Comment on Tech CEOs Fleeing to Non-Extradition Countries

  He was definitely odd, but even a broken clock is right twice a day; He hated what his old company has become, and at least owned up to the fact that he had a lady shit on his chest. When asked about it in interviews, he basically said something along the lines of “when you’re richer than God and have had sex with gorgeous women every day, things start to get stale and you look for more and more extreme things to get you going.”

  He also 100% predicted that he was going to be Epstein’ed in a prison cell. He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job. He specifically tweeted something along the lines of “if I’m ever found to have hanged myself, it wasn’t a suicide. It was a whack job.” He was found dead in a prison cell, with the death ruled a suicide by hanging. Which is either prophetic (he believed the US had a bounty on him, so he was very paranoid about getting murdered with the government covering it up,) or the best troll ever.

    I think it really was just an epic troll. The man had run out his cash reserves, was at an age where he must’ve started feeling old. Spent decades experimenting wildly with drugs. He was by every outward metric a broken person. And also a person that valued his freedom to do whatever above everything else. Prison, forced clean and facing the very real possibility of never tasting freedom again. I just can’t imagine that he wouldn’t snap, which is a failure of the state to not keep him safe while in their ward. He was also extremely action oriented, he wasn’t the type to contemplate suicide, it’s either do it or don’t.

      Getting sober for the first time in decades, without proper medical support, is enough to become suicidal for sure. Hell, even with proper support, the psychological adjustment can be overwhelming.

        And we’re not talking sober of mild drugs either. I fully believe this man did pretty much all drugs at least once.

    The dude was also just fucking insane from 50 years of drug use lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if committed suicide to troll the world or for his own crazy meth head paranoia reasons, but he was probably just crashing hard.

      If your conspiracy depends on John McAfee not telling people things you’ve already failed

    He also 100% predicted that he was going to be [killed]

    And if you can’t trust him, who can you trust?
