You kind of have to wonder what went so terribly wrong in childhood that led to this behavior. McAfee is clearly a brilliant but very disturbed person. What a sad waste of that talent and intellect.

McAfee's problems are due to his insane drug experimentation. That he is alive is something of a miracle. Read and despair: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/8utitu/john_mcafee_this_might_be_the_craziest_bath_salt/ https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/8utitu/john_mcafe...

  Sort of a catch-22 isn't it? Maybe those experimental drugs could make a man crazy, but he'd have to be crazy already to take those drugs in the first place.

    It's also pretty clear that his problems caused him to leave the US, so his crazy drug experiments could not be the source of his initial problems, though they seem very related to his current problems.

  That was a wild read, wow. I get the feeling that even apart from the drug stuff McAfee is brilliant but lacking any moral restraint or respect for societal order. I mean apart from the drug stuff all he made millions shilling junk ICOs in 2017 and brazenly declared he wasn’t filing taxes.

  Part of it are interesting in a genuine sense of the term, but the eccentric, drug abusing insanity is not. If he didn't have a lot of cash to burn from his business days he'd just be a crazy guy on a train screaming at people.

    No, he'd be a crazy guy on a train screaming about bath salts at people. Important distinction.

He seems to be enjoying his life, from what few videos and articles of his I've read.
