As Belizean police combed the property of expat antivirus pioneer John McAfee Sunday afternoon, McAfee was closer than they could have known. He’d seen them coming, and says he hid — burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe. “It was extraordinarily uncomfortable,” he says. “But they will kill me if they find me.”

Wasn't this basically a CSI episode already

immediately thought of this http://theweek.com/article/index/218393/libertarian-island-a-billionaires-utopia

did he hack my debit card too?

McAfee is currently on the run from the police. “Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country,” he told me this afternoon. “You can say I’m paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question. They’ve been trying to get me for months. They want to silence me. I am not well liked by the prime minister. I am just a thorn in everybody’s side.”

Nonetheless, McAfee insists he has no plans to leave the country. “I like it here,” he says “It’s the nicest place on earth.”

billionaire libertarian island: "literally a garbage bag full of Viagra"

so his neighbor poisoned his dogs so he killed him, then he evaded the police by hiding under a cardboard box

You couldnt make this shit up. Or want to.

can't believe this guy's a suspect just cos he chooses to live on a private paedo island beyond the law

Meanwhile, Peter Norton is thinking 'Jeepers! I hope the police don't find out about those two overdue library books from 1965 that I haven't returned!'

John McAfee: real-life Solid Snake.

wow, that escalated incredibly quickly

If this wasn't real, it'd be a story that Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs came up with and then shelved for being too unbelievable.

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee called just now: "I am adept at hiding. I will do whatever it takes to stay alive."

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee 7:05AM PST: "Power was just cut to the house I'm in. I think this is it."

According to Wired, McAfee is avoiding the authorities by "burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head" because he's afraid of being interrogated. "It was extraordinarily uncomfortable," he said. "But they will kill me if they find me."

A+ top comment on nymag article

From the article in the top post: most appropriate internet handle for a billionaire Libertarian:

http://gizmodo.com/5959812/john-mcafee-wanted-for-murder

Writing under the name "stuffmonger," a handle he has used on other online message boards, McAfee posted more than 200 times over the next nine months about his ongoing quest to purify psychoactive drugs from compounds commercially available over the internet. "I'm a huge fan of MDPV," he wrote. "I think it's the finest drug ever conceived, not just for the indescribable hypersexuality, but also for the smooth euphoria and mild comedown."

Elsewhere, he described his pursuit of "super perv powder" and warned about the dangers of handling the freebase version of the drug: "I had visual and auditory hallucinations and the worst paranoia of my life." He recommended that the most effective way to take a dose is via rectal insertion, a procedure known as "plugging," writing: "Measure your dose, apply a small amount of saliva to just the tip of your middle finger, press it against the dose, insert. Doesn't really hurt as much as it sounds. We're in an arena (drugs/libido) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here. If you take my advice about this (may sound gross to some of you perhaps), you will be well rewarded."

We're in an arena (getting really high and murdering my neighbor) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here.

'Super perv powder' is sheer poetry.

This is all a scary, sad, crazy shit show.

I consider myself friends with John, though I haven't heard from him in many months. I visited him in Belize (ok, he flew me down) a couple of years ago. He was kind, thoughtful, funny and a showman - not a batshit kook.

the gizmodo stuff does seem like its sensationalizing a good bit. so u never caught wind of any of the guns/drugs/libido stuff??

stuffmonger

There were no drugs, while I was there; there was no weird sex, no firearm fetishism. I can believe that lots changed after (or spurring) the departure of Jennifer, but John was an eccentric, not a dirtbag.

Yes Gizmodo are definitely sensationalizing; you can tell from what they <I>imply</i> about Allison, without any direct quotes. (I knew Allison.)

were u a... sky gypsy?

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee says the police raided the house next door to where he was and he evaded them.

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee just called: He has changed locations. The police have not caught him yet.

http://www.ambergristoday.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/page_full/image/equipment-donation-police-john-mcafee.jpg

Mr. John McAfee was more than pleased to help out the community of La Isla Bonita which he calls home. His donation included equipment for the police officers, housing for five police officers and a boat for transportation. Equipment donation included tasers, handcuffs, hydration packs, flashing lights, metal detectors, pistol belts, pepper spray and batons, to name a few.

