Gez Posted June 24, 2021 A terrible human, but a great character for a novel or movie. Suicide in prison is a fitting end to his arc. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Final Verdict Posted June 24, 2021 On 6/24/2021 at 8:14 AM, roadworx said: he was awful Expand Can't say I disagree with that last part. I only read about his ridiculous antics years ago, but being accused of murder doesn't sit well with me either. I would need to look up the other stuff though as I had no idea about half of the shady stuff he seemed to be into. I remember all the whacky stuff and something about a gun, but that's about it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

In the end, he was running away from US Law and in the end he took the last Escape he had. Compared to Companies that avoid paying Taxes he is a "small" Fish, but it is a big Problem all over the World since it is Betrayal on Society. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
ebrl Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Making a huge scene about how he wasn't going to kill himself when the plan in case of facing spending the rest of his life in jail was to kill himself all along, just to stir shit up one last time, would be a very John McAfee thing to do.

Expand Yeah, everyone crying he was Epstein'd is just reacting to the same hivemind meme idea. Like, who wanted him dead exactly? All the Spanish politicians who were secretly flying to enjoy his resort at Whalefuck Island? Americans only just got the extradiction ruling, killing him is Spain is some 420D chess, moonlanding-was-faked scheme, cause they could've easily murk him in Epstein's cell just a week later or so, without having to dispatch Agent 47 to Barcelona. So who was it? Intel, cause McAfee kept shitting on their product with his name on it? Oh, I know, now it all makes sense. It was Xhamster. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post

NoXion Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) McAfee didn't hobnob with a whole bunch of rich and powerful people, and he didn't keep a little black book. He was also more than a little bit batshit. He had a legal cloud over his head for years before his death. Now I'm not a spook, but that kind of person doesn't seem like a good intelligence asset to me.

Expand exactly; he'd a liability to the rich, not an asset. in fact, he himself even stated that all his friends distanced themselves from him out of fear of association. he's absolutely not the person who you'd ever, EVER tell secretive information to, especially not information that could get you put away in prison 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Expand It's because you have presented no convincing evidence to support your hypothesis. There is no known good reason for anyone to off mcaffee as others have pointed out. Your inability to accept this because it doesn't fit your predetermined narrative is no one's problem but your own. This is typical conspiracy theorist behaviour, twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts. Incidentally, it is entirely psychologically consistent for someone like Epstein who is used to controlling everything to kill themselves when they realise the game is up. It has happened with far less significant figures than him. Now i do believe it's possible and indeed probable he was killed. So your statement about it being strange people with no history of suicidal behaviour killing themselves is again incorrect. It's not the same situation as a depressed person doing it.

dew Posted June 24, 2021 Here's a more relevant parallel than Epstein's case: Julian Assange's lawyers successfully argued to a British court that he shouldn't be extradited to USA, because he'd commit suicide rather than getting a life sentence in a highly political process. Yet if that did happen, there's no doubt in my mind that every conspiracy theorist would be hyperventilating from uncovering all the obvious CIA connections. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
RDETalus Posted June 25, 2021 I doubt McAfee was involved in any big things, but no reason to shit on conspiracy theorists. Some of these are theories, until they it turns out they aren’t. The whole Epstein thing was originally a big silly theory as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Generally the way to make a conspiracy theory more believable is to have something....anything...underpinning it other than someones own untrustworthy words, things that can be explained away as deception, and weaksauce equivocation with Epstein. People are allowed to judge this thing on their own merits, and comment on others conclusions if they say it in a public forum. Edited June 25, 2021 by AlexMax 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
