I'm sure the McAfee corporation are very quietly, in their boardroom, saying "phew, about time".

 

He was very much pushing the limits on "any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right"

Without being unkind, I don't think you can assume that. McAfee was never really that good of an Antivirus product!

Sadly he was a man with many problems (success / money can do that to you) he fell from a great height in the business world, hopefully he is now at peace RIP

The whole thing reads like a Hunter S. Thompson story.

There's an interesting documentary about John that covers his time and escape from there as well https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6071534/

 

Worth a watch
