John McAfee - the gift that keeps on giving.

If you have not had the privilege of following the insanely "real" story of virus software founder John McAfee, you are missing out my friends. This story has everything a great Carl Haissen novel has, but it a TRUE STORY. It has these several components that make it a tale of true human imperfection, faultiness and yes, mostly tragedy.

Like a true story of Backwards Cinderella, McAfee (after selling his company) chose the road of the eccentric, overly wealthy, hugely uninformed, drug use prone, high risk taking billionaire lifestyle and now, sadly, may end up arrested for an acquiantance's murder and may be having a heart attack. All this after being on the run for weeks now, protesting his guilt in the murder but also having weird impromptu interviews with ABC, CNN and other news sources that any defense lawyer would cringe at. Like any good ego maniac, he's all about himself, posting pics of his supposed bevy of young beauties on his blogs, painting himself a self styled Jimmy Buffet (but with more coke) and partying with drug dealers while wearing parrot shirts and leather flip flops, tanned and white toothed.

Let us take a moment for this latest McAfee Moment, and as he started off being heralded by some media as  some sort of misunderstood hero, now has continued his fall into the "yesterday's news" abyss, created by his own drug fueled insanity, his ego, and his lack of understanding of what big money can do to one so determined to be a Character, not a real person. Who knows, he probably had great intentions at one time, he seems smart enough, and money is not the culprit here - it's the not knowing what to do with it, and who to surround yourself with.

Waiting for the next McAfee appearance, hopefully it won't be a RIP but rather a "he's innocent of  murder, he's giving up his exotic compound and heading back home to Kansas so open an urban chicken farming business". That would be an ending as great as any Haissen novel.
