Guatemala Judge Orders McAfee Released

An anonymous reader points out an AP report which says a judge in Guatemala has ordered the release of John McAfee from a detention center. "Lawyer Telesforo Guerra said the judge notified him verbally of the ruling, but added that it may take a day for formal written notification to win McAfee's release, possibly as soon as Wednesday." McAfee, on the run from Belizean police, was arrested in Guatemala several days ago after making himself known to authorities. He did so because a pair of reporters who were interviewing him posted a photo which included metadata on the photo's location. In a live broadcast on Sunday, McAfee expressed a desire to return to the U.S. "I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years. My long-term plan was simply to get away from Belize, think, and decide what to do."

Has he made any progress in finding the "real killer"? I'm sure that's much more important to him than his own freedom.

I know more math than Archimedes ever did. That fucking hack probably couldn't even solve a differential equation! He didn't know shit. Modern mathematicians can do a million times what he could, he was got in on the game first.

Technically brilliant and socially incompetent. I'm surprised he doesn't have a slashdot account. ;)
