Source article "McAfee Antivirus Founder Wanted for Murder" by
Marshall Lemon on the Escapist Magazine, November 13, 2012
John McAfee, founder and pioneer of the antivirus
industry is currently the prime suspect in the murder of, "fellow
American expatriate" Gregory Faull. The Belize national police have
been after him for questioning since the murder and John McAfee claims
innocence for the murder. Gregory Faull, who was found in his home in
San Pedro with a gunshot wound to the head, is known to have past
relations with John McAfee and apparently not friendly relations.
Reports state that two had been on bad terms for a while with a
history of a formal complaint being made by Faull against McAfee for
firing guns and displaying "roguish behavior".
McAfee Inc., formerly known as McAfee associates had come up with its
antivirus program as early as 1987 just as the internet was first
being established. After McAfee got the ball rolling he sold his
company for $100 million and moved to Belize to start a herbal drug
operation of all things. Moving from a computer technical industry to
a herbal drug operation doesn't exactly say "stable" in the first
place.
McAfee had established his operation in Belize but it did not come
without price or suspicion. McAfee's herbal company hit a bump in the
road and he became "increasingly erratic" and was estranged by other
American expatriates in the country. It was stated that McAfee had
hired criminals and drug traffickers for his security staff as well as
being reportedly seen on a Russian-hosted website about his efforts to
purify bath salts, the infamous and well-known hallucinogenic drug. In
April, police raided McAfee's compound arresting him and discovering a
drug lab and a full armory full of weapons. McAfee was reluctantly
released upon the discovery that it was all legally obtained and
licensed.
Because of their past relationship McAfee has been deemed to be the
prime suspect when Faull was found with a gunshot wound to the head
with his laptop and iPhone missing. McAfee has been busy dodging local
police in sandboxes and running declaring his innocence. There is a
conspiracy that he was set up but officials are still being cautious
upon their leads.
