United States entrepreneur and serial cryptocurrency advocate John McAfee has fled the country to conduct his 2020 presidential campaign, he said in a video statement Jan. 22. McAfee claims he has been indicted by U.S. tax authorities and plans to run his campaign from a boat in international waters.
The controversial crypto community figure, who plans to run for president of the U.S. next year, said he had learned that a grand jury had been convened against him by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