On behalf of Minister Heredia, Mr. Kevin Gonzalez, presented a short speech to those in attendance and also presented six of twelve Motorola hand-held radios for the department. Assistant Superintendent Vienie Robinson delivered the vote of thanks after the official presentation of equipment which was carried out by Mr. John McAfee, Mayor Daniel Guerrero and Mr. Keving Gonzalez.

They're clearly trying to kill him to get those other 6 walkie talkies.

Update Your Anti-Virus Software: John McAfee is a Culture, Not A Costume

The story's beginning has to be more recent. I believe it starts about the time that I began living with five and a half women. The lifestyle change was motivated by a need to save time. Running around visiting my various paramours consumed enormous resources and my daily travel time exceeded the average commute from Newark to Manhattan and back.

The five and a half is really seven. But two of the women have committed relationships with men who also live with me. The two women are both my ex-lovers and one of the two still sleeps with me so I count her as a half. The men are both musicians, by pure accident, not by design. The other five women share my bed on a regular basis.

The arrival of Amber Two might have been counted as an extra woman, but, being still of sound mind, I decided that sleeping with Arthur Young's girlfriend, given the fact that she had just recently been released from prison for stabbing a rival girlfriend of Arthur's seven times in the face with hair scissors, might destabilize a complex set of relationships that already included at least one psychopath. Discord is high. Amber One has more than once pulled a knife on Betsy and alternates between love and hate for Tiffany. Betsy has threatened to slash my throat many times and has gotten into knock-down, hair-pulling fights with Jane on two occasions. Tiffany keeps track of everything and uses subtle passive aggressive button pushing to keep us all miserable. Marly has burst into my room with a gun while I was sleeping with Anna and has slapped Jane's face more times than I can count. And Anna, well, she tried very hard to kill all of us. But I'll get to that. Generally discord is quieted by a group trip to the hair salon...But neither the hair salon, nor it's more powerful ally, the Spa Weekend, could have any affect on the hidden events unfolding just beneath the surface of this happy family.

"happy" "family"

The latest disclosure: He claims to have dyed his hair, eyebrows, beard, and mustache jet black.

“I have modified my appearance in a radical fashion,” McAfee said, “I’ll probably look like a murderer, unfortunately.”

If this guy was a little less violent and manipulative he might be one of my heroes. 'Pathologically' lying to journalists seems like a pretty forgivable pastime.

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/08/21/business/21inequality.600.jpg

Rise of the Superrich Hits a Sobering Wall

In 2007, Mr. McAfee sold a 10,000-square-foot home in Colorado with a view of Pike’s Peak. He had spent $25 million to buy the property and build the house. He received $5.7 million for it. When Lehman collapsed last fall, its bonds became virtually worthless. Mr. McAfee’s stock investments cost him millions more.
One day, he realized, as he said, “Whoa, my cash is gone.”

His remaining net worth of about $4 million makes him vastly wealthier than most Americans, of course. But he has nonetheless found himself needing cash and desperately trying to reduce his monthly expenses.

He has sold a 10-passenger Cessna jet and now flies coach. This week his oceanfront estate in Hawaii sold for $1.5 million, with only a handful of bidders at the auction. He plans to spend much of his time in Belize, in part because of more favorable taxes there.

Next week, his New Mexico property will be the subject of a no-floor auction, meaning that Mr. McAfee has promised to accept the top bid, no matter how low it is.

“I am trying to face up to the reality here that the auction may bring next to nothing,” he said.

This story and the Petraeus sex scandal are the payoffs for having to sit through months of depressive Romney propaganda.

He is obviously staring into a binary sunset.

http://bigapplemetstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Bobby-Vs-disguise.jpg

One day, he realized “Whoa, my cash is gone.”

One day, he realized “Whoa, my mind is gone.”

One day, he realized “Whoa, I killed a guy and now i live under this cardboard box buried in the sand.”

“Whoa, my cash is gone and we're in an arena (drugs/libido) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here."

That's probably what he sees in the mirror when he's high.

The latest disclosure: He claims to have put his abdomen on his face and his face on his abdomen. “I have modified my appearance in a radical fashion,” McAfee said, “I’ll probably look like a murderer, unfortunately.”

