A reader asked me to look at John McAfee’s interview to see what I saw.

I see a troubled man.

When John McAfee is asked, “You are John McAfee?” he thinks for a minute!  That is really bizarre.  Then he shrugs his shoulders–an expression of doubt–as he says, “I think so, yes….I am John McAfee.”  That’s either a huge red flag that he is being deceptive, or the man I am looking at it is suffering from some mental confusion or disorder, which in this case cannot be ruled out.

By looking at his face, I seriously wonder if it is the latter.

When John is asked if he is afraid, his face is as neutral as can be. This is another odd variable to his interview. Is he not expressing fear because his demons aren’t flaring now?  You can’t help but wonder.

After seeing this video, I wanted to see other news reports. Are there signs of mental disorder, delusion, etc. that can be gleaned from other interviews?  I set out to read more, and what I found did not surprise me.

The answer is yes. It does appear John is suffering from some mental affliction, and his story is absolutely inconsistent along with his behavior. You don’t even need me to tell you.  I can understand why police would want to interview him.

His behaviors are more supportive that he is a man who could snap under pressure.

Wired: John McAfee Unhinged

I do think he is volatile and anyone who finds him should take serious precautions to protect themselves.
