John McAfee Suspect In Murder, On The Run

[Rydian]

Antivirus pioneer John McAfee is on the run from murder charges, Belize police say. According to Marco Vidal, head of the national police force's Gang Suppression Unit, McAfee is a prime suspect in the murder of American expatriate Gregory Faull, who was gunned down Saturday night at his home in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye.

There's a copy of the official police statement in the source as well, describing the crime scene.

Catch him before he goes viral. /lame pun

This news sucks. Good thing I never used McAfee I guess.

I guess McAfee made a virus itself.
It's being hunted down by the cyberpolice
(I tried)

So when software is butchered, the fuzz couldn't care less, but when a person dies, well, suddenly everyone cares!

I see how it is.

Seems like the Justice System is infected.

Interesting. I wonder what's going to happen to the Macaffe anti-virus. I mean, when I update my Adobe Flash, it asks me to install that. I wonder if they're going to cut ties.

Stock in the company will most likely fall faster than The Hindenburg on Jupiter.

We've regressed to Hindenburg references now?

Oh, the humanity...

What, too soon?

Who's the victim? Is there a motive?

I don't like going through sources

 

[finkmac]

I was reading an article about this guy recently, on a gawker site...

Apparently, he has (had?) a 17 year-old girlfriend, and a ton of guns...

 

[Dann Woolf]

Did some quick research on the guy, apparently he was doing drugs so fucked up even Charlie Sheen wouldn't touch them.

 

[mechadylan]

I'm sure they'll catch him soon; McAfee isn't renowned for running very well. (sorry, had to.)

 

[YayMii]

When I read the title I honestly thought it was going to be a joke. I guess not.
Maybe his anti-virus software finally made him crash.

 

[Hadrian]

What, too soon?

Dude, we've only just got over the Antonine Plague.

So, an update of sorts from The Escapist...

According to Wired, McAfee is hiding from the authorities while proclaiming his innocence. The article explains that when McAfee saw the police approaching his property, he quickly buried himself in sand, placing a cardboard box over his head so he could breath. "It was extraordinarily uncomfortable," he said, "But they will kill me if they find me."

McAfee claims that he knows nothing about the shooting, and that his position as prime suspect is due to a government vendetta against him. McAfee also claims that the authorities poisoned his guard dogs. "The coast guard dropped off a contingent of black-suited thugs at 10:30 tonight at the dock next door," McAfee said, "They dispersed on the beach. A half hour later all of my dogs had been poisoned. Mellow, Lucky, Dipsy, and Guerrero have already died."

Belize's Gang Suppression Unit denies any attempt to poison McAfee's guard dogs. "This guy amazes me every day," unit head Marco Vidal said. "We don't have anything personal against Mr. McAfee. There is no need for us to poison dogs."

If he's telling the truth, the Belizean authorities must really hate McAffee Anti-Virus.

 

[chyyran]

McAfee really is that bad.

 

[Fear Zoa]

I knew there was a reason I hated McAfee, this isn't it of course but it sure doesn't help the case.
Horrible antivirus, horrible person, horrible.......the antivirus sucked okay!
