75 years old?? this man aged pretty well considering the lifestyle
I'd say that an (almost) stress free lifestyle can do wonders to one's aging, specially on men. Its clear that Mcafee has more joys and excitement in his life compared to days of him having to worry about day to day stuff.
You gotta keep in mind that for long periods of time he was actually living a healthy, non alcoholic lifestyle. But, yes, many other periods of time he was doing all kinds of wild shit
@@geoffreybrooks5207 lot's of coke and cigarettes n meth.
The lifestyle is why he aged well.
I’m a drug taker who is 45 but looks 35 easy, I work out daily plus it’s genetics as well!
He donated computers to the police department in Belize and then spied on them through a backdoor. Genius move.
He knew they were coming for him and escaped.
This guy's life was almost like a script from Hollywood fiction section, a real time movie... he left a mark in this world...
Thing is, if someone pitched this as a film idea, it'd probably get rejected for being too out there....

Can't wait to see the Hollywood version of his life with Robert Downey Jr. in the leading role.

I wasn’t the only one thinking this

John McAfee didn't uninstall himself
Underrated
Ok ryder
Easy does it.... Rolling down the street in my 6.4
Just like Jeffrey Epstein..
Jeffery Epstein was about to spend life in maximum security prison. As a pederast. Do you have any idea what other prisoners do to people like Epstein? They knock their teeth out so they can't bite down when a dick gets forced down their throats.
Consider his motivations for a second.
Heck, I'm amazed that even with all the drug use he STILL managed to sound literate, sired 47 kids, and didn't look anywhere near 75! 🤯
It may have been the drug use that kept him on his toes
The very definition of a mad lad.
@@wango6603 offence was taken
You're probably the last person I thought who would comment here, lol. Love your vids and damn you for rick rolling in the coffin dance vid. xD
Absolute mad lad 😜
What about Tiger King? :D
Nice
Never heard of his story, I am surprised that he made it to 75 with the lifestyle he was living!
Money can do that for a person…or should I say buy that for a person
You mustn't chase enough rabbits, lol
McAfee will always be with us. He is as impossible to uninstal from our hearts as his namesake is from our hard drives.
trick is to know never give a trial (never get to know)
clean reinstall via usb
His company likes on, selling an enterprise security suite.
@@TesserId @John Suckher
You guys couldnt be less coherent.
@@morpheas768 Yeah, it is meant to be satirical, so I can imagine it might much too much in-joke stuff.
John Macafee was 75 when he was murdered?!? Holy crap I thought he was around 55 tops. For a coke snorting pirate he aged pretty good.
I can already tell this is going to be a hell of a ride.
True that
*To South America? Well, John has written how to guides on how to look like foreign press while traveling down there...*
He lost me at 47 kids.
Epstein didn't kill himself
I think the signs and symptoms of the downfall of the dominating world mafia is slowly observed, one after another. Does this mean? E.U, U.S, India, etc will have new systems, with new defined boundaries.
meanwhile dell :-
Imma bundle this mad man's software into everyone of our PCs
“John runs for president”
*5 seconds later*
“John fears for his life”
The dude seriously thought the IRS would kill him for not paying taxes
Like just pay up and live a slightly better life
No words for that naive comment
Anyone who wakes up to the governments plundering of humanity out and being in the public eye and calls it out … always ends up dead
@@calmgoodfire4662 now the irs wants to hire agents that are willing to use deadly force
His campaign headquarters was in the condo in Miami that collapsed
McAfee is bewildering. It’s like he went away to live the life of some kind of kingpin for 2 decades then in his last years returned to being the cybersecurity expert he started out as.
There was nobody like McAfee in Silcon Valley when he got there, and there was still nobody like his when he left. Truly an extraordinary person, definitely made his mark on the world.
The more I learn the more I realize that genius is on the border of insanity.
Sometimes ppl with high IQs really be crazy.. I agree ☝️
Did I ever tell you the defenition of insanity?😏
