“Gringo” also asserts that McAfee had David Middleton, a man suspected of robbing his home, abducted by hired thugs and repeatedly stabbed and tasered.
Faull was a neighbor who’d had several real run-ins with McAfee over how the tech tycoon allowed his dogs to freely roam the neighborhood and beaches.īut that’s not all. Over the course of her 90-minute film, Burstein lays out evidence that suggests McAfee paid a hitman $5,000 to torture and kill American expat Greg Faull in Belize. “… We discovered all this surprising stuff that I had absolutely no idea about.” “I knew some things (from prior news stories and profiles), but as I got more into it was all, quite frankly, very shocking to me,” Burstein says in a phone conversation. But once she began communicating with residents, she realized there was much more to the story. Last year, Burstein traveled to Belize expecting to do some kind of “character study” on McAfee. It led to increasingly villainous actions, including rape and murder. Relying on the testimony of McAfee’s former friends, employees and colleagues, Burstein asserts that, while living in the tropical paradise, the man who made his fortune in Silicon Valley became unhinged from reality. Even if you already have some knowledge of McAfee’s sordid misadventures during his off-the-grid years in Belize, you’re likely to watch in drop-jawed astonishment.
