Meth Labs and Dead Dogs: How the Founder of McAfee Antivirus Went on the Run in Belize
Gizmodo ^ | April 26, 2012 | Mat Honan

...For those of you who follow the news in Central America, you will know that I am in hiding in an undisclosed location in Belize. Hiding out is no fun. I've always wondered why people on the run turn themselves in in many cases. I now know the answer - boredom.

I am in a one room house in an uninteresting location. I have not been outdoors for 5 days. I have no cable or satellite TV and I have three DVDs - "The Human Stain", "Tierra" and "Naked". I have no books. I do have an Ipad but no charger. They are difficult to get in this country. I have 21% charge remaining - I have been rationing. Since, in the end, The only person you can trust is yourself, I have had no contact with anyone other than telephone interviews with the press.

The Gsu have issued additional charges but have not divulged what they might be. Having spent one night already sleeping on the concrete floor of the Beluze City jail I am not excited about the prospect of returning. Yes, there are no beds in belize jails. Or toilets. A half cut milk carton serves the purpose. It was tolerable until one A.M. when a drunk was added to the cell and he immediately kicked over the container. Five of us slept crowded together in the least contaminated corner. I was out before dawn so I shouldn't complain...

Belize rhymes with Police.

It's clearly a Belize State.

Belize is a corrupt place, only worse than here. He didn't pay extortion to a local politico. Since McAfee is a pig, the politico no doubt felt it appropriate.

He's in Belize because of lawsuits in the U.S. Living in the jungle, covered with tribal tats, and screwing teenage girls.

McAfee is 66-years old fornicating with teenage girls. He is exploiting these young women in a country where life is hard and they're looking for a way out. A rich white sugar-daddy would seem like a God-given gift to naive but desperate females.

We older broads know better. One of these times McAfee is going to encounter his fate in the form of a very smart and beautiful teenage girl with the instincts of a crocodile. It will be his just desserts.

Belize’s version of SWAT targeted him for unclear reasons, maybe someone didn’t get la mordida. He hadn’t done anything illegal and was presumably out of jail as soon as the stiffed party got theirs.

He had been sleeping with a 17 year old (legal age in that place).

And he’s complaining of being bored.

For many years now, the natives of Belize have achieved the The Uncoveted First Place Award in my annual report:

The Relative Uselessness of Caribbean Natives to Yachtsmen.

There simply is no way to describe their complete state of utter and ungracious dysfunction. They are so useless, their efficiency experts fly in from Jamaica. Their attitudes so rotten, the natives of the USVI look jolly and helpful. Their criminality outdoes that of Gypsy Bands.

Cause? Well, there's the daily dose of Marxism in the English Language broadcast from Cuba. There's the drug thing. There's the Gangsta Thing (I am sure Trayvon will have a school named after him ... if they can ever get it together to build a school)

Now I am sure that some folks who have done the Eco-Tourist thing there have met some perfectly "nice" people. I am talking the real people who work (LOL) around what passes for boatyards.

My question for Mr. McAfee, why Belize? Was Albania booked? Convention in North Korea?

I wonder if McAfee still owns that place in Rodeo, New Mexico? He has an ultra-light airport there to.

What is it about wealthy older men who sleep with younger women, that sends older women into such rage?

McAfee, from what I can tell from his bio, was probably an uber-nerd in his younger days. You know, the kind of guy who the pretty girls his own age would laugh at if he ever dared to ask them out.

Well, guess what? The pretty girls who rejected him forty years ago are now old and wrinkled. And the ones who divorced their husbands in search of the bigger better deal are now wondering why they are not getting asked out by the kind of successful Alpha Males they lusted after in their twenties. As I see it, this is his application of the old saying "Living well is the best revenge".

McAfee Anti-Virus is horrible bloatware resource hog.

ESET is sooo much better and it is coded mostly in assembler which makes it fast n’ lean.

at least that styrofoam heir (Dart cups?) chosen Costa Rica to go nuts in, wasn’t he trying to clone himself a younger body?

Hiding out in a jungle is living well?

I don’t think so!

“What is it about wealthy older men who sleep with younger women, that sends older women into such rage?”

LOLOLOL!!!

No way am I in a rage.

Frankly, I find Mr.McAfee’s plight pathetic for it is of his own making. I know someone who is living in Costa Rica and following the same general lifestyle. Both men have pasts filled with promise and productivity but they will both die alone, no one grieving at their passaing.

Costa Rica is a real country. Belize is not. Belize is Detroit and The South Bronx with Palm Trees.
