John McAfee arrested in Guatemala

Police in Belize went to question McAfee shortly after they found his neighbor, Gregory Faull, dead from a gunshot wound to the head. They didn't find him initially because he'd had buried himself under the sand in his backyard, using a piece of cardboard to help him breath. Um, what? The story just got more interesting from there. McAfee fled Belize, but not before donning various disguises and taking his 20-year-old girlfriend (he is 67) with him. While on the run McAfee crouched in closets while maintaining a blog which updated followers on his situation and attacked the police. After weeks on the lam, McAfee was accidentally exposed by Vice Magazine's editor-in-chief Rocco Castoro. You'd think the kind of anti-virus software could've protected his "secret" location a little better. Castoro, who was in Guatemala filming McAfee for a documentary, posted a photo to vice.com without clearing the GPS data first. Bada bing, bada boom, and McAfee is found. Guatemalan authorities detained McAfee for entering the country illegally he now faces deportation.
