I'd enjoy to know how do you know such things.

That is correct, please ever cite sources !

A person has died.
We will probably never know the exact circumstances and reasons.
It also does not belong in this forum.

He was wanted in Belize for suspicion of murder, see his wikipedia page

Why does discussion about a famous programmer not belong on a programming forum? Because he died? Can we then no longer talk about Alan Turing?

Why do you care, he's dead !
Let the dead have their peace.

@Psychophanta you can read court cases and archived news if you are interested in McAfees life.
Also, i only stated my conclusion on what he is but i nowhere stated if i view what he has done negatively.
So if you want to know that you can ask me and i might answer or not.

The reason he (i assume u mean McAfee here) died is pretty clear if you watch/read his last interviews.

Hmm, I don't think he had the importance and especially the dangerous knowledge of Epstein.

Thats illogical, you cant disturbe a dead person.
Talking about the dead and remembering them is useful for a society.
As bad or good example - its another incentive to not to do stupid shit while walking this ball of dust.

So it's ok to talk about Epstein (not a programmer), but not John McAffee (famous programmer)?

I'm not talking about Epstein either.
May their souls find peace.

Suspicion <> guilty.

That's just an excuse to use our lovely basic comparitors It would have been the ugly != in another forum/universe :DD

What it seems to be sure is, that he has been murder of himself. We can insure it, for that, he is guilty.

Olli, just because someone suicides doesn't mean they're guilty. It can mean they don't want to spend their lives in jail with a cellmate named Butch McDick.
