People ask, from time to time, about my doubles. Meet James Corwell, retiring today. We have been virtually interchangeable for going on 31 years. Be well my good friend. And I will never forget your night in a Mexican jail as me. It saved my life. https://t.co/PAxLhI3osg

@thejosephshanks Google it. The night of my escape from Belize in November 2012.
Google the arrest of "John McAfee", aka James Corwell, the night of my escape from Belize in November of 2012, you will understand the debt that I will always owe to this man. Balls of titanium. The heart of a lion. And friendship worthy of a wolf.
@belizemarc I remember them shutting down all telecommunications in Belize the day I escaped.
@OlexKP No clue. Not my film. I think Paramount is producing it.
@pepeMck Also: https://t.co/1mxefD5Ita
Can no-one Google anymore?? :) Ok .... For those dozens who could find nothing: https://t.co/oxcSqmHxzT
In Mexico, he hung around that day, with a man by his side (paid) until he saw a police truck coming. As they caught his eye, he bolted off, knocking down the man. He was obviously chased and caught. When caught, he said: "I'm John McAfee. Please don't torture me." Simple.
@_madbot_ I've never been faithful.
@haywudjeblome :) You should try wearing my shoes.
@cryptodotbi Of course not! The eyes of the world watched. I called the New York Times and reported my arrest in Mexico one hour before it happened. Hundreds of Journalists were en-route. James was untouchable. The "don't hurt me" ruse was simply a reason for me to blurt out my identity.
@barefootprods I cannot advise you. SEC rules:(
@JohnKale420 It did????? Fuck me!! Who said it???
@Gavin89 Hard work. Committment. Perserverence. Loyalty. With that alone anyone can claim that title. Or .... If you have cash, and are willing to wait a month until I subjugate some small country, I would be happy to call you whatever you like. You get a piece of referrals too:)
@IsraelAscencio4 Absolutely. Read the story.
@halfdeadmcafee @theemrsmcafee Ooohhhhu.... You scare me. Move out of your mother's basement kid!
@cryptobopulos Well. Few. You are one of the few who care enough to send me Gifs. Thank you.
@Danblockchain1 Happened twice already.
@Memefreeisway2b I smoke 3 to four packs of cigarettes a day, drink at least one bottle of whiskey, and take as much illegal drugs as I can. My family has always claimed that the regimen above is the only cure for aging.
@halfdeadmcafee @CIA Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever alerts their target that they are coming to get them. I know. I've had hundreds after me. Are you an idiot? You obviously can't do Jack shit so just keep quiet on my page or make up a new identity every day and continue your aimless life.
@glowingbubs Yes
@oilfielder1 That was to be the reason for admitting to being me. People don't just blurt out their identities if they are on the run. Unless they are scared.
@cryptoveteran21 I have 7.
