This had me checking, fortunately SBF is currently in jail and almost certainly headed for prison. Also want to drop a reminder that McAfee publicly announced shortly before his death that he had no intention of suicide and expected assassination attempts after his incarceration.

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago

But he was also completely insane.

[-] chowdertailz@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Also meth. Probably lots of meth.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

But he had a vast array of enemies.

How wacky would it be for him to announce that, and then commit suicide just to mess with everyone.

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

It would be on brand tbh

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I have an inkling that he faked his own death. Or they killed him.

But him faking his own death would be 100% something he would do.

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

tfw there is literally nothing you can say that can stop the media from faking your suicide

Side story here.

I've been in one of McAfee's houses after he died. A friend texted me one morning asking if I'd like to go to McAfee's house. He had a friend that recently acquired a prior house of McAfee. Of course, I said yes, and drove 2hours to get there.

Decent sized house, probably 6k square feet. There was definitely money put into this place. In-ground pool, hot-tub, the works.

It was just recently acquired. All the furniture in the house was original, left by McAfee! My friend and I were given permission to search the house as far as we wanted, without destroying anything of course. We searched high and low for flash drives, anything really. Searched the dirt "crawlspace" for a bit, you could stand up in there and it looked like someone had been digging around quite a bit.

The only thing we found was a maybe 6x6inch hole cut out of the drywall behind a dresser, like someone knew were something was and took it out the wall.

We played pool on a pool table that had dried splattered blood on it. Found tombstone still tied to a pallet out back that had something along the lines of "RIP BTC", it also had a qr code, I think it linked to LTC, I can't remember and the picture was lost due to me leaving my sd card in a phone and selling said phone..

His room was weird, had a pull down like garage door that looked bullet proof and two big doors with wood 6in thick. Probably 50 cameras all over the property.

Weird tid bit, shortly after the family moved in, they had an influx of people coming by and insisting they owned a piece of furniture that was in the house and they want it back. Some of the people insisted to come in and make sure the furniture isn't there anymore. They were all declined.

And that's my story of the random text I got from a friend to party and search McAfee's house.

Naked? Check. Holding a gun? Check. It is most definitely John McAfee. Lol.

[-] FUCKRedditMods@lemm.ee 65 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He’s not having a hooker shit on his chest through a hammock though, might not be him.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

He might be fucking a whale, we can't tell

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

If there's one thing consistent about John McAfee, its that he doesn't like to wear a shirt.

John McAfee the man that paid women to take a dump on him from a hammock above him?

Is that John McAfee?

Sure as hell ain't Peter Norton.

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Yep, dude seriously went off the deepend after he sold McAfee

[-] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 29 points 1 year ago

He was definitely odd, but even a broken clock is right twice a day; He hated what his old company has become, and at least owned up to the fact that he had a lady shit on his chest. When asked about it in interviews, he basically said something along the lines of “when you’re richer than God and have had sex with gorgeous women every day, things start to get stale and you look for more and more extreme things to get you going.”

He also 100% predicted that he was going to be Epstein’ed in a prison cell. He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job. He specifically tweeted something along the lines of “if I’m ever found to have hanged myself, it wasn’t a suicide. It was a whack job.” He was found dead in a prison cell, with the death ruled a suicide by hanging. Which is either prophetic (he believed the US had a bounty on him, so he was very paranoid about getting murdered with the government covering it up,) or the best troll ever.

[-] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 24 points 1 year ago

I think it really was just an epic troll. The man had run out his cash reserves, was at an age where he must've started feeling old. Spent decades experimenting wildly with drugs. He was by every outward metric a broken person. And also a person that valued his freedom to do whatever above everything else. Prison, forced clean and facing the very real possibility of never tasting freedom again. I just can't imagine that he wouldn't snap, which is a failure of the state to not keep him safe while in their ward. He was also extremely action oriented, he wasn't the type to contemplate suicide, it's either do it or don't.

[-] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 24 points 1 year ago

Getting sober for the first time in decades, without proper medical support, is enough to become suicidal for sure. Hell, even with proper support, the psychological adjustment can be overwhelming.

And we're not talking sober of mild drugs either. I fully believe this man did pretty much all drugs at least once.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job

The dude was also just fucking insane from 50 years of drug use lol. Wouldn't be surprised if committed suicide to troll the world or for his own crazy meth head paranoia reasons, but he was probably just crashing hard.

McAfee was the one good CEO.

He lived as he preached, dangerously and with no regard for the shareholders.

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He had his own police force and basically was a dictator on an island

If I was rich and crazy, I'd want to be John McAfee, not some failed, pasty crypto-nerd.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

To be fair, John was a crypto nerd too

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago

But cool one with blackjack, hookers, cocaine and guns.

You mean Sam Bankman-Fried? The guy who fled to the Bahamas and then was arrested and extradited?

Sam Bankman-Incarcerated is kinda screwed now thanks to his Sam Bankman-witness-intimidation.

The judge is pissed would be the understatement of the Sam Bankman-Century.

[-] nicman24@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

dude was far cry villain or protagonist not clear on that

[-] Holyginz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I mean, trea them like the Russian oligarchs and seize their money then. No such thing as a completely ethical billionaire and better to return the money to the original economy.

What did I miss? Where did he flee to now?

[-] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

He didn't flee, he was based out of the Bahamas to try to evade taxes and regulation, not extradition, this meme isn't accurate.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Is it just me or does McAfee kind of look like Frank Woods here

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That crypto-scammer was on some kind of super hard-core drug that gets administered through a patch on his skin...I don't remember what it's called, but it's super expensive shit.

And the creator of McAffee isn't a real tech-CEO, because the software he created doesn't work.
