Multi-Millionaire Creator Of McAfee Anti-Virus Software On The Run For Murder

John McAfeeWhen one thinks of the name McAfee, more than likely, one of the most common virus protection options for computers comes to mind. But the software’s multimillionaire creator, John McAfee, 67, has allegedly pivoted from removal of malicious threats, to maliciously removing people.

According to Belize police, McAfee is on the run for the murder of American expatriate named Gregory Faull, 52, who was gunned down at his home after the two engaged in a volatile argument.

TMZ reports:[1]

McAfee — whose software company sold to Intel in 2010 for $7 billion — has been living in Belize for a while now.

Details around the alleged argument between McAfee and Faull are unclear, but police claim Faull had filed a formal complaint about McAfee with the local mayor’s office recently, claiming McAfee had been firing off guns and exhibiting “roguish behavior.”

Gizmodo has published a statement from the San Pedro police, which says Faull was found lying face up “in a pool of blood.” Police have not est

History Again

Now that the dust has settled, the euphoria or shock cooled, one thing stands out about the re-election of President Barack Obama.  History was made once again.  Yes, it was the first time a Black man was re-elected to a second term in office, it was the first time that a sitting president was re-elected when economy growth was sluggish and unemployment numbers high, but it was also the first time when a coalition of minorities cast the deciding vote.

 

According to one analysis in Time Magazine, ‘The Nov. 6 election signaled a demographic tippling point: A record number of Latino and Asian voters, the country’s fastest-growing voting bloc, formed a coalition with Black and white Democratic voters to re-elect the country’s first African-American President.  A new American majority – a multiethnic majority – has not only arrived but is infact reordering the political landscape.’

According to agent Warren LeGarie, D’Antoni signed a 3-year, $12 million dollar deal.

LA Times reports:[2]

The former Suns[5] coach still has strong bond with his former player and new Laker, Steve Nash[6].

“Obviously I think everyone knows how much I love Mike,” said Nash last week. “If [D'Antoni] were to coach, it would be seamless and terrific for me, and I think the team as well.”
