This was recorded this spring before he was arrested for tax evasion. Be sure to watch what he says about taxes.

John McAfee is the world renowned software security pioneer who founded the software company McAfee Associates. His wealth peaked in 2007 at $100 million, before he took a beating during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. It seems he has learned more than a thing or two about diversifying his investments. He liquidated his assets and moved to Belize, where John surrounded himself with a harem of young women. Life in Belize was very controversial to say the least. After leaving McAfee Associates, he also founded companies like Tribal Voice, QuorumEx and Future Tense Central, amongst others.

His politcal leanings have been libertarian, he advocates the decriminalization of cannabis and bringing an end to the war on drugs. McAfee's also believes in non-interventionism in foreign policy, and a free market economy that does not redistribute wealth that also upholds free trade. On September 8, 2015, John announced that he would seek the office of President of the United States in the 2016 presidential election. McAfee consistently polled among the top three presidential candidates for his party with his rivals Gary Johnson and Austin Petersen. In the end he would lose out to both rivals and come in third place.

McAfee got involved with a mysterious tech company called MGT Technologies, which invested in games and cybersecurity, but was also in a small drugmaker. He would later leave and become a huge proponent of Bitcoin and he has made some of the most bullish claims to date. This includes stating that Bitcoin will hit $1,000,000 by 2020. And if not – he will eat his di** (you get the idea).

It hasn't been all smooth sailing McAfee has been sought by US tax authorities since January 2012. This was after he had announced that he had fled the country and was “living in exile” on a boat because of felony charges handed down by the Internal Revenue Service. “My crime is not filing tax returns – not a crime. The rest is propaganda by the U.S. government to silence me. My voice is the voice of dissent. If I am silenced, dissent itself will be next,” he wrote in a July 19 tweet.

“The CIA has attempted to collect us. We are at sea now and will report more soon. I will continue to be dark for the next few days,” he said in another tweet, which included a photograph of himself and a woman brandishing rifles. John McAfee is by all accounts a man on the run with his principles fixed on his own true north. This is a not to be missed interview with John McAfee the man who is seeking to become the Libertarian Party’s nomination for US President and Vice President in 2020 while on the run!
