This is a bit difficult to place anywhere, but the information is quite important:
http://www.whoismcafee.com/a-clear-and-present-danger/

I tend to keep an eye on a lot of places, and follow a lot of alternative information in an effort to keep an eye on the current state of world affairs. It also allows me to point out when people need to move money, or move away from somewhere entirely if I really don't like what I see. McAfee is a rather interesting individual [to say the least,] and while this is not quite in the order of "Operation Snow White" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White) he has managed to infiltrate the Belize Government quite effectively; uncovering something that'll affect a lot of people. This particular article had that air of "interesting, and correct" about it. I don't get that unless it's something important I need to keep an eye on [an ability that only works with text.]

As a lot of you are located in the states you need to read this carefully. I'll throw anything similar that I spot in here, McAfee was not exactly expecting to find this, and the sheer audacity of the entire scheme is, unfortunately, how things work in the real world.

Thanks for posting these, I concur, tis very interesting.

FWIW, these are the mainstream sources I could find that have covered this story so far:

- slashdot (http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/01/05/0357209/john-mcafee-explains-how-he-milked-information-from-belizes-elite)
- The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/07/john_mcafee_spymaster/)
- Betabeat (http://betabeat.com/2013/01/new-years-eve-in-sin-city-digital-footprint-may-have-outed-mcafee-again/)
- Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/the-bizarre-tale-of-john-mcafee-spymaster/)
- reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/16329z/remember_millionaire_fugitive_antivirus_baron/)
- one of the two most popular Hungarian news sites (original (http://www.origo.hu/techbazis/20130107-terroristakat-leplez-le-john-mcafee-informatikai-milliardos.html) and very bad quality google-translated version (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=hu&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.origo.hu%2Ftechbazis%2F20130107-terroristakat-leplez-le-john-mcafee-informatikai-milliardos.html)), it's on the front page as of right now

Worth reading the user-contributed comments as well in all cases, IMO.
