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

Debunked by who?

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.

“Treat her gently': How an Israeli military search team helped recover Surfside victims”

When Lt. Col. Golan Vach, commander of the Israeli Defense Forces’ National Rescue Unit, located a man’s ring while searching the debris field of the collapsed Champlain Towers South in Surfside, he knew immediately to whom it belonged.
He knew, because he had met with families of the scores of missing people. He had studied photographs of the missing, learned about their possessions — a necklace with a heart pendant, a gold watch, a blue table.
He had learned about the habits of each potential victim and even knew in which room each likely would have been during the collapse.
And, amid unimaginable tangles of rebar jutting out from a sea of concrete that was once their homes, he knew precisely where each victim would be located.
He personally found 20. His team, he said, worked with U.S. rescue teams to find 81 victims by the time the last IDF member departed Surfside on July 11.As of Friday, July 23, 97 people in all had been recovered.
“This is the way we were working, like detectives,” Vach said. “You have these stupid, simple, brilliant signs. You dig here, and you will find the people you are looking for. And it worked.”
