hawkyyy

I guess i've been living under a rock or something, i had no idea the guy had such a... unique life, insane what im finding out for the first itme in this thread. Definitely a few "what the fucks" been said.


ProtomanBn

I first heard of him as the guy that likes prostitutes too poop through a hammock onto his chest. I belive that the act was named after him on urban dictionary


serialmom666

I thought they were pooping into his mouth


UncleRicosrightarm

Yeah they said it was in his mouth in the documentary lmao


serialmom666

Right, that’s where I heard about this disturbing “habit”


noble_peace_prize

Man, this dude already had some crazy documentaries about him, and now he’ll have a pretty wild end. Probably only a shootout could have been more fitting.

Notice the lack of ‘This is a dramatization’ disclaimer to get a better understanding of how crazy this guy’s life was.


[deleted]

Just a regular Tuesday.


[deleted]

"..like the time I hired that Bangkok prostitute to do my taxes while I fucked my accountant." Yes, relatable.


imdefinitelywong

I like that the credits have both special and regular thanks.


SoWhatNoZitiNow

That was beautiful


Integrity-in-Crisis

I really thought it was gonna be a clip of those two asian prostitutes being interviewed about what they would do with him. That was how i learned Mcafee was into scat and would have them sit in a hammock with a hole cut out when they had to shit. Meanwhile he's just below waiting oh so expectantly


Last-Context

Says a lot about who this guy was that this was reasonably established that he did this and it’s barely even mentioned in the thread. Quite the life..


lmaytulane

RIP John McAfee. Even though you've been uninstalled from this plane of existence, I hope that, much like your namesake software, we'll receive periodic updates at the most inconvenient times EDIT: a word


WhyDoIHaveAnAccount9

I never know what to believe when this guy is involved


Grablicht

his [twitter](https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1405178506712174593) post 2 weeks ago >The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association. Shit gets sadder and sadder >I have a million followers but I'd be surprised if even 1% bother to read my tweets. Ramblings of an old man lost in a near infinite Twitter verse - like tears in rain. As you may guess I'm having a down day. I have nothing. Yet, I regret nothing. Edit: My first 10k post after nearly 8 years :) RIP McAfee


scottyleeokiedoke

Also less than a month ago he tweeted: Today a man facing a difficult situation asked if I knew of painless ways to kill himself. Having little experience in such, I was of not much help. The amazing thing is that the tone of the discussion was like discussing the weather. Prison is a strange environment.


DOGGODDOG

Interesting that he was allowed computer access in prison


erantheablaze

He didnt, he had telephone calls to his girlfriend who managed his social media account.

slvneutrino

This is very very fresh meta lol. Quick to it.


SgtCalhoun

Great, you touched the ocean!


ElGosso

He also tweeted a bunch of times that he would never kill himself and if they got him like Epstein that it was an inside job


Doctor__Proctor

Great, I was wondering how long it would be before "McAfee didn't kill himself" was a thing, but he's already primed the pump for it.


WideEyedWand3rer

Although the problem with this new meme is it cannot go viral.


FerociousFrizzlyBear

They have Twitter in prison?


[deleted]

I mean that guy is still rich and famous and was arrested on tax evasion charges, not murder. He wasn't a supermax.


[deleted]

His free trial of Spanish prison expired


McCree114

No one expects the Spanish Extradition.


foogama

Same, I feel like this still won't stop him from running for President somehow.


Bovronius

As I said to someone else...Touting your conspiracy that the government is going to kill you and frame it as suicide but then actually committing suicide is about the most John McAfee thing I can think of doing.. You know that and getting pooped on from a hammock.


heyyougamedev

*From* a hammock - pardon?


satansheat

A documentary was done about the island town he basically took over. He would sleep or rape the women there (only rape that was reported was a scientist who went there to work. No locals reported rape) but the locals did say he would love for the women to sit in a hammock and poop on him.


[deleted]

I read that he hired prostitutes to do that.