Note: Richard Garriott used his funds to become a cosmonaut, becoming one of the first father-son combos who've been to space, as his dad was an astronaut.

They made a docu about it called Man on a Mission, I think, that is reportedly worth seeing.

McAfee's world seemed to be imploding. In late May, Gizmodo posted the text of a message that McAfee had put up on a private discussion board. In it, he described being on the lam from the police. "I am in a one room house in an uninteresting location," he wrote. "I have not been outdoors for 5 days." He added that he was posting from an iPad but didn't have a charger, and the battery only had a 21 percent charge remaining. He described his run-in with the police, then signed off with this: "I'm down to 17% charge. I will leave you."

But just a few days later, residents spotted McAfee driving a golf cart around Ambergris Caye with a new 17-year-old girlfriend, apparently in good cheer. I dropped him a line, and his reply was upbeat. "Things are getting back to normal," he wrote. "I'm just waiting for a few properties to sell then I'm off to the South Pacific. No doubt to new adventures…"

I'm down to 17 year old girls. I will leave you.

Software pioneer John McAfee denies Belize murder

McAfee update: Says his hideout has a cathode ray tube TV and he watched an episode of Rawhide. His girlfriend thinks it's boring.
4:16am - 15 Nov 12

That's so Amber Two.

The sort of person who specifies they're watching a "cathode ray tube TV" is definitely fucked in the head

He sounds sort of like he wants to be Hunter S Thompson, but is failing.

He sounds sort of like he's done as many drugs as Hunter S Thompson.

Amber, drugs, and money

next: runs for Sheriff of La Isla Bonita

Amber, drugs, and money

This whole story plays out like a Warren Zevon song.

actually from now on i am only going to picture John McAfee as Boston Rob; i suspect this means little on ILX but if the survivor boards get wind of this idea they will find it to be comedy GOLD, let me tell you

Hey, I vacation on that island frequently! Don't believe I was killed by any antivirus millionaires while there, though.

Each time this thread shows up at the top, I think it's taken a darker turn...

I'm just waiting for the reveal that "Amber Two" is the unstable twin from the Petraeus thread.

http://gizmodo.com/5960826/mcafee-on-the-run-stops-to-ask-for-tech-support

"If I had to guess, I'd say he's in his house," one of his neighbors told Wise Wednesday, adding "He's such a media whore, he's probably loving it."

McAfee is currently wanted for questioning by Belizean authorities, although no charges have yet been filed. McAfee contends he would be framed or murdered if he were in custody. The Prime Minister of Belize yesterday called McAfee "bonkers."

I stuffed a shaved down tampon deep into my right nostril and died the tip dark brown – giving my nose an awkward, lopsided, disgusting appearance.

Pics or it didn't happen.

...on another pretending to be a drunk German tourist with a partially bandaged face and wearing speedo swimming trunks and a distasteful, oversized Hawaiian shirt and yelling loudly at anyone who would listen – “Leck mich um ausch!”.

Is McAfee a Mozart fan or a Juggalo?

oy

im no expert but this dude seems to be having a pretty severe manic episode

its not really funny :(

He's pretty much always this way.

kind of interested in the story of how you ended up knowing/visiting this guy, sean

This whole scenario is almost like a combination of Harrison Ford's The Fugitive, mixed with those old TV adverts where the man from Del Monte says "Yes".

this story is pretty insane

getting on board late here sorry

would like to hear more from sean on this, since he seems to know the dude.

“I am indeed that same Stuffmonger,” he posted on Nov. 20. “I, however, do not do drugs, and I am no chemist. I am, however, a practical joker who does not mind investing months in a given joking enterprise.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/business/john-mcafee-plays-hide-and-seek-in-belize.html

this is reminding me of the charlie sheen thing at this point

stuffmonger is a bath salts suppository ref?

I think he's been using the Stuffmonger moniker for many years. However, practical joker he may be, he is probably high as fuck all the time.

I recently got a new computer and the preinstalled Mcafee trial was fucking up my Internet connection. Again. Shocking that the program still exists.

“I call it the Island of Misfit Toys,” says Eileen Jamison, behind the counter of DandE’s Frozen Custard and Sorbet. “Ever see the movie ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?’ They stop at this Island of Misfit Toys — a doll that cried, a train with square wheels. We’ve got some misfit toys here. Weirdos.”

