How absolutely bizarre

McAfee Admits to Faking Heart Attack in Guatemala

Software guru John McAfee is back and [sic] the U.S. after pulling a sly one on Guatemalan authorities when he faked a heart attack during his first night in detention in Guatemala.

McAfee, who returned to the U.S. Wednesday and was staying in Miami Beach, Florida, said that he was strategically “playing the crazy card” with his faked heart attack.

The chatty computer genius was deported from Guatemala after sneaking in illegally from Belize, where police want to question him in connection with the death of a U.S. expatriate who lived near him on an island off Belize's coast. U.S officials said there was no active arrest warrant for McAfee that would justify taking him into custody.

He said he was put on a plane to Miami where he will stay until his two girlfriends, 20-year-old Belizean Samantha Vanegas and a woman he called "Amy," can join him.

McAfee claims Belizean authorities stormed his home, killed five of his dogs, handcuffed him for hours, and tried to extort money. He has not been formally charged with a crime. But still, it's a weird case.
