Software company founder John McAfee was hospitalized Thursday after being denied political asylum in Guatemala and his lawyers said they were making a last-ditch effort to keep him from being flown back to Belize for questioning about the killing of a fellow American expatriate.

McAfee told The Associated Press that he had suffered chest pains overnight but didn't believe he had suffered a heart attack. A government doctor who examined him agreed, saying McAfee's heart rhythm and blood pressure were normal, and he appeared to be suffering from high stress.

McAfee was moved from an immigration centre to a police-run hospital Thursday afternoon after Guatemalan authorities said McAfee's request for asylum had been denied. They did not explain why. Shortly after the decision was announced, McAfee issued a plea on his blog for the public to petition Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina to let him stay.

There's a link to e-mail the Guatemalan President to petition him to grant asylum.
 
I wish him the best of luck. I never really noticed him around here when he was posting. But I just read through his famous thread, and I must say I am impressed with the man. Not nescessarily on any particular level, except his unmoveable conviction to recreate the original "tan MDPV". Which apparently he succeeded at; something which nobody else could figure out.

Having tried the original "tan MDPV" and subsequent "white MDPV" I have always been 100% convinced they were not even the same chemical, so this was fairly interesting to me. Not that I have desire for such things anymore.

In any case I think it's lame for any of us to point the finger at this man.. just because he was famous, or took things too far, or his lifestyle was kind of extreme. In essence, he is still one of us.
 
^ yah but he is also batshit crazy... i watched the interview he did "in secret" with cnn

He does not know how to keep a low profile at all but that is old news.

He didn't have any heart attacks at all.

Software guru McAfee did not have heart attack: lawyer

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Software pioneer John McAfee did not have a heart attack in Guatemala as originally thought, but is suffering from stress and hypertension, his lawyer Telesforo Guerra said on Thursday.

"He never had a heart attack. Nothing like that," Guerra said in Guatemala City. "I'm not a doctor. I'm just telling you what the doctors told me. He was suffering from stress, hypertension and tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heartbeat)."

I think he said all of that was part of a bet. He didn't believe the tan PV existed and made a bet with a friend he could make a thread and get 1000 posts..

But he could just be trying to cover for his drug abuse :\
 
Duh, you think? It was no bet. I had a bit of correspondence with this dude, both on bluelight pointing out how he did not create the "tan", and that MDPV psychosis seemed to have convinced him he had, and off of BL later Kept up correspondence spradically, and then a brief bout again the last few weeks, but of a diiferent tenor, basically telling me to fuck off and stay away from his blog. He did not make "tan". His posts were sincere, no bet involved, and wisely he is trying to distance himself from the "bath salts" frenzy as that doesn't look good when you are a POI in a high profile murder trial.

I think abusing MDPV at the rate this guy has for the last 3 years (all signs are there, and it is the central tenant that this bizarre case revolves around) one wouldn't feel so good coming off. Hence the "heart attack". Or imbibing one last mega dose before going in, and yes, tachychardia and hypertension sounds about right. He has been on PV, day in and day out, for some time, according to some inside info.

Makes for great entertainment. Save for the murder. Hard to find that one funny in most circumstances. Most. . . .
