- Vadoff 5y agoJohn Wick agrees
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoThis makes me wonder if he was a source of inspiration for the movies...
- Razengan 5y agoSounds like someone else with the same first name and motive.
- oh_sigh 5y agoActually, John killed his own dogs after he believed they were poisoned by his neighbor. Were they really poisoned, or was that just one of his psychotic delusions(like his claim that Belizean officials were out to kill him but killed Faull by mistake)? We'll never know. But we do know that his dogs were allowed to run free in a giant pack and attacked at least 6 people (probably more, but they may be locals and not ex-pats/tourists whose claims are more likely to be reported on)
- cwkoss 5y agoHe claimed that he gifted laptops to the Belizean government pre-loaded with spyware and alleged to have found evidence that multiple top officials were engaged in drug and human trafficking. If true, would certainly be a motive for those officials.
- oh_sigh 5y agoWeird he never provided any proof of his claims about that. You would think that if he was invested enough to put his own life in risk(according to him) to find out the extent of corruption among officials in Belize, that he would, perhaps, release the information in some manner instead of just pretending like it never existed. And what was the thinking of the officials who allegedly received the laptops? "Oh no, the man who gave us free laptops has been reading everything we've done on these laptops. Let's plan his murder on these laptops now. Don't worry about finding his address, it's just some home north of San Pedro right? Just go kill a guy and it must be John"
- swader999 5y agoHe mentioned in his tweets a lot will be released upon his death. We'll see I guess.
- oh_sigh 5y agoTo anyone reading this: I will bet literally any amount of money that is available to me, with 10:1 odds, that no information will come out.
- imwillofficial 5y agoDidn’t McAfee bet to eat His own penis for some reason?
- tptacek 5y agoAnd lost, and refused to honor the bet.
- juliusmusseau 5y agoCause of death could be related to him finally honouring this bet and being too weak from pain and loss-of-blood to upload the final video.

- newobj 5y agoYou waiting for any Q drops too?

- FullyFunctional 5y agoThis is how conspiracies are created. There's no evidence and strong motive for him to create this conspiracy. I'm a big fan of Occam's razor and in this case the simplest explanation, in light of _evidence_ of which there was plenty in the documentary, is that he was not truthful.
- cwkoss 5y agoTo be a bit pedantic, testimony is evidence. But I agree he was not very credible.
- FireBeyond 5y ago> He claimed that he gifted laptops to the Belizean government pre-loaded with spyware and alleged to have found evidence that multiple top officials were engaged in drug and human trafficking. So he was looking to take out his competitors? Because he boasted of having sold 25KG of psychotropics in the previous year, so let's not mistake him for some vigilante.
- cwkoss 5y agoDo you have a source for that? I don't doubt you, but I'd like to read the story.

- cwkoss 5y agoWow, that reddit thread is really something. Thanks
- hellbannedguy 5y ago"Actually, John killed his own dogs after he believed they were poisoned by his neighbor." I've never heard he killed his dogs. I did hear he thought the next door neighbor poisoned his dogs.
- oh_sigh 5y agoHe shot his dogs and buried them on his property (allegedly, because he thought they were poisoned). The last I heard of the dogs, the police had taken their corpses to see if they were shot with the same gun that murdered Faull. But odds seem low since it was known that John had a ton of guns and armed guards in Belize.
