John McAfee is in Guatemala tonight - where it seems he's seeking asylum - though we aren't quite sure from what.
VICE Magazine - with which he seems to have ironed out his differences - reports that McAfee has retained highly regarded Guatemalan lawyer and former Attorney General Telésforo Guerra.
It's unclear how a Guatemalan attorney will help him iron out his legal difficulties in Belize - where Guatemalans cannot practice law - but Guerra took the job, and he and McAfee are pictured handshaking after a breakfast meeting.
Interestingly, McAfee is with his 20 year old Belizean girlfriend Sam Vanegas - who claims to be Guerra's niece.
McAfee told Guerra that he entered Guatemala illegally.
VICE Magazine reports that McAfee will have a press conference in Guatemala City in the coming days.
On his blog, McAfee reports that he will contact the US Embassy in Guatemala City and makes a special offer to Belizean Prime Minister Dean Barrow. He agrees to meet PM Barrow in a quote, "neutral country to discuss mutual issues." Unquote.
As for the Belizean police who want to question, him, he says he will answer any questions that they have over the phone.
Both these proposals are sure to be non-starters, but we'll keep watching with interest and amusement.