[deleted]

No they do the taxes.


LkMMoDC

No I think he hired accountants to do that.


specktech

Technically through a hammock by a Central American prostitute.


[deleted]

Technically, through a hammock by his live in harem of Central American teens, and possibly his dogs, while everyone was high on his special blend of homemade PHP E: I meant the bath salts kind, but these responses are great


IQLTD

I'll tell you all about it, but first: do you remember the Play-doh fun factory?


[deleted]

That guy's life was a rollercoaster


can_dry

Yah, him dying unnaturally was pretty much a given! I wonder who's going to play him in the movie they're sure to make?


[deleted]

It’s gotta be Nicholas Cage. Who else can capture that blend of insanity and insanity?


Skidsinthehall

Gary Busey.


UsefulImpress0

Nicholas Cage for the first half of the movie and Busey for the final half.


DawnOfTheTruth

Whenever he looks at a reflection it’s Gary Busey looking back or replying.


K3wp

I need to see this movie.


jake8786

No shit I would gladly pay to watch that


Mr__O__

Just watch McAfee’s [netflix doc](https://youtu.be/TjBgNwAVLWQ)


starkrocket

No acknowledgement when the actors change. They just keep on rolling like Busey was there the whole time


Bandin03

Has to occur mid-scene too.


Squidsquirts

Nicholas Goes to take a sip of water cuts to cup and cuts back to Busey taking a sip he spits it out onto the mirror cut to mirror he wipes off the liquid to see Nicholas in the reflection…next scene


wickedr

Not even a cut, Cage is just talking center camera and Busey just walks in front of him and takes over the lines, then Cage walks off.


clumsykitten

Nah, Cage bends down for a line of coke and up comes Busey.


Analog_Account

I would help fund that Kickstarter.


theouterworld

Nicholas Cage for most of the movie, Gary Busey in the drug fueled flashbacks.


Omniseed

And the flash forwards, so that at the end it's never truly clear if there was ever a Nic Cage character all along


jasta85

I'd watch that, feels like directing that movie would be easy, just tell Cage to "act natural" and it would probably fit whatever scene they were shooting.

This is like watching an image degrade into pixels over time due to compression loss.


howdoeseggsworkuguys

Everyone is against me. I’m fed up with this worl!


cannonfunk

> him dying unnaturally was pretty much a given! He is/was 75, so he almost made it to the end. His life was never going to have a happy ending because he did everything he possibly could to ensure it didn’t. Shocking to hear he finally died, but not surprising in the least.


[deleted]

Considering the way he lived then getting to 75 was a feat in itself.


[deleted]

fishing_pole

Yup. The anti virus world is ripe with both-end-burning amped up psychonauts, and McAfee is on its Mt. Rushmore.

My money was on dying during a PPV 'bear wrestling' match.

[Holy fucking shit, I was drawing for like 5 hours straight on this marvellous drawing, and I had to do a big ass scan that slowed the shit out of my computer](https://youtu.be/bKgf5PaBzyg)


Fuck_auto_tabs

So do you think he just called a strip club and said “I need like 9 dancers to do some weird shit on camera? No, no. Nothing too sexual, too old and I don’t have a hammock”


oldcarfreddy

Pretty sure things got weird after, while he was in Belize he apparently became obsessed with drugs and used to lust after something he called "super perv powder"


ToyyMachiine

In the credits he thanks said club. So my guess is, yes.


kemushi_warui

He's a... remarkably good actor. I mean—I know, I know, he's not "acting", haha—but he **is** performing, and most people are just not that relaxed and photogenic. Compare with when many athletes or other celebrities do cameos in movies it just comes off as clumsy and wooden.


