McAfee told Wired Magazine in 2012 that his father, a heavy drinker and “very unhappy man,” shot himself when McAfee was 15. “Every day I wake up with him,” he told Wired.
He lived for a time in Lexington, Tennessee, a rural town of about 7,800 some 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Memphis. In a 2015 interview with WBBJ-TV, McAfee said he only felt comfortable when armed. The TV station reported that he chose to be interviewed with a loaded gun in each hand.
“Very little gives me a feeling of being safe and more secure other than being armed in my bedroom with the door locked,” McAfee told the station.
Sounds like he was born with mental health problems that were most likely exacerbated by years of drug abuse.
His pinned tweet makes it sound like he knew what was coming, and he's trying to absolve his associates of potential incriminations:

The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association.
I have nothing.
Yet, I regret nothing.
I have nothing.
Yet, I regret nothing.
This would have been a great opportunity for him to say that being a swindling con artist is bad and we shouldn't do it in the name of having a society and the golden rule, but oh well.
Well one thing is for sure: no one can accuse him of being a pussy.
