belize, mcafee said authorities there were trying to pin on him. and a daring escape from that country that might make vladimir putin proud, because putin is dog his best to keep snowden from getting back to the u.s., and mcafee did all he could to ge back to the u.s., from fleeing guatemalla. and throughout mcafee has insisted he is no murderer, where snowden insists he is no spy. that is where it ends. >> my name is john mcafee, i am the founder of the mcafee

anirus company, although i have hadothing to to with this company for 15 years, i still have volumes of mail asking how do i uninstill this software, i have no idea i know what to do, believe me -- i've got the solution right he here. neil: tophat snowden. the read on a man on the run from a man who stopped running but has not stopped talking about a company heounded that has all but turned on him, and a corrupt government he says has done going they could to try to

destroy him, w have heard about what john mcafee d from them, now we hear from john mcafee says he did. happyo you have. >> hap to be here. neil: video first, abou what mao you that. >> the press pinned a number of labels on me, they seemed to be sticking, why not lampoon them myself. >> was were the labels? >> well, a lot of things, number one, i surrounded myself with guns, surrounded myself with women. i was paranoid. i -- tt paranoid rant that you took 3 or 4 seconds on. that i did bath salt, on the desk i had two boxes labeled with bath saltsnd snorts them with my full fairs toward the end, i enjoy making fun of myself as much as anything. neil: all right but you are not just anybody, before we get to

stuff happened in last year, let's talk about what you built, what you starred mcafee, antivirus power house, something you founded and created, now you put out a video,hat inntructs people how to remove the program from computers, why did you do that? >> okay, one of the things that became apparent during the news blitz in december, january, and february, was that all internet storiesha had comment allowed over half of them said things like, i wish they would hang this man for making such terrible sort o software, but ie not had anything to do with company for 15 year or qualtie of the software, i thought okay, let me tell you, i had nothing to do wit it if you don't like it, here is how you unitall it. neil: do you not like mcafee software today? >> i do not use any antiviru

sort of wear, neither mcafee or norton or anyone, i practice safe compung. neil: the company has gone a long way from the days y founded it. >> it did. i had the company, i owned 87% of the world marke for antivirus sort of wear, everyone loved it it has changed >> okay. in our heyday the talk is you were worth north of $100 million maybe $200 million, was that true? what are you worth now? >> well, first of all, what a you worth now, sir? >> i think 28.48 that isbout right. >> i think i ambout the same. neil: really, so you, you -- lost a lot. >> no, i am not saying i lost it, i have not, i a saying it is my business, and not that question is rude, i would not ca you rude, sir, but i tend not on afternooner -- answer those questions.

neil: that is fair, i guess i ask at risk of sounding rude, a lot of people, a lot of people called you tony stark character, the ironman character on which that ewell b!elaborate downey bs titan, playboy if you will, is that true? >> they called my that. they have called me the tony stark of the cyber world. whether it is true or not, i am just who i am. i live my life. i say what i want to say. to what i want to do. neil: so, when it com to money issue, at the risk of pushing this too extreme tony stark loses a fortune, getting it back, presumably the talk is you lost a fortune, got a lot back, coming your way back downith a book, movies, that -- could be features you, making you the subject, that seems look a guy

very much back in the game? >> i don't think that i ever really left the game, m game has changed. it no secret as a very young man, i was making money from selling drugs in mexico, thank god i am not doing that any more. i made a forne lost a fortune more times than i can count, money is easy to make, sir, simplistthing in the world to make, keeping the money is always the problem. ne: very wel put, keeping it a problem. let's twitch to ed snowden if you don't mind, i want to talk about him. there is a lot of talk whether he is a hack or a hero, what do you think? >> depends on which perspective you want to look at mr. snowden, from my perspectivei think he revealed something we all knew. we're being spied on by our governnt, duh, who does not know that? simply tt mr. snowed knoways

that put a quantitative value it and given the means, some of the means of how the spyinakes place, to that extent he is a hero in telling us we already knew, making us face the fact, u.s. government does not coider him a hero, vladimir putin, chinese government, i think they both csider him heroes. neil he started the intent of geing this information with booz allen. and then selling it. yyu too worked at booza allen what do you make of it. >> i worked at booz allen from 1980o 1982. i do not work for them to be a spy, they are a software management firm, the job is cushy and they pay you well. th are one of top 3 consulting

firms. so, itf the government wants high quality tech talent they go to one of those firms. great job, and i don't know whether snowden started at booz allen with intent of spying or t, i have no information on, that but that is a great mpany, and flew that relationship -- through that relationship he was able to get access to information that most of us cannot get access to. neil: he said that was his goal, his wordss to your point, what he did it good but intentions are to be deded ? >> any disclosure of any information is good. why should we be kept in the dark on anything, goodd lord we're all adults, i want to know what is happening in my world, otherwise i am in the dk, and bumping into things so are you and we all, to that'sorrect

tent, l'sind out what the world is all abou,hat isur government doing? down you want to know, people? i do. so to that, i back him. i also back his bls, if i can say that on fox. fox. please. >> i am behind his courage, he as the courageo something knowing i rks now on the run. having been on the run many times in my life, the first many times when i was in mex mix, mexico, and last in belize, i know how difficult and frightening that can be, the man is half mm age, if he were hire here, i think d give him good advice. neil: wha would you tell him? >> stay in hong kong. bakalies, you can disappear in the back allies of hodge continental, chineseovernment has no interest inracking him down, neither will they

cooperate with american agency. neil: you don't think that chinese would have intest in a t of stuff he knows. >> they would, but, you know unlike the russians, i don't think that chinese would be very hank onim, maybe -- harsh on him, maybe they would detainim for a while, chinese is -- what is theord? they make good hosts, okay. anif you are a guest in their country, you can live fairly well. and i am not dissing america, and not trying to get the man illegal advice, i am saying that had it been me, i would have stays in hong kong. neil: now, before we go to break, one thing that come up with him, john is, that if he were a genuine whistle-blower, it was a move to not be a whistlistle-blower a do good but get out of the country do bad, there is a procedure for going tourigher ups or inspector

general, hemmediately went to hong kong that means to some people w don't like him very much, he is a spy, and had spy intents, what do you say? >>ell, you know, having dealt with differents, i think all governments are the same, they do not have much of a heart, sir. human beings have hearts, you can talk to a human, say, here is the situation i'm in what would you do, they would say, hey, i would run. you know, i am not in his shoes, sir, i can't justify or cast aspeions on his decisions, i know from my experience what bell izian government would want me to do is my death, i chose to go underground. neil::all right, if you can stick around, we'll get into, that about what did happen in bellize, and what led to like a jamesond-like saga on his part jamesond-like saga on his part to

there is a pursuit we all share. a better life for your family, a tter opportunity for your business, a better legacy to leave the world. riving to bring insight ved to every investment, and integrity to every plan. we are morgan stanley. and we're rey to work for you. neil: all right the saga that drew internation attention, john mcafee. caught up in what belize government sai was a murder, in ich he was not necessarily a

suspect but he was clearly being fingered, a neighbor of john's whoever found dead. they say to this day you were not the murderer but they sure made it look that way. >> the -- government at no point, charged me with murder. they questioned all of my neighbors, they wanted to question me. i had a running battle with the government since the day they stormed my property 6 months earlier with 42 armed soldiers, shot my dog, handcuffed my, kept me in the sun for 14 hours, and released me with no charges. neil: why did they do that at the time. this is before the murder. but why? >> well, i made a mtake of moving to a district in belize, the poorest. average salary is or 6 dollars a day.