To go against is insane..so, who's crazy?? 🧐. Not John. And no, he didn't suicide himself.
Without mad geniuses, what we know today?? 🧐
Stop learning. You'll be much happier
@@someoneelse4492 ..I've thought @ dumbing down, but that sounds boring & I'd probably lose my shit (!)😅
Zero Sum, no sense changing. That would be crAzy🤪
😅
McAfee was partially right, the cyberwars are a real concern, but they actually are here (to name one case, Flame is not that old and involved many countries (probably still does today)). The average fella just doesn't conceive how complex this situation is and how much it will affect their lives. It's a pity that John had lost so much credibility when his message was so important.
Even the Pegasus spyware are being used by authoritarian governments like India, Saudi, Hungary, etc. Absolutely terrible
@@mohit_panjwani indian goverment is stupid not authoritarian
@@joebama6825 Who can tell, why did they used it, or if someone else used then its a bigger problem
OY3AH!
He had too many personal problems to be taken seriously as a candidate.
You seriously have one of the best channels on RUclips, dude. Your music is fantastic too. You’re a very knowledgeable, talented and motivated guy, and that comes through on every video you do.
John McAfee was Michael, Trevor and Lester all three combined in one
What about Franklin?
@@morpheas768 They have not that much incomin when you compare it to the other 3.
He would actually make a great GTA character
@@JaredVeale he would be the guy you’d have to assassinate on the mission and make it look like suicide for the FBI, so they can let you off the hook on the RICO case they got you for
@@DerNoo-Noo den Termin
75, good innings. Lived an awesome life. Mad lad. Legend.
No matter how many times I hear his story, it always surprises me how crazy it is...
You missed that part where, a day after John was suicided, an apartment building in Florida where he definitely did not own a condo that definitely did not contain a computer with incriminating evidence, collapsed on definitely not the side where the condo he definitely did not own, was definitely not situated.
I think it was false that he had any ties to that building
he said it. he DEFINITELY DID NOT OWN.@@matthewp1682
Imagine this: A few years from now the dude would turn up alive again and just saying he had to hide for a while. The internet would go crazy.
Imagine he saved his "seed" in the belice lab in order to clone/replicate himself in the future like the ultimate virus. Would be ironic.
If we were talking about anyone else I would roll my eyes at how cliche hollywood-movie that sounds and say that would never actually happen.
With McAfee though, he's the one guy I can totally see doing that. In fact I would be more surprised if that DIDN'T happen XD
I'm amazed. Powwow sounds incredibly ahead of its time. I was only 1 in 1994 but I was still doing things like this with yahoo messenger and aim and different forums, 6 years later.
Try "Oki's weird stories" for more of an in-depth dive on McAfee's biography.
✌😘
such a good series from Oki
Hahaha I watched the whole series too
Oki is the only brave man who ever contacted John McAfee, just for asking
Athaariq Ardiansyah wdym? He went on podcasts with a lot of youtubers
*_"Of course, there's always... the Belize option"_* 🥴
- Saul Goodman
I personally feel he's a very misunderstood man. Also, despite achieving all right, he still had the potential to do more.
*EDIT : whenever a movie is made on his life, Christian Bale should portray him.*
true 100%
Christian Bale would perfectly fit in
hbo did a hit documentary on him
just before john fucked off on his boat to evade the feds he invited me to his house. then he fucked off on his boat and i never got to go.
@@Neeboopsh Yeah and my dad works for Nintendo
He does remind me younger al pacino…
Nobody but Nicolas Cage could pull off that level of crazy.
Wow, so many crazy things about this guy and his life. The most amazing being at 1:35 - "amassing a small fortune by selling magazines door to door"
Yeah, that gave me pause as well.
That probably was somewhat new.
Remember he was born in 45 lol
47 children.. my word. This man really was living like an English noble.
A Chinese man has like 90 kids
@@spedmonie416 That’s nothing compared to the legendary mongolian man, Genghis Khan
If its true, its nothing to admire, it means he's a degenerate and basically poisons society with less genetic diversity.

