John McAfee Tells World How He Fooled Cops and Escaped Belize 243
It looks like the long and winding road of the John McAfee saga is going to continue for at least a little longer. McAfee posted a detailed blog post about how he was able to elude Belizean authorities and sneak out of the country. From the article: "'It's visually interesting and it is mostly a happy story — in line with most Christmas stories,' he wrote.
The former software executive describes an operation that was heavy in advance planning and trickery. He says he planted a lookalike ('my double — a man I have known for over 30 years and who years ago legally changed his name to John McAfee') and had him picked up by authorities in the northern Belize-Mexico border, while he and a group of friends and reporters loaded up a truck and headed in the opposite direction, to a southern town called Punta Gorda. With the news that he'd been arrested broadcasting on a local news station, McAfee figured that checkpoint security would relax."

That's the important question. And I got to say, the more I hear of his antics (dopplegangers changing their name to his?) and novelty drug habits, the less inclined I am to give him the benefit of doubt on this one.
It will soon be revealed that he killed Hans Reiser's wife.

Or rather, that he was hans Reiser wife who faked her own death in order to prevent reiserfs4 to be integrated upstream, paid as a ex russian secret agent by a unnamed super villain ( take your pick between Google, Microsoft, Apple or anything, we will explain for the next conspiracy that they are all the same company in the end )

I want to know who killed Kennedy. And a pony.
I doubt whoever killed Kennedy also killed a pony.

I would think the witnesses seeing him hose out the blood from his car
He was a long time sufferer of nose bleeds. Nothing remarkable about this at all.
or the fact that he somehow misplaced the passenger seat, would be pretty good clues.
Typical geek, always taking things apart and not always putting them back together. Maybe a bit absent minded too. Doesn't prove a thing.
But when he lead them to the body, that was a dead giveaway.
Clearly a latent psychic. Doesn't prove a thing.
