ohn McAfee is the founder of McAfee Antivirus has been a
philanthropist and investor in Belize. How rich is McAfee? We’re not
sure, but rich enough to donate a vessel worth one point two million
dollars to the Belize Coastguard in January 2009. McAfee lives in Belize
and he says that he has become a target of the Gang Suppression Unit.
He says the GSU came busting into his research facility in Orange Walk,
killed his dog, took his passport, handcuffed him and arrested him on a
bogus weapons charge. McAfee says he’s a victim because he didn’t donate
money to a known U.D.P. Orange Walk politician.
John McAfee, Claims False Imprisonment by GSU
On Monday at six o’clock, I was awakened by the sound of a bullhorn,
a megaphone. I went outside and saw about thirty GSU in full uniform,
full dressed, automatic weapons, storming through the property and drive
way. I went back inside, got some clothes on, I came out. I was told to
put up my hands up against the wall as was eleven other people on the
compound. We had about eleven people present at the time—five of them
were women. I was told that they had a warrant to search property. They
began, with sledge hammers, to break the doors of the buildings—none of
them were locked, but they just went and broke them in any case. I was
merely watching this. They confiscated my passport, all of the weapons
we used for security on the compound, handcuffed me and everyone and for
fourteen hours outside in the sun, I sat handcuffed without food or
water. We got water around noon. At three o’clock we asked for food. We
were told by the GSU, do we look like cooks to you. They murdered my dog
in cold blood. That was the thing I think—it was a warning to us that
this is serious; don’t mess with us.
