It's a shame, I kind of like John McAfee, hated his software though, back in the 90's running McAfee anti-virus on your system was worse than getting a virus.

Yea, I have heard him on radio interviews with John B Wells and he comes off as conservative and aware of the corruption in the US but when asked about why he was living in south america at the time he came off like he was an ex-pat, sick of how America was being run by Obama.

Now we see he was on the run from extradition this whole time.

I wouldn't call McAfee a mogul, he blew his money on becoming a bath salt addict. I wonder if this means he's off the wagon again.
