McAfee Security Update: Battling Belize

Security mogul John McAfee was officially taken into custody in Guatemala this week for suspected illegal entry into the country.  In case you have been living under a rock, McAfee is wanted for questioning in relation to the apparent homicide of his neighbor.  Now, lawyers for McAfee are trying relentlessly to keep him from getting shipped back to Belize to face the music.  They are arguing for asylum, but Guatemala’s Supreme Court found there was no basis to the claim. 

Then yesterday, in a big dramatic flurry, McAfee was rushed to the hospital, surrounded by paparazzi, with “cardio vascular problems.”  In a later interview, McAfee’s attorneys told the press he had “suffered from a nervous breakdown, but tests showed he did not have heart problems,” according to CNN. 

In video footage of McAfee being wheeled into the hospital on a gurney, he appears passed out or unconscious until the nurses start to take his clothes off, when he magically regains his strength enough to say “please, not in front of the press, please.”  Funny how he conveniently came back to life to keep reporters from getting a look at his stuff, eh?  This guy is a walking three-ring circus!

With respect to his legal problems, McAfee claims that he is being persecuted by authorities in Belize, and was previously saying he would remain in hiding until they found and prosecuted the real killer.  McAfee’s neighbor was found dead just two days after McAfee had reported the neighbor for having allegedly poisoned and killed McAfee’s four dogs.
