I'd say. The story just seems incomplete and incoherent to me. Someone has to be telling the truth and someone has to be lying, but who? How can one take what's been said and figure out heads or tails with it all?

Not exactly breaking news - but more info -

He was at home the whole time? It gets even more confusing....

I think he really is barking mad!?! The drugs must have rotted his brain.

You know there's a hollywood scriptwriter writing this all down and we'll see Matt Damon playing the lead role in 12 months time

I think he is using the media to broadcast his veiled threats but mostly to have it on record in a way to try to protect himself.. he seems to be half saying things which makes the gaps that are leaving people questioning him which goes to suggest he has things to hide, but the best quote has to be from one of his neighbors saying, "He is a complete media *****, I bet he is loving it"

Come to think of it, he can't be one all that much. I haven't heard much of anything about him in the last while until this. but then again, its from this side, no telling what's going on in newspapers around the world.

I have never heard of the guy before, but obviously I have heard of the AV. I am curious what a multi millionaire like him is doing in a place in Belize? Of all the places in the world how did he end up there. He is apparently British by birth or something like that.

I think one of the reports I read stated that he moved to Belize for tax purposes? Maybe tax in Belize is lighter than anywhere he'd lived before. I mean he even had a house in Mexico at some point, not sure if he sold it.

Feel like a little light reading? Here is the blog that he started called "The hinterland", where he's been documenting his experience while on the run.

The bad news though, is that he was caught by the Guatemalan police for illegally entering the Guatemala. Its all here at mashable.

Could be an interesting read.

Well it's made it to the mainstream news now:
BBC News - Fugitive John McAfee arrested in Guatemala

I love his website, so he is blogging from Jail
I am in jail in Guatemala. Vastly superior to Belize jails. I asked for a computer and one magically appeared.

My favourite line from the BBC report:
The 67-year old revealed that in order to go unnoticed, he changed his appearance by dying his hair and beard, sticking chewed bubble gum to his upper gums to fatten his face and staining his teeth.

Barking mad... can't wait for the DVD to come out
