John McAfee's Paranoia and Mind Games

This guy was a genius. He put me through tests.

What kind of tests?

Uh, he put the, the very first night,

um, remember they're, they're, they're moving around,

they're playing this crypto

market, talking about making money with their

pistols on, drinking,

it's loud.

Who are these other guys?

Some of them are e- e- ex-Green Berets, Rangers.

Uh, i-

i- I think maybe a couple of them lied about

their, their background.

Um, they said they were whatever, and I was like, "Yeah, okay."

And they don't know who I am, and John McAfee texts me on my phone

and says, "Hey,

you're the only one I trust." Even if it's not true, he texts me,

"You're the only

one I trust. I don't trust anybody.

I don't even trust my own wife, Janice." He goes, "Um, uh,

I need you to be

my eyes and ears." And that's what he tells me outside as

well.

Well, that night

I wake up, and I go to bed with my pistol on my side

right here.

Not my finger on the trigger, but on my, with my, loosely holding this, that

.40 Shield. And I wake up, and I see this, like,

demon standing over me, like on the bed, and it's John McAfee

staring down on me, straddle me with his feet on the

bed, and I'm, like, sunken in.

What the hell?

Yeah, and he's like, he's, like, looking down at me, and I have my,

and I have that

gun, and I point it at him like, "I'm gonna kill this guy." And he's like,

"Are

you with me, son? Are you with me?" And I'm like, "I'm with you, sir."

He goes, "Let's go." He jumped off the bed.

We went upstairs.

We stare out this, this glass, this, at this window at night,

and we're staring out into the night, and there's, um...

He says, "Do you see it?" And everybody's like, "Where? Where?

Where?" And he's got binoculars at night,

uh, and he's just, we're staring there for, like, you know,

the snipers, you can

sit there behind glass forever, but it's, it's freaking boring,

terribly boring. And, uh, but John McAfee, he says, "Do you

see it?" to a guy. And this guy was an ex-Ranger or

whatever. He grabbed the binoculars, and he looked. He goes, "Yeah, yeah,

I see it.

It's flashing lights." John McAfee says, "You see it, right?" "Yeah, it's flashing

lights."

And he goes, "I see it." And then John McAfee looks at me,

and he goes, "Take a

look. You see 'em?" And I'm looking, and I can't see anything, Sean.

And I, and I just, I know that nothing's there,

and, but everything in my body tells me, "Just say, 'Yeah.

Yeah, I see the lights too.'" You know what I

mean?

Because you could tell guys were playing off of his paranoia,

his paranoia.

And man,

I thought, "You know what? I'm gonna get fired, but I'm,

I'm just gonna tell the

truth. I'm just gonna be straight up." And so I just straight up was like, "Sir,

I believe you, but I don't see lights.

I don't." And he was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?

Are you fuck..." He goes, "They're right there." And I said, "Sir,

I know.

I, I just don't see them." The next day he

comes out with an envelope of

cash. I can see envelope in the opening, and I know that it's for me, to

fire me. He, he, because I know I'm done after that,

'cause it's real awkward.

He walks outside,

he hands me this envelope of cash, and he goes, "Go give this to

that guy that

said there was a light out there last night." He goes, "Go fire him." He goes,

"There was no light." He goes, "Good job." He walked back in.

And I knew right then and there he was playing

major head games

with everybody.
