John McAfee, former founder of McAfee Antivirus Software, was reportedly arrested in Germany for making an unwelcome fashion statement with his face cover when he wore a woman’s thong – instead of a face mask – over his head.
McAfee tweeted out on Monday that he had been detained because he wouldn’t put on a medically certified mask instead of the thong.
He wrote: “Visited Catalonia just before Europe banned Catalonians from travelling. Tried to return to Germany and were refused entrance. They demanded we wear masks. I put on my thong mask. They demanded I replace it. I refused. Tussle. Jail. Black eye. Released.”
I was jailed:
Why?

“Trivial issue but waiting for high level beaurocrats [sic] to arrive. Slow bastards, as you know,” he wrote while the issue was unfolding. “My Coronavirus mask is the problem. I am insisting it is the safest available and I’m refusing to wear anything else — for my health’s sake. Authority!?!?!?!?” he continued.
“Going to have to cancel the Red Scarf Society meeting. I am so sorry. Note to future adventurers: Always joke with you [sic] captors. No matter what,” he concluded.
Then, his wife said she would take over his account “until John escapes (usual method), bribes someone (very quick – might be out in a few hours), retains the right lawyer (will be a few days) or becomes warden of the jail, in which case we will have to force him out.”
His wife, Janice, continued: “He was not arrested for wearing the thong as a mask. He was arrested for refusing to replace it with a ‘medically certified’ over the ear mask. I refused as well. But they chose to arrest John, and leave me be.”
She later left on a private jet back to Munich without John.
“I’m following John’s instructions and heading back. He assured me he would be released,” she later said. In a Tweet later in the day McAfee said he was “back in Belarus” and commented:
“I cannot speak publicly about my fun and games yesterday, regrettably, but after a few hours sleep I will be back with my usual stream of conscious [sic],” he added.
Godspeed, John. Godspeed.

Apparently McAfee has admitted it was a hoax.

I expect this level of troll from John McAfee, even if it’s a hoax.
McAfee is known for his shitty bedroom behavior and unspeakables.
At least he doesn’t have multiple 15 year-old wives and pretends it’s all right because he’s one of God’s apostles and puts on a clean pair of magic underwear each day.
I’m guessing either Bill Clinton or mormons?
Bill Clinton wears blue dresses and at least he didn’t claim to talk to the angels.
still better than marrying a jogger. as a billionaire
Sure looks like many of the masks I have seen people wearing.
My daughter has to wear a mask at work and they provide them. On the side of the mask box, it states that the mask won’t stop viruses.
Reading means you don’t care about others.
Who hasn’t? I mean the wearing, not the being arrested. Likely not very many of us have been arrested for doing such.
