SCL Presents: Throwback Interview with John McAfee - June 6, 2025
- June 06, 2025
- Spearfish City Limits continues broadcasting some throwback interviews. This interview is with John McAfee of McAfee anti-virus software and originally aired on November 26, 2019.
- John was on the run with his wife, Janice, months before his eventual capture and alleged death in a Spanish prison. This is by far the strangest interview I have ever done. Apparently, construction noise was going on at his location, or his team was performing some elaborate masking of audio and location. You'll notice at the end of the interview, John cuts things short when I start demonstrating deeper knowledge of computers and how they work. He was selling a secure compute platform, and I questioned the architecture. His response leads me to believe he knew more about the impossibility of privacy than he was letting-on. It also lends some credence to the possibility that he faked his death, and that there is a newly minted millionaire who also happens to be a retired Spanish prison guard.
