John McAfee, creator of the McAfee
Antivirus we have all probably heard of (and learned
to trust) has dipped in popularity recently in that it seems he is
determined to find trouble wherever he goes.
In the beginning, McAfee fled the U.S
in order to evade the taxes he would incur by staying. Belize is
popularly known for being a “tax haven” and is generally heavily
favored by those with large sums of money. Unfortunately for McAfee,
he is now quite “shunned” by their local government for being
resistant to helping out a local political party.
Obviously, the greed shines through; he
is continuously trying to get away from spending his fortune, even
for a good cause. What kinds of influences can this possibly have on
his McAfee
antivirus? Was he withholding when it came to the
important aspects of his product? Who knows?
Another one of the primary reasons why
McAfee fled to Belize was to set up a firm in which he would create
both antibiotics and women’s Viagra from natural jungle plants.
Many have a hard time taking him seriously with these spontaneous
fruitless endeavors. He claims he wants to improve the health and
wellness of the Belizean people by creating a natural antibiotic for
them that is created and sewed straight from their own jungle plants.
This is all great and noble, but unfortunately it seems McAfee’s
fortune has dropped by nearly 100 million dollars in the time it took
for him to go from the U.S. to Belize.
McAfee also fled in order to protect
his own wealth by means of taxes, but also by avoiding the shrink in
riches due to the many lawsuits that were filed or being filed
against him in the U.S. He was sure that fleeing to Belize would
protect him and his fortune from sure disaster. Unfortunately, it
didn’t take long for McAfee to lose almost his entire fortune.
Unfortunately for McAfee, fleeing the
country didn’t prove productive at all for the reasons he
originally fled. Of course, he landed himself a 17 year old Belizean
lady friend who graciously moved in with him and he learned some
interesting ways to use bath salts. But alas, he also lost nearly all
of his fortune (by his standards) and he is now attempting to flee
from a government which he deems “corrupt” and believes is trying
to kill him.
McAfee has plummeted so low that many
are actually beginning to pity him. But, it seems unwise to do
so. He landed himself in this mess and who knows whether he has been
taking proper care of us who use his McAfee
Antivirus. When it comes down to it, it is
hard to believe McAfee was doing right by the public through his
McAfee Antivirus. Simply put, should we pity a man who may have such
a lack in regard for people who trust him?
