Sasha was a responsible scientist with a stable life.

McAfee is someone who kept a minor girlfriend, fled Belize after being implicated in the murder of his neighbor and spent most of his time down there booty bumping bath salts.

For some perspective.

source?

Having lived in Cambodia (nowhere near as dangerous as Belize, but probably just as corrupt), being implicated with a crime you didn't commit isn't the most far fetched thing.

India is exactly the same, for its much hyped democracy, it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Recently there is a trend for implicating husbands and relatives in criminal cases just because the wife didn't get along. All interested parties including lawyers, judges, police get involved for financial gain.

It is the same in USA. Every "decent" divorce lawyer's first step is for the wife to whack herself on the face, call the police, and get the husband kicked out of the house. The cops don't like it, but they have to take the report. Sometimes they have enough spine to not arrest the dude.

Yeah this too. Family court is the biggest racket going now.

No, it's not exactly the same. The "much hyped" democracy works. Frauds are everywhere, no surprises there.

Going by forum posts McAfee made—it's questionable whether or not he was trolling (he was for sure at one point wrt bath salts) but it's also somewhat likely he's into stimulants and sex.

Like every single other human being on this planet. It's a feature of our brains.

I still don't understand what's the reason to treat McAfee as extremely unreliable. Could someone state the reasons explicitly?

In my experience, most of us don't move down to Belize to manufacture research chemicals and fuck underage women then get implicated in a murder all while being investigated for tax evasion.

There's a phrase I'm never going to google. I'm happily ignorant.

Well MDPV mostly, and he is somewhat professional about it