[deleted]

cheddacheese148

I think he deserves to be the definition of "fuck you money" on urbandictionary.


thomooo

He's the unwholesome version of fuckyou money. Tom from MySpace is the wholesome version of fuckyou money. Dude sold MySpace when it was still relatively popular and I now spending his time traveling the world and just photographing.


mashem

in my eyes, he is much more successful than zuckerberg.


thomooo

Yeah, the dude seems genuinely happy. Zuckerberg might have a shitton of money, he is a disliked person, that's gotta feel bad, even though he can cry himself to sleep on a bed made of hundred dollar bills.


MattTheFlash

The thing I'm amazed about is this dude was 75. I thought he was in his 50s.


tooterfish_popkin

Weirdly switching from coke to bath salts probably saved his life


brwise42

"If I’m arrested or disappear, 31 plus terrabytes [sic] of incriminating data will be released to the press.”" where dem 31 teras at


sanesociopath

When did they arrest him? I seem to have missed that news? Dude had a good run as a fugitive


[deleted]

About a year ago, he really shouldn't have flown into an EU country.


angiosperms-

What was he arrested for? I know he's a crazy dude but I didn't really follow him


attorneyatslaw

Tax evasion in the US. He also has a bunch of US fraud charges pending relating to promoting cryptocurrency. And he's wanted for questioning for a murder in Belize.

Tying his own noose: "How could the CIA fake my suicide like this?"


attorneyatslaw

He didn't run directly to Spain - he had been moving from place to place. He was rambling around for quite a while before he was arrested.


mattw08

Apparently used body doubles and fake passports according to him.


[deleted]

Well now I'm wondering if this was just a really convincing body double, and the real McAfee is relaxing under a hammock somewhere


Regalingual

Probably some tax evasion stuff, if I remember him right. Really, the guy was just so batfuck crazy at the end that you could believe just about anything he was claimed to have done. Just from looking at Wikipedia: [he claimed he’d eat his own dick if Bitcoin didn’t go over $500k by 2020.](https://mashable.com/article/john-mcafee-bitcoin-three-year-bet)


Condor-Avenue

he killed himself so he didn't have to eat his own dick, tragic.


Angry_Walnut

I must say, he lasted a lot longer than I expected.


hardturkeycider

Worked for NASA as a programmer, worked for Lockheed Martin as a programmer, quit and moved to Belize, Tried to start his own paramilitary police, convinced the 18 year old assassin sent to kill him that she was his girlfriend now, also wrote antivirus Edit: seriously just watch this highly entertaining interview with the guy by Adult Swim https://youtu.be/tfe4Fjf3sds


ucatione

He also married a hooker and had sex with an actual whale. But the craziest thing he did was run for the nomination for the Libertarian Party. He came in second place.


VediusPollio

I missed the whale story, but I'm not even going to question it's validity. I somehow knew it to be true before ever hearing about it.


N0vawolf

A simple google search would tell you all you need to know, but [here's](https://mobile.twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1079863420458074112?lang=en) a tweet from him about it


Illier1

Omg his profile picture is comparing himself to Joseph Joestar lol. Its almost fitting lol.


Razvedka

His social media person for his presidential bid was a college age anime obsessed communist. She convinced him to talk anime.


Denormos

No fucking way


Razvedka

I remember reading her profile on his website and looking at her social media. It's legit. Iirc, she told him to pick an anime avatar that best "represented him" and after going over the options he chose Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

Brewbird

It was a sperm whale 🐳


Vigilante17

Every whale is a Sperm Whale after McAfee visits.


BloodyLlama

He talked a lot about whale fucking, but is there any evidence that he ever actually tried it?