During a recent eight-day visit here, I tried to get in touch with Mr. McAfee, and interviewed his friends and former employees. This proved harder than it initially sounded. Many in Mr. McAfee’s circle have their own irrational fears and more than a few refused to speak for reasons that I discovered only at the end of the stay.

“The word is out there you’re with the F.B.I.,” said a man entwined in Mr. McAfee’s life, the day before I left. “Nobody believes you’re a reporter.”

I wish this whole thing comes to a speedy conclusion so I don't have to read anymore trial software jokes

things are getting weird/dumber now - a professional PR firm, "exclusive with Vice magazine!" etc

I'm going to start writing off all of my terrible decisions pranks.

He's hanging out with dudes from Vice RIGHT NOW

gross

Fugitive software pioneer John McAfee has dismissed reports of his capture, claiming that it was in fact a double carrying a North Korean passport who was detained for "pre-planned misbehaviour".

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/03/john-mcafee-denies-capture-belize

oops:

But his latest post appear to suggest that he will return to the central African country to continue monitoring the murder investigation, but only after a companion of his is safe.

We Are with John McAfee Right Now, Suckers do not believe the deceptive GEO TAG on the JPG | VICE

VICE wants you to know the geo tag was a prank

suuure

cool that mcafee is teaching them how to do pranks

up next vice are going to pass out in piss pants on the neighbor's balcony and stash some drugs in the potted plants

best prank ever!

What if Vice was actually a team of covert espionage mercenaries posing as bumbling post-hipsters intent on exposing McAfee and bringing him to justice?

*does another bongrip*

From calm intellectual New Yorker reporter on geology and landscape to armed fugitive...Oh wait.

*rescreens Argo*

I apologize for all of the misdirections over the past few days. It was not easy to exit Belize and required many supporters in many countries. I am in Guatemala and will be meeting with Guatemalan officials this morning. If all goes well I will do a press conference tomorrow.

Vice Magazine reporters are indeed with me in Guatemala. Yesterday was chaotic due to the accidental release of my exact co-ordinates by an unseasoned technician at Vice headquarters. We made it to safety in spite of this handicap. I had to cancel numerous interviews with the press yesterday because of this and I apologize to all of those affected.

http://www.whoismcafee.com/guatemala

huh wait it wasnt a prank

no lagoon - you just got pranked

an unseasoned technician at Vice headquarters

"This guy needs more salt, pepper and super perv powder"

it is I who was pranked

a prank inside another prank

best inception ever

DJP how can you be sure that it was not you who was pranked?

what if we are all currently being pranked and dont even know it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l71gaZnYgOU

the prank, directed by david fincher

what if mcafee's software was actually just one big prank...it is actually a virus

Suckers do not believe the deceptive GEO TAG on the JPG !!!

I'm less suspicious of the geo tag and more suspicious of the idea that guatemala even exists

I have been pranked one too many times at this point

@Reuters FLASH: Guatemala to deport U.S. software pioneer John McAfee to United States - migrant official

"I'm just going to hang in Miami for a while. I like Miami," he said. "There is a great sushi place there and I really like sushi."

pranks:

The mysterious illness, described by his attorney alternately as a heart ailment or a nervous breakdown, led to a scene with reporters chasing his ambulance down the narrow streets of Guatemala City and right into the emergency room, where McAfee appeared unresponsive.

He now says it was all a ruse: "It was a deception but who did it hurt? I look pretty healthy, don't I?"

John McAfee's month-long international run from police through two Central American nations ended with a flight to Miami, where the businessman who says he abandoned his fortune admitted to playing the "crazy card."...The man who many believe only wants attention answered critics who called his month-long odyssey and blog posts a publicity stunt by simply saying, "What's a better story, millionaire mad man on the run. You [the media] saved my ass. Because you paid attention to the story. As long as you are reporting, it is hard to whack somebody that the world is watching."

Last night i was googling some virus fixes cos my Windows 7 install has been crashing during playing videos to a blue screen of death about the file atkdisplowfilter.sys. I googled it and it took me to a few sites proclaiming to have fixes for it, all featuring "100% Certified by McAfee" icons on the page. It raised an eyebrow and I thought "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" and it led me to doing some more research which led me to realize all of those sites were BS and simply existed for fake Trojan Horse 'anti-virus' spyware. So if anything all of this publicity has saved my computer from downloading some evil stuff.

