The prediction market focuses on whether John McAfee, who reportedly died in a Spanish prison in June 2021, will be proven to be alive between January 29 and December 31, 2024. This event has attracted attention due to McAfee's controversial life, his previous claims about potential threats to his life, and persistent conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Based on the available evidence and search results, there remains no credible proof that McAfee is alive. While social media continues to circulate theories and claims about his survival, these appear to be largely speculative and lack substantive evidence. The market's current pricing (98.4% No, 1.7% Yes) appears to accurately reflect the extremely low probability of McAfee being proven alive in 2024.
