John McAfee has been set free – was arrested on a yacht full of weapons

Yesterday, Trijo News reported that crypto advocate and antivirus pioneer John McAfee had disappeared.

It was speculated that he was arrested by the US authorities he has been on the run from since 2012 after allegations of murder and tax eviction.

Today, it has been revealed that this is not the case. The crypto personality was certainly arrested but by Dominican authorities. He has now been released, he himself writes on Twitter.

Leaving detention (don't judge my looks – four days of confinement). I was well treated. My superiors were friendly and helpful. In spite of the helpful circumstances, we've decided to move on. More later. pic.twitter.com/V4539uYCHR