Still don't know what to do about the BSOD tho. I think it only happens when i watch youtube videos encoded in a certain way.

John McAfee's Belize home burns to the ground

The authorities in Belize have said he has not been charged and they do not intend to extradite him, only wanting to question him should he return to Belize.

This story is incredible. So he went on the run for a murder he wasnt accused of?

If he comitted the murder the questioning would soon turn into charges if he wasn't a 100% convincing liar. Or maybe he was afraid he police would charge him just to shake him down, or get a conviction.

Wow Xanax what a hard partying guy.

There's yet another candidate jumping into the race for the White House, and he's got his own political party.

John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate who fled Belize after police tried to question him for murder, confirmed to CNNMoney that he plans to run for President in 2016 and that he'd created his own party -- the Cyber Party.

McAfee explained that he decided to run after being encouraged by "almost everyone" he knows and meets.

"I have a huge underground following on the web," McAfee said. "I promise you I will win because I have the votes."

McAfee said one of the hallmarks of his campaign would be his outspoken nature and his willingness to answer any question about his "checkered background."

McAfee, who said he'd filed his Form 2 with the FEC, also said he needed to run because of his belief that governments worldwide are "out of touch." (The FEC confirmed on Wednesday that McAfee had filed.)

"We are losing privacy at an alarming rate -- we have none left," McAfee said. " We've given up so much for the illusion of security and our government is simply dysfunctional."

McAfee said the desire to respond to terrorist attacks had opened citizens up to excessive surveillance.

"The government can spy on people using their mobile phones while they're with their wives and husbands," McAfee said.

He added that the U.S. government is simply dysfunctional and "lacks an understanding of the basic technology that runs the world."

He promised the campaign would be interesting and was confident he'd win by being honest.

When asked about his fellow candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, McAfee was overwhelmingly positive, saying both were "very smart."

He applauded Clinton for "putting up with Bill quite graciously for quite some time" and although he noted her email mishap was a mistake, he was quick to add: "Who hasn't made a mistake?"

McAfee said he would ask Trump one question if given the chance to debate him: "What is with the hair?"

But he also said that Trump was the most promising candidate.

"If I didn't enter, he would've won," McAfee said.

He admitted that he didn't really follow any of the other candidates and said he didn't want to comment on them.

"I'm not entering this race to compete with other people," McAfee said. "I'm not going to sling mud at people or run as anyone other than myself."

A site for his campaign has already gone live and McAfee said an explainer about the "Cyber Party" would be available after 6pm.

McAfee also spoke about his recent arrest.

In August, McAfee was arrested for DUI and possession of a handgun while he was under the influence. He said the case was still pending and would be back in court in November. He said it wasn't alcohol but Xanax that made him "dysfunctional" -- a claim he said would be supported by the blood test.

McAfee also made news in January 2014 when he fled police in Belize who sought to question him for the death of his neighbor.

I lost concentration for a bit, how did this play out again?

Irrational??? Google me. On the run in the Belizean jungle for weeks while 17,000 armed men were trying to kill me. Assistant Prime Minister of Belize hired hitman Eddie McKoy to kill me. Five failed attempts by the Sinaloa Cartel. 6 different women tried to shoot me. Google me.

— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) August 21, 2018

17,000 armed men and only one named hitman threat identified? this is why nobody trusts mcafee scans anymore

Feeling some cognitive dissonance from trying to imagine a supersoldier with Bourne-level survival skills challenging random twitter scrubs to google him.

i understand the benefits to branding, but i feel like mcafee software should either change their name or, i don't know, try and force john mcafee to change his.

I dunno, Coca-Cola has done all right with a name which explicitly references cocaine. A software company named for a raging coke addict should be fine.

My favorite was when he angrily threw a pizza on the roof of his house.

Every time I see his name crop up or see a picture of him - always visibly wired out of his gourd on who knows what combination of drugs and surrounded by guns & ammo - I'm always amazed that he hasn't been accidentally shot, either by himself or one of his hangers on.
