McAfee’s bizarre world began to unravel in May, when police raided his home and arrested him on suspicion of manufacturing crystal meth and possession of an unlicensed weapon. McAfee protested his innocence to anyone who would listen.
“It began, innocently enough, with my refusal to donate to the local political boss of the district where I lived in Orange Walk and I have given at least $2million in gifts to the police departments,†he said, casting further doubt on his 2009 claim he had only $4m left, which he later admitted was “not very accurate at allâ€.
“Basically what I developed is a topical antiseptic. That's what they claimed was my meth lab,†he told Gizmodo.
This week it was alleged that McAfee has nevertheless been a regular contributor to a drug makers’ forum under the name “stuffmongerâ€. The poster explained how he had been trying to purify a "super perv powder" called MDPV and had been testing the results on himself.
“I think it's the finest drug ever conceived, not just for the indescribable hypersexuality, but also for the smooth euphoria and mild comedown,†he said.
Jeff Wise, who has known McAfee for several years and interviewed him many times, speculated his adventures in psychoactive chemistry may account for McAfee’s most bizarre recent behaviour. Detectives want to question him over the murder of his neighbour, fellow American ex-pat Gregory Faull, but he has gone into hiding, while again protesting innocence in the media.
“Certainly he was not my favourite person and I was not his,†McAfee said in an interview from an unknown location in Belize, where he is holed up with a 17-year-old girlfriend.
"He was a heavy drinker and an annoyance. But the world is full of annoyances; if we killed all of our annoyances, there would be nobody left.â€
McAfee blamed the police for Mr Faull’s murder, and said he feared that he would be killed too.
