Antivirus pioneer John McAfee is on the run from murder charges, Belize police say. According to Marco Vidal, head of the national police force's Gang Suppression Unit, McAfee is a prime suspect in the murder of American expatriate Gregory Faull, who was gunned down Saturday night at his home in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye.
Details remain sketchy so far, but residents say that Faull was a well-liked builder who hailed originally from California. The two men had been at odds for some time. Last Wednesday, Faull filed a formal complaint against McAfee with the mayor's office, asserting that McAfee had fired off guns and exhibited "roguish behavior." Their final disagreement apparently involved dogs.

LOL; great series, back in the day.
Color me a puritan also.... that is sick.
I think the big takeaway here is to wash your hands before eating.
Dr. Jekyll-paging Dr. Jekyll...
“annoying update now! messages with no way to turn them off except removing the software.”
One of the reasons I switched to Norton, a few years ago.
I grew up in Belize, in the town where McAfee has been living...San Pedro is the big tourist Caye.
I sometimes got McAfee Antivirus preinstalled on computers, but couldn’t get it off fast enough. I get free use of Symantic Endpoint, the corporate version of Norton, which seems to work much better than Norton.
If they put this jerk away for murder, it sounds as if the world will benefit.
If he’s a US citizen and gets back into the US, I’m pretty sure he can’t be extradited.
Sicko
from the CNET forum:
The truth of the matter is at the courthouse. I was formally charged on Monday at approximatey 6:30 P.M. and all charges were dropped before midnight that same day. The press releases are pure posturing because I am suing the government. It’s as simple as that.

UPDATE: The local San Pedro Sun has posted a story about the case.
The story corrects the victim’s name to Gregory Viant Faull, 52, formerly of Miami, whom it says was apparently killed by a single gunshot to the back of the head Saturday night or Sunday morning. A laptop computer and iPhone were said to be missing from Faull’s residence.
McAfee is not named as a suspect, but rather as someone whom police believe “may be able to assist them in their investigation.”
The story also says Faull “had a misunderstanding with a neighbor in the area” relating to “armed security intimidating residents along the beach.”
McAfee apparently lived close to Faull and was not home when police arrived to question him.
No one ever said that people with so much money also had common sense or good taste.
Do you know why is it called bath salt? Certainly, it is not like bath salts we know like Epsom Salt or is it?
LOL
