In videos, the tech tycoon appears on a boat in an unknown location, as he hinted, in international waters. The videos were recorded and later published on McAfee’s Twitter account. There he said:
“I’ve made no secret of it; I’ve not filed returns.”
He specified that «the grand jury» has been summoned in Tennessee and the charge is targeted not only at him but his wife and four of his campaign participants as well.
