John McAfee - The Millionaire Madman: John McAfee has been described as many things… Eccentric tech millionaire. International fugitive. Presidential candidate. And suspected killer. Honestly, John McAfee’s life is one of the most fascinating and bizarre stories I’ve ever heard. And opinion is split on whether John McAfee was a hero, or the devil. You see, John McAfee was once hailed as a pioneer in cybersecurity after creating his revolutionary antivirus company, McAfee. But McAfee’s life then took a series of dark and crazy turns, and became a complex web of paranoia and controversy. This is the tale of a man who embodied both genius and madness, a millionaire willing to break any laws he wanted. And I promise you this: the deeper down this rabbit hole we go, the crazier things will get. As every layer we peel back, reveals an even darker mystery. It’s time to explore the full story of John McAfee. (McAfee Documentary by MagnatesMedia - home of fascinating business stories / entrepreneur biographies).

Hey legends - I took a little break at the start of the year but I’m now back and feeling refreshed. This video has been one of my all-time favourites to make as it’s such a crazy story. Hope you enjoy! :) For those asking about my ‘KZbin business’ course (everything I know about making videos, growing a channel/business etc) I’m still working on it and within the next month it should finally be live. Sorry for such a long wait, but I want it to be incredible. If you wanna reserve a spot, just go here: magnatesmedia.com P.S. Normally I aim for each video to have its own aesthetic. But McAfee’s life is so wild that each chapter felt like it needed a slightly different visual style (as one minute he’s working in the middle of the jungle, then he’s on the run, then he’s trying to be president…) - so hopefully the different aesthetics help capture each of the unique chapters of John’s life. 😅

[@lynderherberts2828]

I was working for the federal government when we received notice that the Michelangelo Virus would soon hit our computers on a specific date. The men I worked with were literally panicking and getting stressed out. One of the high ranking men came to me with his dilemma and asked me why I was smiling. I told him I simply changed the date on my computer so that the virus date was bypassed. He was stunned. Shocked. I wish you could have seen his face. He changed the date on his computer, then told his boss. The boss called the men into a meeting. All of the men changed the date on their computers. Word was given to the fort's general and disseminated. I was glad to be of help. I was there to serve my country. A haughty soldier that I worked with openly ridiculed me for being the one who came up with the simple plan of changing the date on the computer because I'm a woman. I felt bad for his wife.

McAfee genuinely seems like the kind of guy who would absolutely be crazy enough to off himself specifically to create a conspiracy about how he didn't and what he might have known. He was that kind of weird and dramatic while way less well-connected than certain other people that's suspected about, probably knew all his fans would get a rise out of it.

It's sickening to see so many people in the comments calling him "a legend" when he was a druggie and a rapist...

[@mysmiee]

Thanks for pointing that out I was confused when reading these comments

[@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman]

Rapist? Proof?

[@ToBeIsWasWere]

First of all taking drugs is not a sign of a bad person at all, as long as he only does it to himself there's literally nothing remotely morally questionable about it, if you want to destroy your body be my guest (I know he did some more fucked up things connected to drugs, but "druggies" just aren't inherently immoral. Using date rape drugs on someone else for instance, that's inherently immoral, just consuming substances is not). Also lots of "legends" had some incredibly fucked up life. And boy do "legends" like drugs. But hell, even Gandhi was racist and people act like he was Jesus 2.0. Doesn't make them less of a legend, legends can be fucked up too, it's all about how memorable their actions were and what kind of legacy they leave behind and McAffee had an interesting life that you could say is legendary while still acknowledging he was a terrible person. Legends aren't defined as good people dude.