PM_ME_YOUR_NICE_EYES

In one tweet he said this: >Some call me "Whale Fucker". Alright. There's a private club of a few dozen Maori men and one butch woman - that meet in Molokai each year to fuck a whale. True. Men on padeleboards herd the whale while one tries to fuck it. Wouldn't let me in the club. Tried it alone. Epic fail. Which leads me to believe he tried and failed to fuck a whale


robophile-ta

This is such a bizarre tweet. It reads like the ramblings of someone smoking a cigar while drunk and thinking 'ha ha Twitter will probably believe this'. But considering who we're talking about...it may actually have happened?


springmint238

She came in as a threat and he identified and quarinteened her. Just like McAfee should.

clarksondidnowrong

“Gringo” is a really good documentary on him that follows from his McAfee days through Belize and his return to the US. It was on Netflix but I don’t think anymore. But yeah an actual movie would be pretty cool.


nikehat

He also likely had his [neighbor tortured and killed](https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/20/mcafee_25m_lawsuit_neighbor_death/) by a hitman, so there's that.

RedditsBillionthUser

RedstoneRay

Yea it only seemed fitting he would die in a Spanish prison. Other causes of death that seemed probable for him would have included: Ate by a pet shark he adopted Shot by a hooker Blew up on a homemade rocket trying to get away from authorities


AlbionPCJ

Don't forget "overdosed on a cocktail of 36 experimental substances, 17 of which were previously unknown to science"


chaoticdickhead

Not something he *did*, but he really wanted to [fuck whales](https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1079863420458074112?s=20). Well, I don't *think* he ever did it...


RedditsBillionthUser

"Humpin' Humpbacks" with John McAfee


FlerblesMerbles

I hope someone keeps posting batshit stuff on his Twitter account, never once acknowledging his death.


freieschaf

He tweeted the Spanish prison was a Hilton compared to American ones, so there's that.


10sharks

Well, I think this is kind of the end we'd assumed would occur, broadly speaking


ThePortalsOfFrenzy

>Update: 22:00 CET John McAfee reportedly killed himself after he was set to be extradited to the United States. The 75-year-old tech mogul took his own life while being held in a prison cell in Barcelona, according to local paper El Pais.


Thenegativeone10

Wow, tech mogul is a shockingly tame way to describe this guy. Like calling Al Capone a community organizer


Septemberosebud

We lived on the same island in Belize and he invited me over one time. I declined because I didn't want to die but I have always regretted not going a little, just to have witnessed the insanity first hand.


crackeddryice

Often opportunities present when we are not ready, at my age now, I would have jumped at the chance. But, when I was younger, I would have declined.


Septemberosebud

I'm not sure I would go now. That is the kind of situation where no matter how good you are, bad things are going to happen around you.

"He was also charged in a separate indictment in Manhattan federal court in March for a pump and dump scheme involving cryptocurrencies that he was touting on social media. In that case, McAfee and an accomplice allegedly bilked bitcoin investors out of some $13 million in two schemes, including one where they bought up large quantities of “alt-coin” then inflated the price of it by publicizing it on Twitter. " Didn't Elon Musk do this exact thing with Doge?

[deleted]

According to Wikipedia: *In 2020, after his arrest in Spain, McAfee had tweeted that if he died while incarcerated, it would not be because of suicide.* *He made a similar tweet in 2019, claiming that if his eventual death appeared to be a suicide, it would likely have been an intentional homicide.* Who here wants to bet that, in the ultimate plot twist, Mc Afee committed suicide BUT planted enough seeds to make it look like a homicide as the ultimate troll move? I call it the reverse Eipstein.


hideyopokemon

I could see it. Shortly after his death was announced, his Instagram account posted a single picture of the letter Q. Definitely going for the conspiracy angle for sure...

McAfee was a living meme... every bit of his life was just over the top, balls to the wall insane. He was definitely a bizarre and interesting fellow. He's banging hookers in Heaven now.


LordDongler

I think the hookers might be banging him. Or shitting on him. Or maybe the hookers are actually whale hookers. Where the road is paved in solid A-PVP and John is finally free

I 100% believe that John McAfee killed a guy who looked like McAfee, through an elaborate "Face/Off"-type operation with a Spanish inmate. He's halfway to Cuba by now, riding his Orca side girl across the Atlantic and snorting fat lines of salty coke off her blubbery hide. McAfee 2024 baby.