Love your work Dagogo as always! I hope life is treating you well!
It's a bit sad when someone is going in the right direction but ends up totally off the planet.
It's because the earth is flat
@@humanoid-robotics It's really triangle shaped. Big flat and big globe will supress this information.
@@KingFluffs You got it wrong. It’s actually donut shaped. There’s a hole in the middle of the Earth guarded by the CIA.
@@Aliens1337 where does the hole lead and why is it guarded???
@@Aliens1337 No no no. The earth is actually velociraptor-shaped.
The day my favorite channel is talking about my favorite topic - thanks for paying a last tribute to john and whackd!
That man’s seed is POTENT.
Yeah, but too bad those kids will have only one parent and chances are majority of them may not end up well.
And his Antivirus software
It’s a made up number.
Watch the crucial documentary "The Connections (2021) [short documentary]" on youtube! Thanks! 💖
One thing that drove him mad, was the fact there's BEEN a true cyber warfare going on and is ONLY getting worse. He however, was in no shape to fix it as he became apart of the problem. PROBABLY cause he saw so many others committing cyber atrocities. BUT you mix in the money, the drugs, ego and a man who was not a match for all 3 either...
Was waiting for someone to make this and I can honestly say you were the last person I thought would do it 🤣 I'm so happy it was you though!
I am gaining immense knoweladge in each and every episode you upload. Thanks a lot & stay strong !!!!!
@ColdFusion▪️ What could be that?
I KNEW IT! I was 100% certain Dagogo would do a documentary about McAfee.
I asked for one, imagine my surprise when it showed up!
“His death, one month ago, is still a mystery to this day…”
It's not a mystery. He was murdered.
@@Hugh_Jurrection So you got proof? Might like to share?
@@Hugh_Jurrection You just shouldnt have replied. Shouting bs without proving you are right got so out of hand in the last years. smh
@@sodaaccount What are you goingna do, suiside'em?
@@serbrighterunagainst9231 Being rational and following the scientific method has nothing to do with being "on their side". It should be the norm to ask for proof instead of behaving like medieval peasants. Go burn some witches but stfu
The crazies always seem to know something that rarely reveals.
Not really. He said in an interview he intentionally gave government officials free laptops with his spyware on it. Now if he did in fact do that, and you're the government who finds out he has info on you, what would you do?
@@thephilosopher7173 yea sure. As if the government doesn't scan the computers before using it for government classification
@@dr.science_0177 that's the duality of government isn't it
they can be really really meticulous, with all of the contingency plan and the failsaves and the what ifs
they can also be really really shortsighted, with all of the outdated software, with all of the political manuvering and with all the idiocy
@@dr.science_0177 Scan it with what, another anti-virus software? He's a publicly recognized figure with a widely used software.
@@thephilosopher7173 his not a genius when it comes to coding. There are ways to detect Trojan software and you'd think the military or the government doesn't have any scanning on their devices before they uses them? They even banned any Chinese made devices from being used as a government devices
I have an, "in memory of John mcafee" shirt him sitting ina chair, with a halo, smoking a blunt. Inspiration to me. RIP John
The only thing I will remember from McAfee is the moment I finally managed to uninstall it.
ha ha - yes!!! It was such bloatware in the end - like most of the anti virus apps of that era
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! quality videos and beautiful voice. Keep it up!
His video about uninstalling the McAfee Anti Virus was really something!
I didn't even know he died. First time I'm hearing this.
Another great video and fascinating story by ColdFusion. You never disappoint!
I bought a small stack of 1,000 WHACKD coins in his honor when he died. Never selling them, not even if the price explodes to $100 per coin or something.
Which platform? I got to get some of those
But ghost also
"He was mad, bad, and dangerous to know."
RIP
Thanks for making a video on McAfee, probably not the most ethical person but definitely a real badass
Aww yeah!!! I was hoping you'd do this one! Can't wait to watch it!
On Netflix there's a new documentary thing about and commissioned by John McAfee you should see, because I think this video and subject deserves a more serious investigative attempt full of the integrity that we have come to love about your reporting. It's called Running With The Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee
and here's me pronouncing it McCafe this whole time :(
😂
There's 2 E's in McAfee for a reason.
@@morpheas768 It was a joke! LOL
@@morpheas768 i was ten when i used it and the name stuck with me
@@AlphaGeekgirl lmao I'm flattered
He lived his life the way he chose to not by what society dictated. RIP 🙏
society dictated him not to run scams, not to rape women, not to do drug and possibly drug traffic, not to kill his neighbors and who knows what else, is great to know that not everybody does what he did, that is why there is a world where we can live
It's the first time I watch one of your videos and I have more questions than answers.
I'm surprised he didn't talk about that forum post McAfee made, trying to design more potent bath salts. Insane. One thing's for sure, he lived life to the fullest
I can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorite videos.
Thank you Dagogo! Another awesome video!
McAfee didn’t uninstall himself
this needs to be fixed: you don´t do "lines of DMT" as you wouldn´t feel any effect doing this, instead it is smoked. Additionally when on DMT, you don´t move anywhere or do anything physical besides lying around.
^^^
Straight facts I can't even imagine a "bag" of dmt but you for damn sure ain't moving
You can snort dmt
Calm down rogan
you can indeed snort DMT and it's usually done in a similar fashion to cocaine from people who are going to DMT after doing cocaine. You just haven't been the person to try and acquire powdered DMT.
He didn't died he is just running in background
underrated comment!!!
I watched an interview with John mcafee where he said that the reason he wouldn’t go back on joe Rogan’s podcast was because joe stole a pair of twin dwarves from him in some foreign country
He was also laughing like the joker the whole time
I mean, Rogan's also a talentless huckster, so you can't blame somebody who actually made something for wanting to distance himself from such a schmuck.
I made this request on Discord, thanks to all who upvoted to have this video out... 😃

didn't join the discord, but glad you requested it. it's an interesting topic and ended up googling him for more

that's SO the right opening for the music Dagogo
Apart from great video making, you've got incredible taste in music.
You look like me
He actually makes the music himself, but perhaps you already knew that
@@markitube94 Brother?
@@Srab23 Yeah I did, if you click the Description and scroll down - he does credit the music he uses; which is what I was referring to. I like those artists.
@@Srab23 Yes he do produce music, but a lot he uses in his videos are from other artists. For example in this one I've heard for a good portion Midnight on Rainbow Road (Leon Vynehall) and Out of Town (Zero 7).
This man has the same taste in music than me so I feel at home !!! :D
"We are rapidly approaching an era where people vs government becomes a worldwide phenomenon." ~ John McAfee

looks like a hero to me
First they kill him. Then they spoil his image as a 'madman'. Poor John you messed with some really vicious ones.
Love the video, but you don't do a "One-line sample" of DMT. It's smoked, and once "hallucinations" begin, you ain't running anywhere. You aren't even here anymore. There's no "where" to run to. Lol.
This man gets it. I was looking for someone who was thinking what I was.
According to Joe Rogan, it takes 3 hits.
Joe Rogan enters the chat
Ya know your wrong about the administration nasal with DMT🤓 it most certainly can be.😊
You guys forgot to mention that doing DMT opens your "third eye" which gives you magical powers and abilities, transports you to another world and makes you intellectually superior, because you watched and listened to too much Joe Rogan and started believing the same nonsense he does.
Oh, and lets not forget the brilliant "but there's studies that show that hallucinogenics demonstrate the existence of the supernatural realm" argument, promoted by believers that want to believe such nonsense.
Me thinks that Dagogo is probably the coolest guy online. Bloody awesome
Never thought I would be interested in companies and businesses
You live in a society, slave to them.
same here. This channel is awesome
@@cardcode8345 eh...
Gotta stop in every few years to remember this absolute madlad.

There's a 2016 Documentary about him called, "Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee." It was one of the most bizarre doc's I've ever seen. McAfee was a wild one. Complete super-freak. And I had no idea he had THAT many kids until today.
Ok, that was a really cool story! Keep it up ❤️
This is the one of top tier channel, Love the work.
Whew, I was waiting on this one. 😮💨☕️
He will live on! Justice will be done, sooner or later. This is not the first amazing geniuses that they eliminate. Its kind of a classic at this point.
Stop shoving McAfee into our computers!!!!
There was a song by Zero 7 in this video. Love them!
This is going to be great!!
great video, excellent work Dagogo!
Thanks!
I remember installing McAfee VirusScan on my old AST PC when I first got on the net in the late 90's. After that, I never gave him or his company any further thought.
Genius is often misunderstood
Woah! Wasn't expecting Innerstanding here! Great minds unite at great minded content!
Me: uninstalls McAfee, deletes every folder named McAfee, and stops every related service on my computer
McAfee: oh no! anyway
This doesn’t help his antivirus
Mind-blowing really! A brilliant man with a bizarre character.
If you wanna hear stories from the man himself, he was on The Official Podcast a while back.
I am not sure about the music in the background. I like the old "You are watching Coldfusion TV" better. As always great content.. 👍

Whenever i hear "you're watching cold Fusion"... Butterflies & anticipation 😁
Now that's a life 😂😂
John is correct, taxation is theft. He didn’t agree to the taxes to be taken off his income, to be squandered on stuff he doesn’t use or get benefit from. It’s wealth redistribution mainly, which is punishment for working hard and earning income. Tax the lazy for not producing. That would be fairer as they are not paying their way in life. They are not contributing sweat equity.
"If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd."
Fascinating. Love your work Dagogo.
John "The Legend McAfee" will never die
Omg its like 90% of the commenters here cant spell, cant use proper grammar, no punctuation, and some are downright incoherent, almost like random word generators....
Its John "The Legend" McAfee. How hard is that? You typed one very short comment consisting of 7 words, 2 of which are a name, and you cant even put the quotes in the right place?
If John McAfee was a character in a Grand Theft Auto game people would say it was too absurd and unbelievable.
