Authorities Reportedly Question McAfee's Ex-girlfriend (networkworld.com)
netbuzz writes: While antivirus software pioneer John McAfee is in the media spotlight for his long-shot Libertarian presidential run, law enforcement authorities in Belize and the FBI have just this week reportedly questioned one of his ex-girlfriends as they continue to investigate the 2012 murder of McAfee's American neighbor. That probe prompted McAfee to flee Belize and eventually land back in the United States. McAfee has steadfastly denied any involvement in the murder.
You are all cows. You just pretend to be humens.
Looks like someone's stirring the pot. I don't know who, but it looks like John really pissed someone off. But, until there's formal action, it's just blowing smoke up peoples asses. Trial by media, OMG what about the children??
Police have been tight-lipped about Emshwillerâ(TM)s detention and it is not known what specifically she is being questioned about. But it is known that she was one of McAfeeâ(TM)s girlfriend at the time. http://edition.channel5belize....

First, it's ex-girlfriends not ex-girlfriend's
Second, by the number of comments it's farly clear how much people care about the topic.
Greetings to you, Beau "BeauHD" Hamilton! Welcome to the Slashdot family! Since you're new here, or at least new to most of us, can you introduce yourself? How long have you known about Slashdot? Did you participate here before becoming an editor?
Which girlfriend are the questioning? The accountant? Or the Bangkok prostitute?
Holy fuck, that apostrophe is' unacceptable.
WTF are Emshwillerâ(TM)s and McAfeeâ(TM)s ??
Its amazing how spooks and feds pop up to investigate things during election runs.
Its almost like the military are leveraged to keep certain people and groups in power. The very same people who give them loads of funding.
I would recommend a RICO investigation, but the foxes are guarding the henhouse these days.
Its obvious how this one ends...
Do you idiots understand you don't pluralize with an apostrophe?
Can we get some editors who can, you know, edit?
While antivirus software pioneer John McAfee is in the media spotlight for his long-shot Libertarian presidential run...
I'm sorry, but if he's "in the spotlight" for his presidential run, it's pretty dim, maybe needs a new bulb.

McAfees been murdering computers for years. I'm not surprised.
You dated *him*? Really? Really!?
McAfee has written antivirus software, we all know.
But has he ever written a filesystem?
It's worthy to note that the FBI and US government have been focusing there attention on libertarians and the Free State Project. Numerous activists have been targeted and arrested for non-crimes.
James Cleveland was charged for recording a police interaction. The jury deadlocked 6-6 on "Disorderly Conduct" (ie half the jury didn't believe he was disorderly and he clearly wasn't from his own videos of the interaction!!!) and they vindicated him completely on the “resisting” arrest charge.
Uber activist Christopher David was arrested not for driving illegally which would have resulted in a minor fine and citation, but rather on trumped up Class B felony wiretapping charges, for get this: recording a bouncer in public who was attempting to bully him into stopping his work as an Uber driver. It is well settled case law that you have no right to privacy in public and everyone has a right to record. Despite this the government charged him with wiretapping and stole $5,000 from him (bail).
Jessica Wardell, other libertarian activists, and those on the other side of the political spectrum made headlines for activism around equality under the law within the scope of female tonelessness in public. This was more social than legal initially as in New Hampshire there is no law against female tonelessness, but despite that the government took action against some of the activists under illegal ordinances. The ordinances were thrown out on appeal as under New Hampshire law towns do not have the power to pass such laws. Fortunately thanks to a libertarian lawyer and activist we won this battle.
Rich Paul led a series of protest rallies in Keen's central square in New Hampshire against the criminalization of illegal drugs. He is a user and minor dealer of marijuana (both for medical and recreational use) and major public critic of the current law. What makes this a case of political persecution was the FBI's involvement in the case against him for small time drug dealing (marijuana). The FBI does not normally get involved in small time drug dealing cases. The reason they setup a sting on the drugs was so that they could utilize him as an informant to attack the libertarian political activists in Keene, NH. They wanted him to wear a bug into the KAC (Keene Activist Center). Keep in mind libertarians don't believe in the use of force/violence and while there *are* acts of civil disobedience none result in harm to other people. He chose not to plead guilty for a no-jail sentence and faced 100 years in prison. This far exceeds what major cartel leaders often get. None-the-less he was found guilty (unsurprisingly) and if not for criminal action by the judge for denying him his right to inform the jury about the juries right to nullify bad law he would likely be in jail today. Thankfully thanks to other activists in New Hampshire the defendants now have the right to inform the juries about here rights to nullify bad law and as that wasn't allowed by the judge he was able to and successfully appealed the case.
Numerous other activists have been arrested and persecuted on trumped up charges for what should be considered non-criminal activity. Other examples include Ross Ulbricht (Silk Road fame) who did not receive a fair trial. He was denied the complete set of evidence and facts which would have aided in his defence and the judge then didn't permit the entrance of evidence or a defence that would have shown the serious cracks in the prosecutors case. He was in all respects denied the right to defend himself or question the reliability of the evidence presented by the prosecution. The judge had a clear bias against illegal drug use and proceeded to throw the book at Ross. At best Ross operated a web site that acted as a market place for the exchange of goods and was not himself a drug dealer. This is assuming that he was in fact the operator of the web site and not merely the producer of the software it ran. Ross denies having been the operator, but admits having written the software behind it (the s

This is a picture of Jessica Wardell's tits, it is obviously NSFW:

(AC probably meant topless as opposed to tonelessness.) Also, I have no idea why Ross was in with that but I did remember her name and the Free The Nipple bit. So, my fellow Slashdotters - the boobies are yours to behold!
Meh, they're not bad boobies, especially for her age.

It doesn't matter if it happened in Belize, this is the sort of thing the FBI does for American citizens where ever they are.
Is there a number that I should call to arrange that?
That it happened in Belize is actually rather telling, and if you had spent any long time between, say, Mexico and Panama, you might have a different perspective on this. Government power is one or more of [a] arbitrary, [b] weak, and [c] for purchase. The drug trade supports healthy levels of gang activity all along the coast, and Belize is no exception -- far from it. I cannot begin to describe to you the level of corruption that exists in these countries, but suffice to say that the local criminal element is frequently stronger than the government.
It's pretty rare for an argument with a neighbor to result in murder. Arguments with drug lords, on the other hand...
Those who advocate genocide deserve every protection afforded by law, and none afforded by common human decency.
Aaaaannnnndd....here we have John again. Once more, I say, welcome back!
