John McAfee did not kill his neighbor in Belize.I know because I asked him that exact question.
“Do you know what questioning is there? They string you up buy your heels and they put a football helmet on your head. And then they beat that with a baseball bat until your brain turns to mush,” McAfee told me, after denying his involvement.
“It leaves no scar. It leaves no bruise. It’s not something I was doing. If you wanted to do it, I’d be happy to point you to someone who would do that to you,” McAfee said.
I have no doubt that he would.
The 70-year-old former software executive is an enigma: Smart, entertaining, and a little bit of intimidating in a way that keeps you on edge.
His life has fluctuated from drug use to creating a multi-million dollar company and back again. He was accused of murdering his neighbor in Belize – by the press only, he says – and his dog was shot in his military compound by armed soldiers before he fled. He’s since moved back to the US and lives in the one small town in Alabama that has gigabit internet access. He was arrested earlier this summer on charges of driving under the influence and handgun possession. (
McAfee is also running for president of the United States.
And don’t laugh, because he is taking this seriously: He showed up at Techcrunch Disrupt, a three-day San Francisco startup, for a TV interview and stopped by the press room during his campaign visit. He left that night to fly off to do another magazine cover on his campaign trail.
“I will be president. You can laugh all you want. I’ll bet you a dollar. I will be president or I would not be doing this,” he said, as reported by Re/Code.
Meet the Cyber Party
To run for president, McAfee created his own party: the Cyber Party.
He’s against the internet of things, which lets televisions spy on our private conversations. He’s extremely (and justifiably) concerned that a pair of hackers took over a jeep. He hired his friend who hacked the United Airlines entertainment systems (and was subsequently detained) as his chief technology officer to advise him.
