{mosads}John McAfee made his mark on cybersecurity when he created the first commercial antivirus program. But he is equally well known for the erratic life he’s led since selling the company.

In 2012, McAfee acknowledged he had faked a heart attack while in detention in Guatemala to prevent extradition to Belize, where he was under investigation for murder.

A Showtime Network documentary about McAfee’s time in Belize alleged a variety of potentially severe criminal actions while McAfee was a resident there, which McAfee denies. 

McAfee was runner-up for the libertarian candidacy for president in 2016. He currently heads the venture firm MGT Investments.
