As a society, we are hard to forgive
the many distinguished drug users who present themselves to us in the
media every day. The question is why do so many seem to be so quick
to forgive a man who ties his name to something that is as important
as McAfee
computer antivirus? Large companies use these
programs to protect serious and valuable content in their systems and
the average user could also be seriously affected by any lack in
attention to detail.
John McAfee produced a powerful form of
computer antivirus that became so huge that he, himself soon found
his personal worth to be valued at over 100 million dollars.
Unfortunately, McAfee took part in too many scandalous activities
with his money that eventually resulted in a huge negative response
from McAfee
anti-virus fans; not to mention, he wasted such a
large amount of it that he now has less than 4 million dollars!
Dipping into drugs and negative
behaviors in the ways John McAfee has elected to do so is definitely
something to be frowned upon by his acquaintances, the public, and
especially the brand he ties his name to. Suspected to be somebody
who associates with Belize gangs, McAfee’s home was raided and
searched by the local gang control forces where he was found
harboring various weapons, as well as what was assumed to be
narcotics, in his small beach-front cottage in Belize.
McAfee waited and watched while they
searched his home from a hole on the beach he had dug to bury himself
in with a cardboard box over his head. He had been to the local jail,
where he was forced to live in a small cell with a bunch of other
people and use a crate for a latrine. To say the very least, he was
not eager to go back.
McAfee has slowly intertwined himself
with all the things which damage a person’s persona and ruin their
career, along with their life. Drugs, sex, and gangs seem to be the
popular wrong-doings of those who have a bit of change to spend, and
McAfee is no exception. He has not stepped in a single positive
direction once since he moved to Belize to “help improve the
country by creating antibiotics from all natural jungle plants.”
Not only was McAfee arrested for being
in the possession of drugs, it was suspected that he was also
operating a meth lab in his home in Belize. He claimed that the
equipment that was found at the residence was simply a way to conduct
his experiments regarding the making antibiotics from plants of the
land and that it had absolutely nothing to do with methamphetamine,
which is what they accused him of being affiliated with.
Getting himself so wound up in such
negative ways could have a heavily adverse effect on the quality and
trust in the brand which holds his name. By irresponsibly dumping
endless amounts of money into whatever he pleases instead of building
newer and better antivirus that could compete with the smarter
threats of today, he is ultimately ruining his company and his sought
after and trusted antivirus. As a consumer, one must assume that the
poor decisions made by McAfee recently have been a life-time and
habitual habit. And ultimately, the trust that McAfee
Antivirus Software once had must now be questioned.
