I've read his posts. They are entertaining, but they are nothing like ramblings of someone with an unravelling mind.

Do you find it easier to believe now that he has admitted the coordinates were correct and the image was real, and has deleted his earlier "apology" in which he claimed to have faked the EXIF? Or do you still think the "contrast on his skin" points to a greater conspiracy?
By the way, how long have you been an expert on the Belizean justice system?
As for the photo looking fake, I'm not the first to notice the image looks a little unbelievable. Look at the contrast on his skin; tricky shadows from lighting interference or something else at play? The photo looks like it was taken using a 0.8 megapixel webcam on a laptop from 1999.
And fair enough about the EXIF data, however I find it hard to believe that a "security expert" like John McAfee would make such an amateur mistake like letting an image with location identifying data be put up online. John obviously needs some psychiatric help, the dude is obviously deteriorating if you read his posts they're sounding more and more like ramblings of someone with an unravelling mind.
