Well, seeing as 2019 is when he fled the US to avoid prosecution for tax fraud, it's not like it took a lot of foresight to say "hrm, maybe the US government will catch me."

Still that’s quite petty motivation for such a long con.

“Such a long con” kind of assumes that McAfee thought if he got caught, it would take this long.

How is this a long con? It's two years. According to the indictments he was being extradited for, that's _not the longest con John McAfee has been involved in_.
