Very interesting read about this guy's extremely eventful life, and particulary about his stay in Belize and arrest for the murder of one of his neighbours. Includes copious amount of drug taking, the formation of a private militia, underage third world hookers and cutting edge pharmaceutical R&D:

WTF is that?

I'd followed McAfee's escapades down in Belize, and his escape from Belize.  It's mildly disappointing he hasn't been arrested at this point.

I think that's a very good description.   :lol:

Great read and video.

What did he do that deserves arrest?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

He was arrested, kept in jail and released without charges one day later.

That guy is James Bond villain material, a real life Hank Scorpio.  :ph34r:
