Discover the conflicting evidence, conspiracy theories, and unanswered questions surrounding whether his death was suicide or something more sinister.

The Man Who Built the Beast

From coke-dealing college kid to accidental antivirus billionaire, John McAfee's chaotic rise began in trauma and ended up changing computing forever.

Ep 2:

The Prophet Who Played the Fool

Behind McAfee's wild public persona lurked a sleepless paranoid convinced he was hunted, even as his crypto tweets moved millions and made him powerful enemies.

the caretaker got paid 10k by Showtime then retracted everything on McAfee's own YouTube channel... both sides throwing money around and we're supposed to pick who to believe 💀

The civil court finding McAfee liable for Fahl's murder proves nothing. Civil courts use a preponderance of evidence standard, not beyond reasonable doubt. A 25M judgment from a Florida court over a Belize murder with zero physical evidence is not proof of anything.

So McAfee's caretaker took $10k from Showtime to say he hired a hitman... then took MORE money to say he lied. Both sides paid him lol
