*BASED ON ACCOUNTS FEATURED IN THE #1 NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY FILM RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL* A 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist for Best True Crime John McAfee: internet pioneer, presidential candidate, and probable madman. After parting ways with the eponymous McAfee Antivirus software company in 1994, McAfee embarked on innumerable business, political, and criminal enterprises. From investing in cybersecurity and cryptocurrency, to accusations of murdering his neighbor in Belize, to making two unsuccessful bids for President of the United States—the latter attempt done in exile following a federal indictment—this larger-than-life man nurtured a rakish public profile while evading law enforcement for his involvement with drugs, weapons, and murder.
