McAfee was widely reported to have hanged himself inside a Spanish jail in June 2021 while awaiting US extradition on tax evasion charges. But, according to his Belizean ex-girlfriend Samantha Herrera, he faked his own death, moved to Texas and is still alive.
“I don’t know if I should say, but two weeks ago, after his death, I got a call from Texas: ‘It’s me, John. I paid off people to pretend that I am dead, but I am not dead,'” Herrera claims in the Netflix documentary “Running With the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee,” out Wednesday.
Herrera says he told her that “there are only three persons in this world that know I’m still alive” and then asked her to run away with him.

I joined as a 16 year old back in 1978.
***************
That was a right of passage for our generation.
“By this act, ye shall learn the Law of Repercussions!”
You used your real name?
Too funny. But that .25 cent 5th Dimension 8 track was well worth it!
Like trying to remove McAfee security from your PC, he never dies.
Jimmy Hoffa is quite dead. They just never found his body.
Had he not been killed, he'd be 109 years old today.
Well he had the money to pay the cartels to bring him over the border.
“I got a call from Texas”
“Hey, it’s John. Just swam across from Piedras Negras with 5,000 new friends. We’ll be leaving Eagle Pass in a few days on a charter flight. Do you have room for us at your house?”
“Herrera claims in the Netflix documentary “
Gosh a Netflix documentary that she will profit from. she have no motive to make something up would she?!
Golly sure looks like him.
Now that was the absolute worst. I joined as a 16 year old back in 1978. It was the old “8 cassettes/LPs for a penny” ruse. So I taped a penny to the return envelope, wrote the codes down for my eight albums (i.e. LLP-443789 for the “Some Girls” album by The Rolling Stones) and made perhaps the biggest mistake in my entire life.
From that point on, Columbia House would automatically send me the “selection of the month” every month unless I responded within 7 days that I did not want it. But that was harder then it sounds because mail moved slow in those days.
So more times than not, I ended up getting something like Slim Whitman’s Greatest Hits or something from Pablo Cruise or Captain & Tennille. I was stuck with it at the list price of $16.98. Plus tax. Plus shipping and handling. Total bill was around $20 which was big money at the time. I was making $2.65 an hour bagging groceries so that full priced album I didn’t want and would never listen to was almost two part time shifts at the grocery store.
You had to purchase something like fifteen full priced albums over two years to get out of the club. But even after that, any efforts to cancel your membership were resisted. I got on the phone with them and they told me they would ship me six additional albums at no charge if I gave them another chance. Like a sucker, I accepted and I was reset back to the 15 full-priced albums to get out of the club.
Then I went to boot camp for the Marines in 1981 and I gave my mother explicit instructions to watch the mail and return any Columbia House mailings right away so they would not send me album of the month.
So I graduate from boot camp and come home to albums from Air Supply, Englebert Humperdinck and Spyro Gyra.
I was so pissed.
You should turn this into a short story or novel. Pretty close to Catcher in the Rye level.
Same for Epstein? Same for Bin Laden?
Wouldn’t surprise me. He’s a wild and crazy guy.
“I joined and realized the quality of the LPs were very, very bad as they were most likely using 3rd and 4th generation copies of “masters” to press the vinyl...at best.”
And warped super thin vinyl.
I think I opened one or two and then sent them all back.
I really hope McAfee is alive, but it is unlikely.
(did they ever release the body? Last I heard they didn’t)
Epstein on the other hand is likely living in a holy land harem...
Air Supply? You lucky guy. ;-)
Lynyrd Skynyrd & the song was Sweet Home Alabama!
AND THE REST IS HISTORY!
