi din vânzarea drepturilor pentru un documentar despre viaţa lui.

Niciuna dintre acuzaţii nu are legătură cu firma de software care îi poartă numele.

El este de asemenea acuzat de nedeclararea unor bunuri, printre care un iaht şi un imobil, trecute pe numele altora. Dacă va fi condamnat, ar putea ajunge la 30 de ani de închisoare.

Autorităţile susţin că McAfee a făcut între 2017 şi 2018 peste 23 de milioane de dolari prin „valorificarea faimei sale”, promovând şapte oferte de criptomonede, fără a dezvălui că a fost plătit pentru a face acest lucru.

Agenţia SUA pentru valori mobiliare şi operaţiuni bursiere (SEC) vrea să-i interzică permanent accesul la funcţii de conducere în cadrul oricărei companii listate sau al oricărei companii care depune rapoarte la SEC. În plus, garda de corp a lui McAfee, Jimmy Watson, a fost acuzat, printre altele, de complicitate la vânzarea de monede digitale. Nici el, nici McAfee nu au comentat public acuzaţiile.

Authorities say McAfee made more than $ 23 million between 2017 and 2018 by "capitalizing on its fame," promoting seven cryptocurrency deals, without revealing that it was paid to do so.

The US Securities and Exchange Agency (SEC) wants to permanently ban him from access to management positions within any listed company or any company that reports to the SEC. In addition, McAfee's bodyguard, Jimmy Watson, was accused, among other things, of complicity in the sale of digital coins. Neither he nor McAfee publicly commented on the allegations.
