The 90-minute-long film launched on the streaming site on Wednesday 24th August, and follows the life of the technology tycoon as he went on the run after his neighbour in Belize, Gregory \u2018Greg\u2019 Faull, was murdered.<\/p>\n
McAfee was a person of interest in the crime and went on the run to Guatemala after Faull was found.<\/p>\n
So what exactly happened? And was John McAfee<\/a> ever charged for Gregory Faull\u2019s murder?<\/p>\n As the documentary airs on Netflix, here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n Gregory Faull was a Navy veteran, construction entrepreneur, restaurateur and John McAfee\u2019s neighbour. A father, son and brother, Faull lived a pretty full life.<\/p>\n In 2012, however, he was murdered at his San Pedro town holiday home on the Belizean island of Ambergis Caye.<\/p>\n According to reports, his passing came after complaining about McAfee\u2019s dogs, with McAfee claiming that he had poisoned them.<\/p>\n Faull\u2019s official autopsy (conducted on November 13) confirmed his exact cause of death to be \u201cbrain damage due to injuries sustained from a gunshot wound to the head\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n As there were no signs of forced entry, officials ruled out the theory of a robbery when it came to Gregory\u2019s murder. After hearing about McAfee and Faull\u2019s ongoing feud, they approached the tech tycoon for questioning, however, he was nowhere to be found at the time.<\/p>\n McAfee soon became a \u201cperson of interest\u201d in the crime and subsequently went on the run. McAfee alleged that he fled Belize under the belief that he would be tortured or even murdered for being a suspect in the case.<\/p>\n Despite being ordered to pay $25 million in a wrongful death claim, McAfee was never actually charged with any crime in the country in connection with Faull\u2019s death.<\/p>\n McAfee always maintained his innocence in connection to the actual murder. However, Faull\u2019s family believed that McAfee had hired a local<\/span> to have Faull killed and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him in the United States.<\/span><\/p> A judge ruled that McAfee pay Faull\u2019s estate more than $25 million \u2013 $20 million in damages, $5 million in compensation for emotional distress, and $8,400 in funeral costs \u2013 although McAfee didn\u2019t comply. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was never charged with murder by Belizean authorities or any other authority. It was a suit based entirely on media reporting,\u201d McAfee stated at the time, as he claimed he couldn\u2019t pay the requested amount because<\/span> he didn\u2019t have any assets or funds under his name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In 2020, McAfee was arrested for and accused of failing to file tax returns for four years and was due to be extradited to the US to face tax evasion charges, before his passing in June 2021.<\/p>\n Faull\u2019s case remains officially unsolved.<\/p>\n Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee is available to stream on Netflix. <\/strong>The Man Who Hacked the World: A Ghostwriter\u2019s Descent into Madness with John McAfee is\u00a0available to pre-order on Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Read more of our\u00a0Documentaries<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what else is on.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
