Exclusive: John McAfee vows to make Internet 'impossible to hack' in Silicon Valley return
Posted on Tuesday, September 24, 2013

Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee, who buried himself in the sand to hide from police in Belize, faked a heart attack in a Guatemalan detention center and admits playing the "crazy card," says he's now ready for his next adventure: a return to Silicon Valley.

At age 67, McAfee is promising to launch a new cybersecurity company that will make the Internet safer for everyone.

"My new technology is going to provide a new type of Internet, a decentralized, floating and moving Internet that is impossible to hack, impossible to penetrate and vastly superior in terms of its facility and neutrality. It solves all of our security concerns," McAfee said in an interview with the San Jose Mercury News.

Despite his colorful lifestyle and his even more colorful recent history, McAfee remains one of the most prominent entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley history. In 1989 he founded the anti-virus software company in Santa Clara, Calif., that still bears his name and once was worth an estimated $100 million. In 1994, McAfee ended his relationship with the company and moved to Colorado.

Then again, I've been saying that about Roman Polanski for 40 years. Money can buy anything.
