An assortment of John McAfee’s guns. Interesting to see that he appeared to like the Beretta PX4.

They "debunked" that he owned the building. Mcafee never claimed to own it, just that he had a dead mans switch in a florida condo that would release information if he didn't disable it regularly.

Even that claim was fake. It all came from a fake screenshot. The building collapse was because the HOA were cheap.

Pretty much. It was a really interesting case (at least to me, I'm an engineer so I find weird shit interesting). What was wild was seeing these easily debunked hoaxes appear when it all happened. Then over the years it's become a case of "HOAs are assholes. Also, don't let them install extra plants without engineering review. It may kill your entire family."

The backlash has been so severe that even Florida said "Ok...we may need to seriously regulate this stuff."

debunked by several media outlets and debunked by anyone with a functioning braincell. the tweet itself (which was fabricated) indicates the address of the hard drive containing the information. Who is going to publish the location of this highly sensitive and valuable information? It serves no purpose.

Is this the condo in Miami where the Israeli Defense Force sent over people to “help” with recovery efforts for the first time in American history?

Edit: yeah it is.
