This isn't the first time this guy has run afoul of the Brazilian authorities. About six months ago, he wound up going on the run after police raided his house. http://www.alltechienews.com/posts/poor-john-mcafee-belize-police-arrested-the-antivirus-icon-and-killed-his-dog
I didn't know Brazil had annexed Belize.

Don't you mean "Man, is this the Strange Typos Thread, or what?"

I'm sorry...we have a theme going here : )

OT: Well, McAfee has been responsible for the murder of millions of processor cycles as well as memory bandwidth, so it figures that in time the man himself would do it. What a strange story...bath salts? Chemistry lab and weapons arsenal in Belize? I still want $100 million bucks, but this shit does happen to people with too much money overnight...

"No, I'm not crazy, officer."

"Yes, this is a glass of my own urine."

"No, I'm not crazy, officer."

"No, you can't test it for illegal narcotics, officer."

People still think Bill Gates is in charge at Microsoft. McAfee (the company) is definitely going to have some fallout from this because people are ridiculously stupid.

According to one news article he bought a million dollar patrol boat for the Belizean coast guard out of what he initially claimed to be philanthropy, but which he later admitted was a bribe to keep them from hassling his ferry business.

Sounds like the local constabulary has it in for him.

>>> Living in basement
>>> Make lots of money
>>> Feel like you can do anything
>>> Path 1: gain +15 intelligence and be mature
>>> Path 2: gain +15 Risk-Taking and do whatever you want

For people who've ALWAYS had money they grew up with the mentality of being able to whatever you want without ruining themselves; its similar to when you turn 18, do you A) go clubbing and hang with prostitutes or B) continue on with your life and be smart about restraint and choices

So this guys story is like Breaking Bad in reverse? Become a gazillionaire, THEN start cooking up the illegal narcotics, bath salts and recreational household cleansers?

On top of all that it looks like he is wearing a white dress after Labor Day. Oh the shame!

Eh, his antivirus software has ALWAYS sucked.
Still, should have stopped with the guns and started with the anger management.

He looks kinda like the dude from the Big Lebowski. Seems pretty nuts that he is trying to purify bath salts, a substance that makes people go crazy.

God I sure hope so. McAfee is one of the most awkward names I've heard. How the hell do you pronounce that anyway?

I've had it installed on my computer for 3 years and I can't even say it's name.

Sort of like how McAfee, Inc. hasn't been associated with internet security. Ever.

Yikes! Glad I use another anti-virus software. Reminds me of the guy who invented the Gizmondo and got into all that trouble shortly after.
