John McAfee was a real g, by that I mean he raped several women, killed a man, scammed millions of people with his god awful virus software, and was a prominent member of the (libertarian) party. Was he killed like Jeffery Epstein, yes. John McAfee knew too much and they killed him for it. That does not mean he was a good person or his death is a tragedy. Sure it would of been nice if he talked and incriminated other people but what then after that? Personally it would of been good if he died after that.
I believe that John McAfee was a real demon in the flesh. Not the pure evil kind, but the trickster pretty evil kind.
My favorite McAfee myth is when he knew local police were going to be raiding his compound, so in a daring feat, he loaded a bunch of computers with spyware and "donated" them to the police as a false act of good faith. Being a fairly impoverished area, the police used them. McAfee now was able to know their planned raids in advance and was able to escape prior to the raid on multiple occasions.
McAfee was a rapist, a murderer, but he also made imaginary Hollywood scenarios his real life and its hard not to find that extremely interesting and worthy of some kind of respect. Not a respect for the person he was but a respect for the lengths he went to.
We live in an absurd world and personally I can only get by every day by appreciating the absurdity of it all. McAfee was a chaotic presence that although evil, reminded me the world can just be wild sometimes without real reason behind it.
Basically, I'll miss the stories, not the man.
