Sorry, we have enough trouble keeping up with our own criminals in the USA, let alone keeping up with those abroad.

Haha. The whole thing is just so damn weird. Especially the bit about him burying himself (?) in the sand up to his neck, then having a cardboard box over his head to avoid capture.

if he's anything like his software he'll get away no problem, because when McAfee's running, everything else slows waaaay down...

Sadly, this is the only thing McAfee ever successfully killed.

LMAO "He was traveling with a photographer from Vice magazine, which revealed his location by posting a photo of the two together under the headline, “We are with John McAfee right now, suckers.”

This is hilarious.

I don't think he was trying to run away for real. It was probably a publicity stunt. He can't be that dumb, can he?

Been following him on Twitter, he seems mentally unhinged...

saw this again on the news last night, he looks properly berserk. mind you, having hang around with a VICE magazine photographer all day is probably not good for your mental health.

They just interviewed him on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast last week. Check it out. They aren't convinced that he's not a nut.

Now it appears that he has just suffered 2 heart attacks. Just bad timing? It's the stress that caused it, unless he has somehow faked this as part of his master plan.

"Was getting caught part of your plan?"
