By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Jul 24, 2019, 7:53 PM ET

Millionaire John McAfee said Wednesday that he was released from detention in the Dominican Republic along with five others.

The Caribbean island's armed forces and public ministry said earlier in the day that McAfee was taken into custody along with U.S. citizens Elizabeth McAfee and Richard Alan Gibson, Robert Whitfield of Germany, Oral Thompson of The Bahamas and Vasner Louis of Haiti.

They were suspected of traveling on a yacht carrying high-caliber weapons, ammunition and military-style gear, officials said.

McAfee tweeted: "I was well treated. My superiors were friendly and helpful. In spite of the helpful circumstances, we've decided to move on. More later."

1. Oops!

[BigmanPigman]

2. Something is fishy...

"McAfee's account tweeted last week his "only crime is not filing tax returns" and "the rest is propaganda by the U.S. government to silence me."

"McAfee has been on the run related to a 2012 murder in Belize. He's claimed that he's running for president on a cryptocurrency platform and has developed an "unhackable" cryptocurrency wallet."

"Loggia-Ramirez tweeted from McAfee's account Tuesday that "if John misses his next check-in, events will be set into motion that I cannot prevent once they have begun. John has secreted data with individuals across the world. I know neither their identities or locations. They will release their payloads if John goes missing."

3. McAfee is crazy

Literally - he is crazy

I met him years ago and know people who know him and he is beyond eccentric...he is batshit crazy.

Smart as hell - but very unstable. So who knows what is going on there.

Only thing more dangerous than a mentally unstable person with lots of cash is one who also has weapons.

5. He's also a pervert and all those homebrewed drugs have fried his brain...

Don't worry about his cache of weapons; he's way too paranoid to use them anyway

7. "Only thing more dangerous than a mentally unstable person with lots of cash is one who also...

has weapons."

9. Why is it all uber rich capitalist kings are either crazy, psychopaths, criminals, pedophiles or

all at the same time?

Even the Waltons go around murdering people with their cars.

What makes all these people so absolutely awful?

10. "What makes all these people so absolutely awful?"

Having worked for one of these arrogant assholes, I can say it's their unlimited sense of privilege and entitlement.
