John McAfee offers reward to anyone who helps capture 'real' murderer of Gregory Faull

John McAfee, anti-virus software pioneer and potential bath salts junkie, has written this week on his blog that he is offering $25,000 to anyone who helps capture the murderer of expat Gregory Faull.
Faull was murdered last week near his home in Belize and the story was broken that McAfee was the lead suspect in the case.

Since then, McAfee has been in hiding but also blogging about his adventure, including how he dresses in disguises daily. One such disguise is a Guatemalan street vendor with a limp. He has said the charges against him are a vendetta for his refusal to donate money to Belize's ruling United Democratic Party.

For now, McAfee says he wants to find justice for Faull's murder and is willing to do so monetarily.



The developer told interviewers two years ago that his once $100 million fortune had dwindled to $4 million due to the financial crisis in 2008.

i just googled john mcafee and it seems hes paranoid and slightly crazy.No one actually knows if he did it or not.the weird thing with paranoid people is there is usualy logical reasons why they are paranoid.

the antivirus software he made was not the best.

...And guns, and hookers...I hope his personal anti-virus routine is better than his software.
