    If Belize is a problem for him, why doesn't he move back to the US? He still has his US citizenship, and Guatemala will seek to deport him to the US.

    How can he have a valid asylum claim if his country of citizenship isn't giving him a problem? Or is he going to claim that the US will extradite him to Belize?

    Well, it's not up to him now, is it?

    "He entered the country illegally and we are going to seek his expulsion for this crime," Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said.

    Guatemala government spokesman Francisco Cuevas said McAfee would be expelled to Belize and he expected the process to be completed by early Thursday morning.

    I'm quite sure that he was trying to get back to the US or someplace which suited him.

    Did it, though?

    I'd love to actually get some interesting comments about McAfee, his pathology (sociopath) for example, when opening these Slashdot threads. But nope, it's just more "anti-virus" jokes. Every single thread. Jokes repeated ad nauseam.

    I think the problem is that there's really nothing to say and this isn't news for nerds.
