Posted around 4 p.m. Wednesday, the image showed just a black letter “Q” on a white background. It came after McAfee was found dead of what Spanish authorities believe to be suicide in a prison cell earlier the same day.
McAfee had courted a relationship with the fringe throughout his life, writing trollish tweets that implied he knew the identity of the person behind the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely claims enemies of Donald Trump are party to a Satanic pedophile ring.

John McAfee’s final Instagram post – a giant Q. The post went up around 1:15PST, meaning he was likely already dead. But he or someone on his team knew exactly what to do to achieve maximum shitposting effect. pic.twitter.com/dW2rXXI673

It’s worth noting that John McAfee has made trolly references to Q in tweets as early as 2018. https://t.co/yBJP8HpoGt pic.twitter.com/EcHjDibGLu
