John McAfee on a plane to America
The antivirus pioneer John McAfee is headed back to the United States after authorities in Guatemala expelled him earlier today for illegally entering the country in an attempt to escape authorities in Belize, where he is wanted for questioning in connection with a murder.
In a phone interview with Bloomberg News this afternoon, the 67-year old said he was being put on an American Airlines flight to Miami on Wednesday afternoon.
"I'm being expelled," McAfee said in the interview, which appears to have been given just before he was driven to the airport by Guatemalan law enforcement authorities. "I have no choice in the matter," he said. "However, I am perfectly happy with the decision."
