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"

if anyone hasn't seen the documentary on him , then it is worth a watch to see how nuts he was.

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

Recommended reading: Wired - John McAfee Fled to Belize, But He Couldn't Escape Himself

 

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

Possibly a murderer, possibly nuts, and definitely a drug fiend of more drugs than most people could name.

Does anyone know what McAfee's conspiracy theory was?
