McAfee Was Not Captured

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."

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.

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.
