I've spent a few hours reading the NYT article, various news articles, and his blog. He does seem to be a pathological liar, and usually just spins it by commenting about how he's a prankster - at a certain point, you can only get away with the "prankster" claim before you start to lose credibility. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/business/john-mcafee-plays-hide-and-seek-in-belize.html?pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/business/john-mcafee-plays... seems to be one of the more balanced write ups, and gives McAfee a lot of the benefit of the doubt, but his neighbor, Allnatt, gives a pretty damning indictment of McAfee's behavior - for seeming no reason other than to clear the record.
