    I don't know about the other guys, but it is well known that Elon Musk only took a $1 annual income from Tesla for many years. Obviously no income tax due on that. No need to employ any fancy accountant either to tell you that ;)

    Are you perhaps confusing him with Steve Jobs?

    You'd never even think of killing yourself if you lived that fun lifestyle.

    With the mega high's come the extreme low's inevitably I imagine.

    Who would play him in his biopic? Tom Hardy? Edward Norton?

    I heard the other day that Adolf Hitler never paid any income tax, not the greatest of his crimes in fairness, but still...

    I did not renew my McAfee subscription for my computer, and guess what, no bad things happened. Will carry on using Windows Defender.

    Good read on life and times of McAfee

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    He was actually fined 405,494 Reichmarks for failing to declare his income or file tax returns in 1934. He didnt like this, so had his henchmen declare himself tax exempt. That was handy.

    He’s not dead, he’s still running in the background.

    He was certainly an interesting character, you couldn't make his life up. Although the more sinister allegations are not something I wish to glorify.

    Knowing the kind of character he was, at 75 and facing extradition I wouldn't put it past him to tell people he's not suicidal and then kill himself. Just for the craic.

    He could be trolling alright. His last hurrah. Decide that if he’s ever going to be extradited he will kill himself but claim beforehand he never would.

    In this case, unlike Epstein, I don’t see why he would be taken out.

    He claimed to have evidence leading to the arrest of Hillary Clinton!

    Thats ok - John McAfee himself never used it either...

    "Although a pioneer of computer security, he once admitted to the BBC that he never actually used the software on his own computers - or any anti-virus software for that matter." (link)



    says a lot for the product...

    “Roll it back”

    Years back. He set it up in '87 and was completely gone from it by '94.

    In and out.

    He's a real stand up guy, when tied to a stake.

    Intel paid over $7bn for it.
    McAfee fortune fell to $7m during the crash.
