Eglinton added: "He had his money in very safe investments, but he built houses, absolutely bizarre properties. Some of them, he never slept a night in the property."

The US Government claimed that McAfee allegedly hid cryptocurrency, a yacht, real estate and other properties in nominee names to evade taxes.
