#292Sad that the punishment is so extreme and state of US prisons is so bad that people rather kill them selves than face their charges.

#294Any international criminal law expert here? Why can the US arrest everybody in Europe but the colony of fraudsters living in St.Kitts&Nevis (among them Paul Bilzerian) is untouchable?
Admittedly I haven't looked into this at all, but the likely answer is extradition treaties.

#295From McAffee in 2019, "Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm. " https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/120086428376625152...
I have found that "I'll never kill myself. There's always something to live for" is something that is very easy for people who are safe and happy to say, and I pray that these people will always be safe and comfortable enough to not change their mind on this for their own sakes. When you're sitting in a tiny concrete box and looking at the very distinct possibility of spending the rest of your life in such a box, eit…
add to that: going through drug withdrawal while trapped in said box

#296What a strange life he lived. I'm not going to make a value judgement about whether or not he was a 'good' person, but I do applaud the fact that he dared to deviate from the norm. "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." -- Hunter S Thompson RIP
He’s a murderer and fraudster. You do not in fact have to applaud him for anything.
and allegedly a rapist

#297I met John in an Atlanta airport lounge years ago[1]. I recognized him immediately as I've always admired him, and I decided to go up to him and tell him as much. He invited me to sit down, and told him about when I was a teenager in the 90s learning about tech entrepreneurs at the time, I always thought he was pretty cool and had good ideas. I told him I respected him, and that I was sure he'd lived an incredible li…
When you say he was "sloshed" do you mean he was drunk? Or do you mean he was very pleased with your praise?

#298Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, he very likely killed his neighbor in 2012... so I feel like "colorful" undermines how much of a monster he's been for over a decade.
You're saying "likely" as a hedge, when in fact you are instead merely expressing an opinion, without any knowledge of the actual numerical likelihood of such an event having happened.
Knowing the "actual" numerical likelihood is not necessary to deem something "likely" or not.
I will likely take a shit tomorrow, but cannot say so with certainty and lack the "actual numerical likelihood."
MacAfee fled the country after his neighbor was shot, and was wanted by police for questioning. Let's not get cute with metaphysical discussions about hedging bets and "actual numerical likehoods" lol.

McAfee is an interesting person but I believe absolutely nothing that he says.

#300I feel like a lot of people in this thread are forgetting he likely killed his neighbor in 2012 and has been on the run since. I mean, sure he built some antivirus software a few decades ago, but I don't think he deserves the eulogies he's getting here. He's not tech's Hunter S. Thompson; he's a murderer who spent the last years of his life screwing over people with crypto scams.
I am hoping it's a case of people just being ignorant of his life after exiting the software world. The guy left a pretty horrible path of destruction. Hope his victims have some small amount of closure from this, because they won't be getting it from the legal system anymore.
