RIP [John McAfee], International Antivirus Man of Mystery

edited June 2021 in Social Entropy++
One time antivirus mogul and international man of mystery John McAfee was found dead in a Spanish prison cell, after the Spanish courts authorized his extradition to the US on tax evasion charges:
Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee has been found dead in a Barcelona prison cell, just hours after a Spanish court agreed to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges.

The Catalan Justice Department said prison medics tried to resuscitate him, but were not successful.

It said in a statement that "everything indicates" Mr McAfee took his own life.

A controversial figure, Mr McAfee's company released the first commercial anti-virus software.

It helped to spark a multi-billion dollar industry in the computer world.

In October 2020, he was arrested in Spain, and accused of failing to file tax returns for four years, despite earning millions from consulting work, speaking engagements, crypto-currencies and selling the rights to his life story.

    Can we ever be sure he is really dead? Or, like his Anti-Virus program, will he be eternally running in the background of life?

    All his designer drugs he had been baking couldn't have helped either.

    Anyway, good riddance. So, Belize keeps his island?

    John McAfee turning up dead in a Spanish prison with a $hwackd tattoo on his arm he got two years before he killed himself as proof he didn't kill himself seems pretty fitting for John McAfee tbh

    Whatever one may think about McAfee, no one can say he didn't lead a... 'full' life.

    Remember that time he faked a heart attack to get out of a Guatemalan jail?

    All I'm saying is maybe we wait a day or two before we make any proclamations about McAffee.

    Rush is dead as hell though.

    I can guarantee with near absolute certainty that a man of his means and wanton disregard for the law and morality has fucked a whale

    People online are already trying to claim that McAfee got "Epsteined." I absolutely doubt it and I will defer to Robert Evans for the best worded explanation:




    I know McAfee tweeted that he would never kill himself. He was also a profligate liar and attention addict. He saw how much attention Epstein's death generated. I have no trouble believing he committed suicide.

    Epstein was connected to powerful people and knew their crimes.

    McAfee was not nearly as connected. He was a fringe figure who almost exclusively hung out with lower level grifters who swam in his wake and fed off his backwash.

    For anyone seeing folks around who might get sucked down a conspiracy hole over this wannabe whale rapist - remind them that McAfee absolutely wasn't important enough to be offed.

    He was also very probably a murderer and/or a rapist, so nobody should spend even an instant being sorry for him.

    "Sawm in his wake and fed off his backwash" is such a lovely slam on both Mcafee and people connected to him.

    He was also very probably a murderer and/or a rapist, so nobody should spend even an instant being sorry for him.

    But those qualities would make him important enough to someone to be offed? I don't think there's good evidence to be so convinced either way at this point.

  • TheStigTheStig Registered User regular
    Our government didn't even care about that. They were only after him because he evaded taxes in the illegal way. Shoulda hired good accountants like all the other rich people to evade them legally.

    Being important enough to somebody that they want you dead and being important enough to somebody who can orchestrate your suicide while in prison on a different continent are wildly different things.

    There are plenty of people in Belize who would break McAfee kneecaps, but they aren't the kind of people with access to Spanish prison cells.

    I'm seeing a lot of "failed whale fucker" thrown around regarding this dude, but if I'm reading his incoherent ramblings correctly, he claimed to fuck the whale to completion, implying either he or the whale climaxed? What is that, if not a successful whale fucking?

    Oh brilliant

    He claimed he failed to fuck a whale and that he wasntt making it up because why would he lie about failing to fuck a whale?

    Keep in mind the context was not fucking a whale, it was sticking his dick in its blowhole. Aka the thing they need to breathe.

    Wait
    1 aren’t blowholes kind of big
    2 wouldn’t blow hole muscles be really strong to keep a seal at ocean depths

    The only disappointment I can feel is that he passed before he could make good on his promise to eat his own dick.

    John McAfee did not get to where he was by thinking about things logically.

    I'm pretty sure that whales' blowholes have little or nothing to do with intercourse

    unless of course the whale is into erotic asphyxiation

  • tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    I do not get the sense that McAfee was a man concerned with his sex partner's preferences or even orifice autonomy.
