John McAfee Is Hunkered Down in Portland Now

from Gizmodo.com: Of course it's Portland. The weirdest story in tech in 2012 has resurfaced in the Northwest. McAfee's going to be spending the next 18 months in the city, and we're trying to figure out what, exactly his next move is.

McAfee's been back in the US since December, when he arrived in Miami on a commercial jet. 

That followed a several-week saga of McAfee being on the run from Belizean authorities under suspicion of murder. He sat for an interview with Williamette Weekly upon his arrival in Portland, and there are a few clips online already, with more to come.

Gizmodo's Peter Ha is staying in Portland this week, just up the block from Mary's, a strip club where McAfee was on the 9th for an interview with the Sunday London Times, and trying to get in touch with Mr. McAfee this week.

McAfee's Rise And Downfall Via Technology

John McAfee, a pioneer developer of anti-virus software that grew into McAfee Associates, was arrested Wednesday in Guatemala after nearly a month as a fugitive from murder in Belize. McAfee's neighbor, Gregory Faull "... reportedly complained about McAfee’s rowdy lifestyle and his pack of dogs that occasionally bit passersby. On Nov. 9, four of the dogs died of poisoning. Two days later, Faull was shot in the head in his home," reports Yahoo News.  McAfee was located when "...journalists released an iPhone photo [here] with metadata that included the exact coordinates of McAfee’s location. They were in Rio Dulce, a small town near Guatemala’s Caribbean coast not far from the Belize border." McAfee amassed fortune of $100 million, which evaporated to single digits with dwindling economy.  Tech giveth and tech taketh away!
