"Was he on the spectrum? (Aspbergers?)"Somewhere. A guy that smart, yet consistently a victim of the last person he talked to. Too many hobgoblins.

Wikipedia says the following: “When McAfee was 15, his father, an abusive alcoholic, committed suicide by gunshot.”
McAfee’s father was an American serviceman and his mother was British.

McAfee Tweeted many times he would never suicide himself. He said the day you hear that, then you know he was murdered.
Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm.

No. Not an opinion at all. When they first started taking out full page ads about the “dangers” of viruses the vast majorities of PCs never talked to another computer. There was NO virus danger. They sold baseless fear. That is an indisputable fact.

McAfee
specifically and
pointedly said he would NOT be committing suicide.
At this point, the Deep State is simply showing off.
