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."

    What a great article. No indication of what the actual blog address is except in an image.

    The fella's website is http://www.whoismcafee.com/

    My “double”, carrying on a North Korean passport under my name, was in fact detained in Mexico for pre-planned misbehavior, but due to indifference on the part of authorities was evicted from the jail and was unable to serve his intended purpose in our exit plan. He is now safely out of Mexico.

    Frankly, I don't know why anyone would link to Network World when they don't link to their sources.

    Anyway I just wanted to say that. I don't actually care about the story.

    Because he is the geek equivalent to Charlie Sheen;
    batshit crazy, totally fried on drugs, paranoid, goes of on ranting tirades, has no concept of reality, funny as hell to watch from a distance, and explains why the anti-virus we all hate is so crappy and validates our belief that he is brain-dead that we long ago derived from said anti-virus
