I agree, it's good to hear another human wasn't killed. Death is sad.
Though I'd rather not see his exploits on HN. I feel like I'm stuck reading this man's life-as-opera. "He's a criminal" "He's a smuggler" "He's an antivirus genius" "He's dead" "He's feeling better". What's next with this romance? Will we start hearing "He paints" "He owns llamas"?
So much of this man's activities in life aren't relevant to my own. Drama doesn't belong on HN's front page.

I have no idea whether he really is, but all I read about this situation makes McAfee seem more and more like a crackpot. I can't say I've cared about his company's products for a long time and the man doing a Richard Kimble while nothing has been proven either way is just meh.
Kimble is dislikeable, but not without some charms (mostly in how he charms others), his rap-video obsessions are different from McAfee in that Kimble is interested in how others perceive him versus McAfee who is living the starker real-life version of the glamour.
Heh -- the parent was referring to Richard Kimble, protagonist of "The Fugitive" (I'll wait while you Google it), not Kim Dotcom. While there are some commonalities, R. Kimble was an upstanding medical doctor who, I'm pretty sure, never rapped ...
Really? I mean, that's what he says to us. With the media attention on him and this case, I would think he'd be protected from the worst of what he claims would be police abuse.
Unless, you know, he's guilty as hell. You're basing your knowledge of this incident upon his own version of events.
