Till yesterday John McAfee, founder of McAfee security software, was a man-on-the-run fugitive. John McAfee was claiming to have falsified the metadata of a photo that took him to Guatemala.

If news reports are to be believed he is in Guatemala, after exiting Belize with the aid of “many supporters. John Mcaffee said:

“I apologize for all of the misdirections over the past few days. It was not easy to exit Belize and required many supporters in many countries. I am in Guatemala and will be meeting with Guatemalan officials this morning. If all goes well I will do a press conference tomorrow.”

Reporters from various tech publications joined up with McAfee in Guatemala after the programmer and McAfee security software founder went on the run from authorities on suspicion of murder.

“Yesterday was chaotic due to the accidental release of my exact co-ordinates by an unseasoned technician at Vice headquarters. We made it to safety in spite of this handicap. I had to cancel numerous interviews with the press yesterday because of this and I apologize to all of those affected,” added McAfee.

McAfee was wanted by Belize police in connection to the murder of his American neighbour Gregory Viant Faull, who was found dead two days earlier at his home on the island of Ambergris Caye. McAfee has maintained his innocence ever since.

McAfee plans to post more details later today, so keep your eyes and ears tuned to our blog Mouseworld Now until then.
