Someone's been looking at my Youtube feed *
I've actually been in
casual contact with him, I think I have a good handle on what happened.
He fled to Belize to avoid a wrongful death lawsuit after one of his buddies dies from an accident involving a shared hobby of
flying ultralight airplanes dangerously close to the ground. In Belize he buys a huge multi-campus mansion and hires a team of armed guards. Here he starts experimenting with euphoric drugs. Finding none of them interesting enough, he goes on to
INVENT HIS OWN FUCKING NARCOTIC. From here on it's my educated conjecture. His neighbor had complained frequently about John's many dogs he has around his yard at all times, one night he apparently went out onto McAfee's lawn to complain and one of the armed guards shoots him dead. The next day McAfee sees his dead neighbor on his lawn, assumes it was a failed assassination attempt, and goes into hiding from the Belizian government. He hides out in a pit in his backyard for a few days, and eventually makes his way across the Guatamalan border with an
entourage of underaged girls and news reporters while taunting the authorities over
Twitter. He is cornered in Guatemala and
fakes a heart attack to get sent to Florida.
He can't be extradited because he's not a suspect, but a "person of interest". It should also be noted that their have been actual tangible threats made to him by the government in the past, so this is not a completely unfounded concern of his.
Now he's sobering up, and
reexamining the events he went through. My buddy, Mr. Fusion and I were discussing it earlier today.
Dr. Reality: McAfee is skilled in computer programming, biochemistry, physically fit, able to elude international policing forces, and has millions at his disposal
Mr. Fusion: And he knows all this
Mr. Fusion: and makes videos which torment his former company
Mr. Fusion: for no apparent reason whatsoever
I'd call him a super villain or evil genius over eccentric millionaire, it's more fun to sensationalize in my mind.
