    This had me checking, fortunately SBF is currently in jail and almost certainly headed for prison. Also want to drop a reminder that McAfee publicly announced shortly before his death that he had no intention of suicide and expected assassination attempts after his incarceration.

      But he was also completely insane.

      How wacky would it be for him to announce that, and then commit suicide just to mess with everyone.

        It would be on brand tbh

        I have an inkling that he faked his own death. Or they killed him.

        But him faking his own death would be 100% something he would do.

      McAfee was brilliant to stupor, saw through the plandemic gimmicks .the “Joker” character was modelled to imitate his speech patterns . He was wacked

        Bruh the joker has been around longer than McAfee. The first comic book with the joker was published 5 years before McAfee was born.

        So what exactly was the plan? In detail. Leave no stone unturned.

        • Who planned and financed it?

        • Where was it planned?

        • How was it covertly executed?

        • What were the main objectives?

        • How did the planners protect themselves from their devious plot?

    Side story here.

    I’ve been in one of McAfee’s houses after he died. A friend texted me one morning asking if I’d like to go to McAfee’s house. He had a friend that recently acquired a prior house of McAfee. Of course, I told him, and drove 2hours to get there.

    Decent sized house, probably 6k square feet. There was definitely money put into this place. In-ground pool, hot-tub, the works.

    It was just recently acquired. All the furniture in the house was original, left by McAfee! My friend and I were given permission to search the house as far as we wanted, without destroying anything of course. We searched high and low for flash drives, anything really. Searched the dirt “crawlspace” for a bit, you could stand up in there and it looked like someone had been digging around quite a bit.

    The only thing we found was a maybe 6x6inch hole cut out of the drywall behind a dresser, like someone knew were something was and took it out the wall.

    We played pool on a pool table that had dried splattered blood on it. Found tombstone still tied to a pallet out back that had something along the lines of “RIP BTC”, it also had a qr code, I think it linked to LTC, I can’t remember and the picture was lost due to me leaving my sd card in a phone and selling said phone…

    His room was weird, had a pull down like garage door that looked bullet proof and two big doors with wood 6in thick. Probably 50 cameras all over the property.

    Weird tid bit, shortly after the family moved in, they had an influx of people coming by and insisting they owned a piece of furniture that was in the house and they want it back. Some of the people insisted to come in and make sure the furniture isn’t there anymore. They were all declined.

    And that’s my story of the random text I got from a friend to party and search McAfee’s house.

        If there’s one thing consistent about John McAfee, its that he doesn’t like to wear a shirt.

        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.

    McAfee was the one good CEO.

    He lived as he preached, dangerously and with no regard for the shareholders.

    You mean Sam Bankman-Fried? The guy who fled to the Bahamas and then was arrested and extradited?

    source
    • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He didn’t flee to the Bahamas. FTX was based out of the Bahamas because it made for good tax dodging.

      Before he was accused of more serious crimes like fraud, he was regularly committing the much more common crimes that companies like Facebook and Google do all the time, pretending that their profits all happen to accrue in some company with friendly corporate tax laws.

    • stevehobbes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m not sure so much as fled as that’s where FTX was HQd and he owned a ton of shit there that he bought with customer money.

      He didn’t even have the balls to flee.

      What do you mean by “MacGyver stage prop rifle”? I get the impression you’ve never watched any of the versions of MacGyver.

      source
      • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        And you’d be right. I meant MacGyver as a stand-in adjective for improvised from whatever random things he found lying around.
