From memory, his nephew had passed in a similar way to the person in the flight. It may be the same case. I don't think he was running away from paying a settlement, I think he was running away from the guilt he felt that he had facilitated his own nephew's death. It was immediately after that that his downhill spiral began.
Wired suggesting it was a financial move is just lowbrow journalism.

(You're roughly correct about the circumstances - his nephew was illegally piloting and crashed a plane killing himself and the passenger in McAfee's low-altitude flight program.)
