John McAfee Collapses At Guatemala Detention Center
An anonymous reader writes with this snippet from ABC News: "Software millionaire John McAfee has been taken to a Guatemala City hospital via ambulance after suffering a possible heart attack at the detention center where he is being held. McAfee, 67 — who may soon be deported back to Belize, where authorities want to question him about the shooting death of his neighbor — was reportedly prostrate on the floor of his cell and unresponsive. He was wheeled into the hospital on a gurney, but when nurses began removing his suit, he became responsive and said, 'Please, not in front of the press.' Earlier today, McAfee had complained of chest pains."
That is the oldest jail cell trick in the book. I'm glad it still works.

There once was a man from Belize
Who suffered from heart disease
When offered revivial
He'd cry for survival
"Not in front of the press, please!"
When the foot seeks the place of the head, the line is crossed. Know your place. Keep your place. Be a shoe.
I'm guessing it was a virus.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.

Why do people always target drugs?
Honestly, when you're around 67 years old, I'd like to see you spend a full month running from the government; little sleep, always on the move, old worn down body, hiding in trees, mind fucked from all the worrying...
And *then* try telling me that it's drugs.
I'm not saying that there are in fact no drugs involved--I don't know, and neither do you--but seriously, quit placing the blame for every single health condition on recreational drugs for a change. If drugs are found to be a cause, then you could add those to the potential causes, but don't fucking forget old age, which you don't need any drugs at all to take a toll on your health.
And you know what? A lot of people take drugs, er, I mean "medication" that their doctors prescribe them once they get up in age and start having heart problems (who would've guessed, eh?). Ever think that if he is supposed to be taking prescription drugs, that maybe, just maybe, they're not exactly his top priority while trying to save himself from the Belize government? What if the *lack* of drugs combined with stress and old age are doing him in? There are too many factors that could be involved, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about recreational drugs.

McAfee is a well known user of MPDV. He was a frequent poster on bluelight.ru, a recreational drug forum.
This isn't out of left field. He used the shit out of MPDV.
you druggies are all the same
You stereotypers are all the same.
They can take my LifeAlert pendant when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
It's all about the FSB. The FSB and Kaspersky.
You see, Kaspersky and McAfee have been the two top contenders for the anti-virus throne for nearly a decade now - big money has been made by both sides. What few people know is that McAfee and Kaspersky have been working together for a long time on manufacturing crippling viruses, dividing up clients evenly, infiltrating large organisations with 'update backdoors' - and this isn't even all the illegal activities they've been involved in.
But in September of last year, McAfee stabbed their long-time cohorts in the back by making a move with Intel that manouvred McAfee into a market position that Kaspersky could no longer take - Ultrabooks. Anti-theft software you say? No, exclusive backdoors on a technology that they knew every manager across western society would procure. And McAfee had done this without Kaspersky. Why was this so important to Kaspersky? Because their greatest source of income/raison d'être was on-selling high-level root access to managerial and corporate systems across western society to the FSB (whom they work very closely with).
Now what has this got to do with McAfee the man and his purported murder of his next door neighbour? Let me tell you. The company McAfee's greatest mistake was not rebranding when the founder moved on. McAfee's brand is built on the name of the man himself. Turn the man into public enemy #1 and a crazy schizophreniac and you have destroyed the company's reputation.
This leads us back to the beginning: the FSB ordered and carried out the assasination of an innocent human to bring down a corporate empire so that McAfee would be forever distanced from the security industry and so that they would lose their foothold on the next big corporate purchase - ultrabooks. Kaspersky (FSB) badly wants their backdoors in the corporate west.
You've heard it here first.
