Fugitive Software Pioneer John McAfee Reportedly Arrested in Guatemala

Posted on | December 5, 2012 | 6 Comments

He lost most of his fortune, moved to Belize and plunged into a decadent lifestyle of hallucinogenic drugs and hookers, and then took it on the lam after one of his neighbors was shot dead. Now the erstwhile multimillionaire playboy has been busted in Guatemala:

John McAfee, the Silicon Valley millionaire wanted for questioning in a Belizean homicide, was reportedly arrested in Guatemala on Wednesday for illegally entering the neighboring country.
Interior minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla told Reuters that Guatemalan police arrested the creator of McAfee antivirus software Wednesday night. McAfee’s neighbor was shot and killed in Belize earlier this month, and authorities there wish to question him in the death of Gregory Viant Faull.
McAfee has been evading police since the killing while writing a blog and communicating with media members.

He was writing a blog? And never linked me? Death penalty!

    To steal a joke I read elsewhere:

    Wonder if he’ll get a 30-day free trial.

    “…arrested in Guatemala on Wednesday for illegally entering the neighboring country.”

    Are they sure they don’t mean “undocumented transient suspect?”

    No, ever since they killed off most of the Marxists, Guatemala has been pretty blunt and to the point. Great coffee, too.
