“James Bond meets Scarface with a little Indiana Jones.”
That’s how John McAfee, the notorious tech mogul who lived a strange life shrouded in power, mystery, violence and international espionage, describes himself in the new Netflix documentary “Running With the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee,” out Wednesday.
In 2012, he was living on a beach in San Pedro, Belize, when a neighbor, Gregory Faull, suddenly died. “His side of the story is that they’re after him because he didn’t pay off the government. They wanted to hurt him, to get rid of him,” McAfee’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Herrera says in the documentary. She also notes that through his surveillance, he had allegedly found hard evidence linking Belize’s government to corruption.
“I have documentation that proves the intense corruption at all levels of the Belizean government,” McAfee told reporters prior to getting jailed. Days later, he had a heart attack, which forced his transfer from jail to a hospital. “John confided in him that he had shot his father when he was a teenager. He killed him and made it look like it was a suicide,” Foster says. “This is a dangerous man. He’s hurt a lot of people.”
I have not filed a tax return for 8 years. Why? 1: taxation is illegal. 2: I paid tens of millions already and received Jack Shit in services. 3. I'm done making money. I live off of cash from McAfee Inc. My net income is negative. But i am a prime target for the IRS. Here I am.“He got rid of everything, moved all assets. Cars, house, he sold,” Vice cameraman Michael King, whom McAfee invited to cover his 2019 flight, says in the documentary.
