McAfee Was Not Captured

Posted by samzenpus on from the man-on-the-run dept.

netbuzz writes "As rumors and news reports of John McAfee's alleged capture circulated widely yesterday – fueled by McAfee's own blog and blogging cohorts – police and other authorities in Belize denied that they had the man in custody and, well, they should have been believed. McAfee surfaced earlier this morning and had this to say in a blog post: 'We are not in Belize, but not quite out of the woods yet.' He also painted a picture of his 'escape' that could have been taken from a bad spy novel."

      They're scanning for him as we speak... heuristically.

    2) just buy a boat like all other rich tech guys to sail away from the corruption

    Considering all his time as an executive within the software industry, he is probably fearful of piracy.
