"I've never seen myself walking around shirtless carrying a shotgun, what an absurd thing to do," McAfee said. "… I would walk around armed, but mostly with a pistol in a holster and wearing clothes for god sake."

McAfee is best known for developing anti-piracy software in the 1980s and helping to pioneer instant messaging in the 1990s. He sold his shares in the software company that bears his name in 1994 and pocketed $100 million. After losing all but $4 million of his fortune, he moved to Belize five years ago.
