McAfee's Murder Mystery

SBS presents the final years of Silicon Valley multi-millionaire turned international playboy

McAfee's Murder Mystery Silicon Valley multi-millionaire turned international playboy, John McAfee caught the world's attention at the centre of a sensational murder mystery. He's been on the run, but now says he's willing to talk.
"Did I murder my neighbour in Belize? Was I manufacturing illegal drugs in Central America? Was I having sex with underage girls and was I using bath salts? I can answer a resounding no to all three of those questions." It's a quote from one of John McAfee's videos that have become internet sensations, reflecting his showmanship, attention-seeking and difficulty to pin down. The day after the infamous murder McAfee fled to Guatemala, saying he feared being framed over the shooting of his neighbour Greg Faull. "I'm not charged with anything. There is not a shred of evidence", the notorious prankster insists. "I spoke less than 50 words to this man." So was it generosity or self-interest that motivated McAfee to donate masses of equipment to the Belizian police? McAfee claims his troubles began when he refused to pay a senior politician a large bribe, hinting at being set up. As the mysterious case drags on, the sad fact is that Greg Faull's family are unlikely to see justice. Greg's father reads the response from the US government to his appeal for help: "Belize has a poor record of properly investigating unsolved cases and these are rarely brought to a successful conclusion".
