John McAfee Triggers the Ultimate False Positive

Barence writes "The wild man of antivirus software, John McAfee, has been forced to deny reports of his own death. Internet reports circulating last night claimed the hard-living security software entrepreneur had died after one too many drink and drugs sessions. However, McAfee has taken to his Twitter account in the past few hours to assure everyone that he's still alive, and hasn't mislaid his sense of humour.'"I felt great when I went to bed last night. I had such great plans,' tweeted McAfee, alongside a link to a report — now hastily withdrawn — that claimed he had died from an overdose."

    He's also another example of an American fugitive hiding from justice. Funny how Americans kick and scream and intervene in other countries until their authorities give up their own citizens to America to face "terror related charges" like copyright infringement, or making a huge deal out of Snowden and how Russia "slapped the US in the face" by taking him in, but they seem to have no trouble harboring the likes of McAfee, Knox, Watson, all of whom are wanted by Interpol.
