John McAfee’s Instagram posted an image of a Q after he died and people are freaking out.

Many are wondering whether it is connected to the QAnon conspiracy theory, which believes a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring was plotting against Donald Trump while he was in office, that vaccines are evil, and all sorts of other lovely stuff.
McAfee was arrested last year and faced tax evasion charges because he allegedly failed to report income made from promoting cryptocurrencies while he did consultancy work, as well as income from speaking engagements and selling the rights to his life story for a documentary.
He was being held in jail until it was decided whether he could be extradited and - if found guilty - he would have spent up to 30 year in prison.
According to Reuters, the circumstances surrounding John McAfee’s death point to suicide.
Since it was posted, the Q Instagram post appears to have been deleted and it is unknown who has access to the former tech entrepreneur’s account.

@ZyzzRespecter John McAfee was Q the whole time and has ascended to become a being of pure energy— Kevin H Bell 🌵 (@Kevin H Bell 🌵) 1624482191
Okay so we can say with confidence John McAfee was most likely Q, or had connections with Q— aləx (@aləx) 1624508898
Whether someone admits to pulling a prank, or giving a simple explanation remains to be seen.
