An unstable personality that hates the US saying the US government would stage a suicide is much more likely to actually kill themselves than your regular run-of-the-mill evil billionaire with powerful enemies saying nothing about how they will die.

I don't think Mcafee really thought things through enough to come to this conclusion.

"I'd never kill myself" is exactly what a suicidal person _would_ say.. Great post.

They even had it tattoo'd on their arm in a cringey fashion to show how down-to-Earth and committed to this plane of existence they were.

It is also what folks with absolutely no intention of killing themselves would say. Sure, you could parse out situations where they might and you could probably make someone's life so unimaginably miserable that the would eventually turn to it, but these are fringes.
