Was just reading about McAfee freebasing bath salts from old posts on an old Joe Rogan forum and not paying taxes seems like the absolute least he was up to:

>I've processed 23 kilos of this stuff in the past year or so, and bump it myself every day - in fair quantities the hypersexuality... is beyond belief. I have had a number of acquaintances (both male and female) who have rubbed their genitals way past the point of bleeding and still couldn't stop.

>In all honesty, a first time user, or a user on a large dose, when presented with food, will simply figure out a way to include it in the ongoing sex play with their partner. If alone, they will figure out a way to fuck it, or shove it up their rectum. This is not a joke. Everything on the Tan becomes a sex partner or a sex aid. If only visually. I will not, anymore, let anyone on Tan be alone with my dogs for example.

>A local brothel owner (prostitution is legal in my country) talked me out of a large amount of Tan and provides it to his working girls and their customers. The idea was to simply increase business by having hornier customers and more authentic product. It worked for a while, and then girls started taking larger doses and giving customers larger doses. They began leaving and running off with customers - some after a single contact with the customer.

>If a person takes a large dose of the Tan and has the misfortune to have no partner at the time, then truly terrible things happen. A number of men, and women, have molested strangers after massive doses of the pure product (which is why I no longer provide it to anyone other than trusted friends - everything else is cut 50 to one). Twice, users on large doses have tried to molest my dogs.

>I have distributed over 3,000 doses exclusively in this country. They call it SPT (I named it) and it is a seriously hot underground topic here. I know of at least a dozen people who spend virtually full time playing with this, and hundreds trying to get samples, which I dole out with meticulous care. Anyone caught sharing this with another without my consent doesn't get any more.

> I have photos of the boss fucking dogs in my safe at home. I think my job is secure.

That link you posted is WILD. Holy shit if half of everything there is true, that's still super fucked up

Doesn't that quote seem odd to anyone else? I wouldn't think he had a "boss" any more being a multi-millionaire. He was certainly an odd fellow, but I wonder how much we know about the provenance of these random forum threads.

One does not come to a new country out of the blue and become a drug dealer boss
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by Natsu on Thursday June 24, 2021 @02:57PM (#27622298)
True, but it doesn't sound like he was working for anyone most of the time, he was just making some stuff for personal consumption and/or for the local brothel owner.

So I'm really confused as to why he was working a job or had a boss with all that money when it seemed like he was just experimenting with drugs and hookers.

And even then, how do we know that any of these random forum posts are even legit? It certainly seems possible--he wasn't the most stable individual--but I hate to just blindly trust something I read on an internet forum that gives me no realistic way to validate that any of this is from him.

He is the boss? Referencing himself? Ha

That would be a very crackheaded thing to do, taking pictures to blackmail yourself for having sex with a dog.

He's just messing around. Having fun. It was a joke.

So he discovered super viagra? Maybe it was some phizer executive who got him done in.

All jokes aside though rip, McAfee was a really colorful character and strangely inspiring in some ways, it's unfortunate he got himself stuck in a dark place

Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by Time_Ad_76 on Sunday June 27, 2021 @07:21PM (#27656410)
This is a common misconception about Viagra and similar drugs. They aren't aphrodisiacs (i.e. they don't make you horny). What they do is affect blood flow.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by Tenoke on Thursday June 24, 2021 @05:38AM (#27615542)
That reads very wild but also he is clearly exaggerating. Even just processing MDVP a little and turning it into what he is describing is questionable but then doing the same with Salvia (a pretty non-sexual drug) and making an even more hypersexual new substance is hard to believe.

I suspect none that actually exist or have that effect.

Honestly, it amazes me how frequently people forget that people can lie.

He stated he made up the superdrug on his loggiaonfire site a few years ago to fuck with people & send them on a wild goose chase. The specificly colored artificial drug at least, which he had claimed was the perfect synthesis vs the other colors or w/e

Even more specifically, recognizing when a public figure is just messing with the interviewer/audience seems to be a rare talent.

According to the linked post, Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) aka bath salts.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by piva00 on Wednesday June 23, 2021 @08:53PM (#27612566)
In more recent articles about it it seems to be a variation of alpha-PVP (flakka), something called alpha-PHP that is outside of any schedule for drugs. Basically a designer cathinone that is (or was) still legal.

He wasn't totally certain exactly what he'd made, afaik; his neighbor troubles coincided with efforts to get a real chemist to assist him in identifying what he was producing and stabilizing his method.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by poisonarena on Thursday June 24, 2021 @01:25AM (#27614245)
I smoked alpha pvp in a transit home in Saint Petersburg with some Georgian immigrants thinking it was meth, It made me really really high, and I spent the whole next day crying. I suspect this is a pretty popular drug in Russia.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by blacklion on Thursday June 24, 2021 @07:53AM (#27616270)
Unfortunately, yes. I lost friend to it ("alpha"). He is technically alive, but with completely ruined physics. I've thought, that only opiates could be so destructive, oh, man, I was wrong :-(
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by lasc4r on Thursday June 24, 2021 @02:34AM (#27614581)
I suspect all of the drugs are pretty popular in Russia.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by SergeAx on Thursday June 24, 2021 @09:15AM (#27616950)
The most popular drug in Russia is still alcohol.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by golergka on Thursday June 24, 2021 @09:27AM (#27617067)
Nah. Half of all drugs sold on Hudra are mephedrone and alpha-pvp; even weed doesn't compare.
Re:John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approv... by bufferoverflow on Thursday June 24, 2021 @06:39AM (#27615878)
Don't do PHP, folks.

Presumably the one he had in Belize on the north end of Ambergris Caye.
