Crazy like a fox? McAfee admits to playing the 'crazy card'
The recent actions of security software icon John McAfee may have seemed off kilter, but he now says that at least some of that was a ruse.
McAfee, speaking with ABC News after arriving in the U.S., said he faked illness to avoid being sent back to Belize from Guatemala. He also thanked the media for closely covering his story.
"It was a deception, but who did it hurt? I look pretty healthy, don't I?," he said during an interview with ABC at a Miami Beach hotel. He added:
What's a better story, millionaire mad man on the run. You [the media] saved my ass because you paid attention to the story. As long as you are reporting, it is hard to whack somebody that the world is watching.
