Wait, THIS John McAfee?

[NSFW, Rated "R"] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRvaQsGIY8

He did an AMA recently https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/3hr9f0/i_am_john_mc... and an interview with Uses This a while back https://usesthis.com/interviews/john.mcafee/

Edit: To clarify, the Uses This interview was done while he was being threatened in Belize. That's why it's all paranoid.

I'm a big fan of his Slashdot AMA, which he mostly spends informing you about the best ways to bribe policemen and smuggle drugs while you're in Central America.

Ha. From the end of that AMA:

> I would never run for office, neither would I want to be in office, of any kind. I would rather drive a nail through my foot.

It's a slightly satirical video.

Maybe he was genuinely fed up with the MacAfee antivirus, people associating him with it, so he made the video so Intel would not want to share the name of their product with him.

That's a pretty smart move. Sex, drug, weapons... A bunch of things a respectable company wouldn't want to be associated to.
