John McAfee Accused of Murder, Wanted By Belize Police

New submitter thn writes "John McAfee, who started the antivirus software giant named after him, has been accused of murder in Belize and is wanted. McAfee had taken to 'posting on a drug-focused Russian message board...about his attempts to purify the psychoactive compounds colloquially known as "bath salts,"' Gizmodo wrote. The scariest aspect of this story may be the fact that an entire lab was constructed for John McAfee's research purposes. Because of his efforts to extract chemicals from natural chemical plans McAfee was able to justify his experiments in a country that is largely unregulated."

      I want a movie about Henry Nicholas of Broadcom.

      I'm sorry, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Nicholas does not confirm any of that, and therefore I can only conclude that your a a troll or a rube.

    FTA: Update 1:37 p.m. PT To include additional information from CBS that indicates McAfee is not wanted for the killing of Gregory Faull as Gizmodo previously reported but is only wanted for questioning at this time.

    You have to cut Gizmodo some slack here - they got their information from a phone they found in a bar.
