JOHN MCCAFEE
The excesses and the genius of John McAfee, creator of the well-known antivirus.
We are in 1986, many owners of IBM PC clash for the first time with unusual anomalies in the use of their Computer.
The reaction is of total panic, people wonder what is happening and one of the most common questions is: "but computers can get sick"?
The answer as we all know well is YES
While the world and the media wondered why someone could be so bastard to compromise the work of others by sabotaging their PC, someone more brilliant and clever saw an opportunity: John Mcafee
shortly, he would soon become the creator of the McAfee Associates, as well as the protagonist of a life of excess, between myth and reality.
The market begins to collapse and is forced to sell the company in 2009 and move to Belize (in Central America).
In Belize he buys an immense property on the most beautiful island in the country and begins to devote himself to the production of natural antibiotics, creating a company called Quorumex and hiring a researcher to direct the process
In these years he made a crazy and very, very, very similar lifestyle to that of a Scarface gangster.
McAfee begins to have a strong paranoia, and begins to think that the Government of Belize wants to take it out.
But the real mess starts in 2012, when special departments in Belize break into his home in search of drugs. In fact, John McAfee had a sophisticated laboratory for extracting antibiotics directly from plants, as we have written above. And the State of Belize had reason to think that it was a cover for the synthesis of drugs to be traded online.
In November of the same year dogs die, all of them. They are found with the foam at the mouth lying on their feet from McAfee's guards.
John has no doubts: they have been poisoned. As it happens, Gregory Faull, a neighbor of McAfee, had complained about dogs on several occasions.
What is strange, instead, is the fact that the following day Gregory Faull was found dead in his house, with showy signs of torture, dozens of taser burns on the whole body and the head opened by a blow of pistol.
In a short time, John McAfee becomes the main suspect.
McAfee on his blog writes that the death of the American citizen is a conspiracy of the Government of Belize to its detriment
He decides to disappear by hiding himself with the help of one of his most trusted "killers".
Transferred to guatemala, however, he is caught by wiretapping and begins to be afraid of extradition to Belize.
But the extradition is not given to him and is therefore sent back to the United States.
In 2015, safe in America, he announced he wanted to run for President of the United States of America. At first he wants to have a party of his own, the Cyber Party, but then he looks back and creates a party called the Libertarian Party (you can imagine the reasons he was referring to).
as you can imagine he didn't succeed, but he remained in strong visibility again after a crazy and extravagant period.
