The name McAfee reminds me

The name McAfee reminds me

of my very first laptop.

Like most PCs in the '90s,

it had McAfee antivirus
software pre‐installed.

Software security guru
John McAfee,

he made millions
as one of the nation's

first big software pioneers.

I didn't think about
that name again until 2012,

when John McAfee
was all over the news.

John McAfee, whose name
was synonymous with security,

is now becoming synonymous
with the mysterious murder

of McAfee's neighbor,
Greg Faull.

Of McAfee's neighbor,
Greg Faull.

I read about John's
bizarre lifestyle in Belize,

including being wanted
for questioning in a homicide

and going on the run.

A murder in paradise,

as police launch
a full‐scale search

for an eccentric
American tycoon, John McAfee.

2016, just a few years later,

John was again in the news,

this time, he was running for
President of the United States.

Antivirus software industry
pioneer John McAfee,

throwing his hat into
the 2016 presidential ring.

Throwing his hat into

What has created terrorism?

Our interference in the affairs
of foreign states.

Dropping bombs on families.

And talking about

some of the most significant

cybersecurity issues
of our time.

But no one was talking
about his past.

You are an expert,
and I know you're brilliant

when it comes to matters
of security.

We are in the first cyber war.

You said that you could unlock

the San Bernardino terrorists'
phones for the FBI.

How did John McAfee
reinvent himself?

Are there different rules

Are there different rules

for people with money,
power, and fame?

Or is John just
a master manipulator?

The last 15 years,
I've been making documentaries

on complex and controversial
celebrities.

I've been fascinated
with how being famous

can put you under
a cruel spotlight.

But it can also allow
for extraordinary privileges.

Like the ability
to get away with things.

Was this the case
with John McAfee?

John, where are you going?

John, where are you going?

To jail.

What really happened in Belize?

When I started the film,

I reached out to John.

He refused to do an interview.

But he repeatedly emailed me.

He would say,
"Do not contact me again."

I really thought he was

He bought prime property.

He used to bring his friends

We are getting a lot

John started donating things

to the police department.

Very generous.

Extremely generous.

He told us, "Guys, anything,
you need help,

my doors are open."

my doors are open."

He donated a considerable amount

of equipment to police.

Boots, stun guns,
different assortment of weapons.

I recall, when he get his
residence card here,

he gave the government of Belize
a $1 million boat.

And that made the news here.

Why this donation

is it out of the goodness

Entrepreneur John McAfee
is still doing

what comes naturally:

starting new businesses.

This is an entrepreneur's
paradise, here.

There are virtually
no regulations on business.

McAfee started a ferry service.

He's also cultivating
jungle plants

that he hopes will be
the building blocks

for medicines of the future.

I was doing my
postdoc, I was at Harvard,

but I always heard about Belize.

Just how amazing
the jungles were

and the local healers.

Decided to go to Belize
and just see

what it was all about, you know?

But anyway, we'll talk about
that, then.

I ended up meeting John McAfee.

Yeah, I didn't know him
from Adam,

but I told him about
my research,

and he seemed engaged.

He seemed interested,

and within, you know,
minutes of conversation,

and within, you know,
minutes of conversation,

he offered me my dream job.

He said, "You can continue
your research,

and we'll make
a business out of it."

And I thought,
"Oh, my God."

I mean, this is‐‐ this is it.

This is, like, my big break.

There was not a space
for the lab,

and he had me stay with him,

um, which made me
very uncomfortable.

I saw a lot of stuff
when I was living in his place.

He had armed guards.

I'm not a huge fan of guns.

Um, he had meetings

with people that were
also armed.

With people that were
also armed.

Um‐‐

At one point he said
that he was working on a book

with two heavily armed,

very built men from the Ukraine.

I mean, I don't know, this is
probably not relevant.

‐ I'm sorry, this is‐‐
‐ That's okay.

This is the tangent that I told
you I would go on.

