It turns out that McAfee was a spymaster in Belize

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/the-bizarre-tale-of-john-mcafee-spymaster/

It turns out that John McAfee of McAfee antivirus was in Belize running a spying operation, sending out 75 laptops to prominent individuals to gain their passwords and email, and had 23 female and 6 men to gain all of the important information and know all of their vices, and in turn found prominent Nicaraguans with connections to Hezbollah and Mexicans with connections to drug cartels. It also turns out that he may of gone on to a drug use forum to sell 3000 pounds of a highly noxious drug because he thought it was funny. The best part is that he doesn't even know why he did it, and even if none of this is tue it would make for one hell of a movie.

This entire story is going to make for one bizarre-as-fuck movie.

Heck I'd watch it.

This is pretty crazy, though -- I can't believe this is real.

I mean, this is some Dietrich running away with an Irishman level shit. Wow. Just wow.

Whatever McAfee. Fuck you and your weird life. I can't handle it. I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!

what's his intrigue stat? is he an intricate webweaver or just an underhanded rogue?

Well, I get bored sometimes too.

I knew this was coming up eventually! I'd say his intrigue is somewhere like a 10. He kinda got caught but at least he didn't get killed (yet)?

Also I'd call him a Flamboyant Schemer. THAT LACK OF SECRECY YO!

Much of my life is a mystery to me.

Guys I don't now if you know this but John McAfee is totally full of shit. Also incidentally he killed a guy.

I can't think of a single celebrity to not fit those two categories.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Edward Norton played John Mcafee. HEY-YOOOOOO!

At least it's entertaining shit

This is the true Most Interesting Man in the World.

If there was a comment that deserved a rim shot in this thread it'd be this. Well done!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Edward Norton played John Mcafee. HEY-YOOOOOO!

This thread just keeps going with the zingers! At this rate I'm going to run out of applause .gif's.

I'll have to say though that as entertaining as this all is we're all eventually going to be disappointing once we found out the poor guy has just been tripping hard.

Actually, I think it'll still be an entertaining story to follow in either case. I can't believe McAfee's still at large I feel like at this point he would've gotten himself killed.

@EquitasInvictus: If we find out that it's all bullshit it just goes from insane "how did this happen" type stuff to the insane ramblings of a wealthy madman. Still amazing, just a different king of amazing.

Hunter S Thompson would stay away from the stuff McAfee is on

If you told me John McAfee went on a mech adventure I'd believe you.

goddamn McAfee on a mech adventure sounds amazing

I don't care what anyone says. This guy is my hero.

What kind of spymaster are you if everybody fucking knows about it?

Watching the vice coverage the day it went up then seeing the chaos that ensued afterword, then hearing the bombcast comment on it concurrently was one of my favorite moments of 2012. That shit was hilarious.

It was 3000 doses. Not 3000 pounds. He produced 50 pounds total. Considering how little he would have gotten on his fingers to make him trip balls, each dose can't be more than a few milligrams.
