John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite

paysonwelch points out John McAfee's latest blog post, which "details the complex spy network that he used to tap information from the highest echelons of the Belizean government. He might consider a new career as a movie producer — this blog post is enthralling. Here is an excerpt: 'I purchased 75 cheap laptop computers and, with trusted help, intalled invisible keystroke logging software on all of them — the kind that calls home (to me) and disgorges the text files. I began giving these away as presents to select people — government employees, police officers, Cabinet Minister's assistants, girlfriends of powerful men, boyfriends of powerful women.'"

    explain how he sidestepped a murder charge from a soverign nation

    He didn't. He is a person of interested wanted for questioning, not a charged criminal. If he was a charged criminal, fleeing to the US wouldn't help, as the US has an extradition treaty with Belize that provides for the extradition of criminals charged with any of a wide array of crimes, including, naturally, as #1 on the list, murder.

    There is nothing about this entire series of unfortunate events that shouldnt warrant immediate extradition to Belize

    You mean, other than the fact that Belize hasn't criminally charged him with anything, much less anything subject to the extradition treaty with the US?

    Unfortunately Mr McAfee wasnt found accused of these crimes in say, the Soviet Union or China

    Or, for that matter, anywhere else. Because he hasn't actually been charged with any crimes, anywhere.
