- eganist 5y agoTechnically still a free man. No convictions against him as related to the extradition request.
- msbarnett 5y ago> He was a free man until the end. He literally died in jail.
- mc32 5y agoJail is detention before trial, not imprisonment in a penitentiary.
- DJBunnies 5y agoIt is still being held captive against ones will.
- pm90 5y agoEither way it’s questionable if he was “free”.
- ornornor 5y agoIsn’t the end result the same: you can’t go anywhere? I wouldn’t call that free.
- msbarnett 5y agoI wouldn't describe being held in custody pending extradition as "being free". YMMV.
- mc32 5y agoYes and no. It's not like I'd expect him to carry a cyanide pill and just as he's about to be arrested swallows it to be technically correct. I think this qualifies "dying free" in spirit since his death means objection to remaining in custody.
- moate 5y agoJust to be clear: We're saying it's admirable to kill yourself rather than face the consequences of your illegal behavior? That's what we're respecting in this thread? The man was believed to have committed a litany of offenses including attacking other humans but "he was so respectable because he never let them convict him"? "Bad rich guy kills himself in pathetic attempt to avoid justice" would be my preferred headline personally.
- luhego 5y agoHe lived his life the way he wanted and he even decided how to die.
- casi18 5y agoits interesting to read reflections of people locked up. very often they talk of how we are all in our own forms of jail. freedom is a state of mind.
- anonytrary 5y agoHold on. I talk like this and I'm a free man with a good job, good friends, and a good life. Sure, it becomes even more apparent when you are in a cage. But it's true, everyone really is in a cage of their own making. Even worse, being in a cage of someone else's making.
- res0nat0r 5y agoEveryone seems to forget that he likely had his neighbor tortured and killed: https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/20/mcafee_25m_lawsuit_neighbor_death/ https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/20/mcafee_25m_lawsuit_ne...
- morelisp 5y agoHe also raped a business partner.
- haakon 5y agoHe's so frequently called "colorful" and "successful". In fact, he was a nutjob who most likely did unspeakable things when he wasn't busy doing just terrible things.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoCharisma is a helluva drug.
- Scoundreller 5y agoso is MDPV.
