John McAfee announces he’s running for President. (ignore the murder thing, I guess)

There’s yet another candidate jumping into the race for the White House, and he’s got his own political party.

John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate who fled Belize after police tried to question him for murder, confirmed to CNNMoney that he plans to run for President in 2016 and that he’d created his own party — the Cyber Party.

Snip
In August, McAfee was arrested for DUI and possession of a handgun while he was under the influence. He said the case was still pending and would be back in court in November. He said it wasn’t alcohol but Xanax that made him “dysfunctional” — a claim he said would be supported by the blood test.

McAfee also made news in January 2014 when he fled police in Belize who sought to question him for the death of his neighbor.

He likes Trump, thinks Trump is "smart".

Intel is distancing itself from the name of its top security product, McAfee, after years of having its name dragged through the mud thanks to the misadventures of its founder, John McAfee.

"Are you filthy rich and do you have everything you want? But what's the point of owning something if other people own something similar? How about you add being President of the United States to your gallery?"