Yeah, that's okay.
That's part of interviewing.

‐ It's just, there's‐‐

You know, it's hard to know
where to start.

I wanted to start
with John's past.

In emails he was evasive.

But I managed to dig up
some of his records.

He was born in England,
and grew up

an only child in Virginia.

According to John, his father
was an abusive alcoholic

and committed suicide
when John was young.

Eventually, John graduated
college and became

Eventually, John graduated
college and became

a computer engineer.

In the 1980s, he tried his luck
in Silicon Valley.

McAfee, may I help you?

Speaking.

It's one of those strange days.

His first efforts with
antivirus were in late '86.

And, uh, he was always playing

with different kinds of code.

There was this new problem
with computers,

that was a‐‐your computer
could catch a cold.

Okay, there it goes.

In Budapest, uh,
we have a hospital

that lost 25 systems.

Uh, including
all patient records‐‐hello?

When John came up
with antiviral software,

90% of the people
that were running computers

weren't even aware of viruses.

And then viruses started
getting names.

It's called Michelangelo.

It's called Michelangelo.

It's a lowdown work of sabotage

that could wreck millions
of computer programs

around the world.

What is a computer virus?

A computer virus, Bryant,

is a program
written by a hacker.

Any computer that it's in,
it activates

and destroys all of the data
in those systems.

John showed his first
signs of savvy,

working with the media.

Able to articulate
a scary story.

This doomsday virus
was about to hit.

The entire research
community agrees,

this is the number one virus.

It is the number one
computer threat.

It's real,
and it's going to happen

on the 6th of March.

The Michelangelo Virus
caused many people

around the world to download

antivirus software
for the first time.

That's how the money
just started rolling in.

By 1993, McAfee controlled

67% of the desktop
antivirus market.

They only had about
20 employees.

Do not stand in doorways.
Stand against‐‐

But there were already,
like, $14 million in revenue.

‐ They were printing money.
‐ Excuse me.

It still was a group
of John's original friends

and family that worked there.

A lot of them didn't have
careers before.

Excuse me.
Gretzky, Tech Support.

John had more, like,
a cult style.

And people would not go home
for two and three days.

They would sleep
under their desk

They would sleep
under their desk

to make sure John was happy
with the work they were doing.

Okay, what you need to do
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file‐‐

It was a crazy culture,
that's for sure.

Three of the women
were supposedly witches,

and they would sit
in the conference room

and have, like, a little chant.

Andrea Nation would come in
in the morning

with a bottle of Windex

and clean off
Bill Larson's desk.

Because there was
a sex contest going on.

Because there was
a sex contest going on.

You'd get points.

They had a group called
Little Foxes,

where they, um,
would give points

for, uh, having sex

in different spots
of the office.

John being this free spirit,

that made the culture
of the company.

He wasn't the typical
suit and tie guy.

The investors wanted
to take the company

to the next level.

To the next level.

And that was definitely not
John's forte.

They felt like John
couldn't do that

and I think that John
didn't want to do it, either.

They bought John out.

They bought his shares out.

He sensed the virus threat

in a way
that most people didn't.

He seemed brilliant
but also paranoid.

He is more sensitive

than, maybe, the average person

than, maybe, the average person

to potential threats.

My wife thought it
a little funny

when he came next door,
looking for his wife Judy,

who was over visiting with us,

'cause he wasn't home yet.

And he shows up, and he‐‐and so,

I let him in the house
and he's got

a gun in his back pocket.

And I says‐‐ Susan said,

you know, uh,
"Is that a gun in your pocket,

or are you just happy
to see me?"

You know?

And, you know, he just,
"Oh, well, you know,

it's dark out, there's no street
lights on this street.

You never know."

But they were making
quite a bit of money then.

But they were making

And maybe somebody
kidnapped his wife.

So he came over to see

Is that paranoid?

in Silicon Valley,

John did not retire.

He created social network
ventures

like Tribal Voice and PowWow.

