What did he die of? A virus maybe?
Really really strange, interesting man.
This is all I know about him which makes the news sad but perhaps a fitting end.
Beaten to it. A curious fellow.
Tony Stark from the movies seems to be based on JM.
I thought the conspiracy theorists were completely crazy, but that tattoo ...
Worked for NASA as a programmer, worked for Lockheed Martin as a programmer, quit and moved to Belize, Tried to start his own paramilitary police, convinced the 18 year old assassin sent to kill him that she was his girlfriend now, also wrote antivirus.
He also married a hooker and had sex with an actual whale. But the craziest thing he did was run for the nomination for the Libertarian Party. He came in second place.
He needs another reading of The Compleat Angler.
I had him pegged as eccentric (ie arsehole) billionaire. Until reading the Register profile I hadn't realised he was a likely rapist, murderer and Epstein type.
RIP John.
I liked and admired him.

I would have googled him but (yet again) McAfee Endpoint has caused my computer to freeze…
Tragic but fascinating story. Wonder what the film will be like?

There's already a documentary, where he comes across as a needy aggressive narcissistic bully. there's a telling bit when he gets stopped by a couple of cops and has a Ronnie Pickering moment when they don't know who he is, and he doesn't want to believe that they just may never have heard of him.
My admiration is based on what he did for bitcoin, including a promise to chop his dick off on live TV if it didn't hit a million dollars.
No idea about his other activities being quoted here.

The scene where he hires prostitutes to sit in a specially modified hammock and shit in his mouth is going to be WILD.

Well that's much better. 😂
I wonder if the Spanish police will need to use a special tool to fully remove him from the jail cell?

What is the link between narcissitic billionaires and poo/pee fetishes? Or am I too naive and "vanilla"

Private boarding schools, I think we decided on the Tory MPs thread.
I had no idea about the guy's life, certainly a controversial character

From what I've read since hearing about his death he was brought up in abusive household. His father was an abusive alcoholic, he best John’s mother. As often the case it meant John seems to have has similar traits and lived a self destructive life.
