"Wildcard" indeed
McAfee and RMS are constantly trading places at #1 and #2 in the list of strange public figures in the tech industry.
In McAfee's case, I guess it's partially due to the fact that he probably has more money than he could ever use in a lifetime. It's really strange how never having to worry about money changes the calculus on people's actions. That said, you see lottery winners who manage to blow through $150 million and celebrities/athletes who end up broke a few years after their prime. I've always wondered where all the money goes, especially in the extreme cases. There are only so many luxury goods, houses and cars one can buy.
That said, anyone at AM who can be social-engineered after all this mess is a complete idiot. Who gives their password to anyone??
