Right, and his running mate will be Hans Reiser? Seriously, last I heard, the guy is pretty clearly a murderer. Or lunatic. Or both. http://memeburn.com/2013/01/john-mccafee-anti-virus-pioneer-... etc. etc.

AFAIK he was never really under suspicion. But being possibly paranoid he thought he was, and he didn't trust Belize justice system (and is possibly right about that).

Of course he was a suspect. He'd had an escalating battle with his neighbor, who coincidentally turned up shot to death. http://gizmodo.com/5959812/john-mcafee-wanted-for-murder

He was only ever a "person of interest", if they had anything material against him he'd have been officially suspect likely.

And there are various citations of unnamed Belize officials, stating that he's no longer even a person of interest in that case.

...should I feel guilty for fantasizing an apocalyptic WW3 scenario with the USA lead by MacAfee and Russia led by Putin? the world would turn to ashes, but boy it would be fun to watch :)

An actual quote reported by an actual journalist who was actually there at the time and actually heard from the lips of "Marco Vidal, the head of Belize’s Gang Suppression Unit": McAfee is a “prime suspect” in Faull’s death.

And in 2015 "not a person of interest anymore".

If they had anything tangible, why wasn't he charged?
