craaaaap.

People were only half joking, but I am already seeing a lot of chatter about how he was assassinated like Epstein. Among the tech crowd it is probably not all that serious, but if he posted a big Q that could get the quidiots involved.

The decision was announced on Monday, but the written rationale was released today (Wednesday, June 23, 2021). I have not yet been able to locate a copy of the Spanish court's opinion.

Assassinated? I'd think the IRS would have an easier time collecting their due if he were alive.

Eh, he had a bit of a technolibertarian cult following.. so I would not be surprised if some of them believe he was killed for political reasons.

Another whose AV software I didn't completely trust. Kaspersky being the one I'd trust the least.