But they didn't take off.

But they didn't take off.

Then in 2000, he exited
the business world completely.

He bought 280 acres
of land in Colorado

and opened a yoga
and meditation center.

I've been doing yoga
and meditation for 35 years.

Given the life that I lead‐‐

I lead life on the edge.

I have to do something.

So I believe in yoga.
Yoga will extend your life,

and it'll also give you a clear
perspective of yourself.

And it'll also give you a clear

I asked John
how he got involved in yoga.

After he opened his yoga center,

he began inviting people
to stay there.

Got up there, and there's
this beautiful house.

These stunning yoga studios

and probably space
for about 25 people to sleep.

Massive grounds and literally
like his own forest.

Massive grounds and literally
like his own forest.

It was kind of too big
to even get my head around,

this massive place
that one guy owned.

And he'd let you
stay there for free.

Pain is nothing more
than a powerful sensation,

is it not?

I mean, it's‐‐it's your body
talking to you

like your body talks to you
when you get a massage

or when you're sexually aroused.

Yeah, there was rumors in town

it was a cult
that he had up there,

up in the hills.

Up in the hills.

He always had an entourage,

like, a tribe,

which was beautiful.

What is this thing that you want

to make immortal?

Because to live is to die
simultaneously.

I truly believe
he was‐‐he was enlightened.

He was‐‐he was a guru.

He'd written five books
on the yoga process.

They're really good.

They're really good.

Later, I remember him saying

that they were all shit.

He was insinuating that he
wasn't into that stuff anymore.

You know, there was
a definite shift in personality.

He was a different‐‐

I mean, you could‐‐

In this recession,
the average American

every penny.

But the man you are

It's staggering, really.

On Saturday, auctioneers
worked up bids

for the rarified retreat

who's taken it on the chin
in this recession.

It's been reported you were
worth about $100 million.

‐ That may have been true.
‐ Yet now you're‐‐

‐ Less than ten.
‐ Less than $10 million.

And why wouldn't I be?

The things we want
and the things we need

are two different things.

Did it take you a while

to come to that realization?

Yeah, about 65 years.

Now, McAfee plans to take

his remaining handful
of millions

and head to Central America,

where he started a new venture

to develop natural medicines.

I asked John
if he moved to Belize

because he lost so much money.

He said, "Not at all,
I lost very little."

So I asked
if he transferred his money

to offshore accounts.

if I could bring

Three bad, mean‐ass

and tell him,
"Be careful."

So I did.

Where did you find them?

In a place called George Street

in Belize City.

They were very much a part of
the bad boys of George Street.

They were paid

I brought them up
to Orange Walk.

They knew what
they needed to do.

I left them here.

I recall seeing a police officer

at the roadway,
right at the barrier

where the tollbooth is.

Then John said,
"Oh, he's on our side.

He's on our team."

So did they beat him
up when they caught him?

He told me he wanted
to talk to the guy personally.

I suggested to him
that that's not a good idea.

He said, "No, I just want
to talk to him."

I think he wanted
to make his point, like,

"Don't fuck with me."

"Don't fuck with me."

Somehow they led him up
to the vehicle

and put him inside the vehicle
to talk to John

for about four or five minutes.

Then John drove off.

David was taken to the hospital.

Did you have an alibi?

So...

Mm‐hmm.

I wanted to check out
Eddie's alibi.

But it felt way too dangerous.

Going around George Street
and asking questions?

Not a good idea.

Not a good idea.

Remember
that crazy time in Belize?

It was as if it hadn't happened.

It was as if it hadn't happened.

It looked like John
had lived the full fantasy

of an ugly American living large

in a poor
Central American country.

He had apparently gotten away
with possible murder and rape,

buying the police,
buying young women,

indulging in bizarre,
degrading sex,

all seemingly
without consequence.

So I gotta keep the public
interested in me, right?

‐ Yep.
‐ Well, I can do it

by doing any number of things.

