One Year Since John McAfee Fled Belize

Velcroman1 writes "It has been a year since fallen software magnate John McAfee fled his adopted home and country — wanted by police for questioning in connection to the murder of his neighbor. In that year, the often eccentric programming pioneer led the media and the public on a wild ride with his outlandish behavior and off-the-wall statements during a catch-me-if you-can escape from the small Central American country. McAfee is a person of interest in the investigation surrounding the murder of his neighbor, American ex-pat Gregory Faull, near his compound in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye. No headway has been made in the investigation — and authorities in Belize are still looking to speak with McAfee. 'Nothing has really changed. It's not a closed case,' police spokesman Raphael Martinez said. 'He is still a person of interest.'"

    Mmhmm, what a wild ride. According to everyone he ever knew who talked to the media, back in the day, he was an asshole. After that he became an asshole. Then he started selling drugs. On his way out of the country he was an asshole. Then on his way to the US he was an assholes. Now, a year later, he's an asshole. So much has changed lately!
