According to Gizmodo, the popular gadgets website, the two men had been at odds for some time and Faull filed a complaint against McAfee claiming he fired guns and exhibited "roguish behavior."

McAfee moved to Belize in 2008 after his computer software company suffered setbacks – as of 2009 its worth had plummeted from $100 million to $4 million, the MailOnline reported.

He later started an antibiotics company in the Central American county, but that venture fell apart when he was arrested for allegedly harboring illegal drugs and weapons and running a crystal meth lab. McAfee claimed he was arrested for refusing to donate money to a local politician.