Being a bad guy,
being a good guy,

being a fool,
being all three at once.

Uh, whatever it takes.

He goes from running away

And in this case,
he wanted to be

President of the United States.

throwing his hat into
the 2016 presidential ring.

Have you actually filed yet, and
have you started to raise money?

I filed the papers on Tuesday.

Uh, I'm officially running,
yes, ma'am.

We all know he likes attention.

Okay, so, at any point in time,

if he's not getting as much

media attention
as he would like,

then he'll absolutely
do something outrageous,

say something outrageous,
post something outrageous.

Say something outrageous,
post something outrageous.

Spy cameras are hidden
in cactuses.

The government
surreptitiously parses

our verbal communications.

And the concept of privacy

is fast approaching extinction.

Running for president
is pretty outrageous.

Mr. McAfee, as president,
what would you do about ISIS?

ISIS is a problem
of intelligence gathering

more than anything else.

I mean, we have the capacity‐‐
certainly‐‐

is anybody doing terrorist acts
inside of China?

Or inside of Russia?
No, it just doesn't happen.

Or inside of Russia?
No, it just doesn't happen.

They are so far ahead of us
from a cybersecurity standpoint,

meaning, intelligence gathering
in the modern age.

While John was
running for president,

the investigation into
Greg Faull's murder continued.

In early 2016,
the Belizean police force

asked the FBI for assistance.

This allowed FBI agents
to investigate

and potentially try the case
in the United States

if they were able to collect
enough evidence.

If they were able to collect
enough evidence.

Tonight, there is a report
that Amy Emshwiller,

one of McAfee's girlfriends
at the time,

has been detained
for questioning

in the murder of Faull.

She was picked up by the police,

who have been working
with the FBI

to crack the homicide.

It's Nanette.

I couldn't believe
that John's girlfriend

I couldn't believe
that John's girlfriend

also fingered Eddie McKoy.

It echoed what Cash told me.

But without a DNA test
to match the fingernail,

there's not enough evidence
to make any arrests.

They would have to find Eddie
to see if his DNA matched.

A few days later,
Eddie emailed me.

He's leaving Belize.
For good.

So why are you leaving?

Someone shot at you
in your home?

Does it have anything
to do with John?

Or is it entirely separate
business?

Why do you think
he wants to hurt you?

What you told me is not‐‐

‐ I mean, other‐‐
‐ Oh, yeah, yeah.

‐ You know‐‐
‐ But not everything.

It's too complicated?

And, you know?

Are you leaving tomorrow?

John was attending
a Libertarian debate

in New York.

We had been emailing, texting,

talking on the phone all year.

But this would be the first time

I was meeting him face‐to‐face.

He's doing very well
in the polls.

‐ Okay.
‐ He's one of

the top three candidates

in the Libertarian Party.

‐ Yes.
‐ So let's go in.

Okay.

You ready?

John, I wanted

I don't see how I can lose.
I'm serious.

‐ So, um, I mean,

based on the numbers‐‐

that‐‐that I have it.

Are you still in touch
with people from Belize?

Of course, yes,
I have many friends there.

‐ Do you recognize me?

‐ You don't?

‐ I'm Nanette.

Well, nice to meet you, Nanette.

I do not want to be

Can I have your

We're in a public event.

Can I have all
of the state officers,

the new ones, all of
the delegates from the counties,

step into the hallway out there

where we can have a meeting
where it's a little bit quiet.

‐ Thank you very much.
‐ Thank you.

Are you leaving, John?

Bye.

Less than one hour later,

John sent me a flurry of emails.

to be considered

a major player

We are told by the corporations

then why should we care?

He was named CEO

He's legitimized himself again.

It's an amazing transition.

He is talking about

He's talking about iPhones.
You know, he's talking about

real privacy,
security issues of our times.

And he's doing it

I mean, they think
he's eccentric.

As long as he's got

That's what I thought.
