My favorite part of that interview: There was just one more question, though: “Do you have McAfee antivirus on your computer?” He looked at me and put down his cigarette. “I take it off,” he said. “It’s too annoying.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubsfan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 ^ As someone that worked at and made a lot of money at McAfee in the early days - John is definitely a wild and crazy guy with a few loose screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aws Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The guy was apparently worth $100 million like 15 years ago before losing most of it in the financial crisis. Then after already facing a murder charge in Belize he decides to stop paying taxes in the US, and flaunts his tax evasion. Then he steals a few million with the crypto pump and dump scheme, and decides the best thing to do next is run for president so his crimes stay in more of a spotlight. The guy really wants to spend the rest of his life in prison apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was only half serious. He said that in October and died 8 months later. But it is also possible that he didn't kill himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
