My thoughts
This is honestly surprising for me, for no other reason than I didn't know he was in trouble with the law. It does make sense though, like cmon, only a criminal would make something like McAfee.

Maybe he didn't pull the trigger, but he hired a guy.

I'm gonna be honest, as many times as I've uninstalled his antivirus, he was kinda legendary.

Its surprising that this happened considering he could have appealed the case. It is worth nothing that on October 5th, 2020 the United States Department of Justice filed charges against McAfee on tax evasion and willful failure to file tax returns over the course of 2014 to 2018.
 
The DOJ Press Release noted that the maximum sentence of five years in prison on each count of tax evasion and a maximum sentence of one year in prison on each count of willful failure to file a tax return. McAfee also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, and monetary penalties.
 
He would have been looking at a maximum of 30 years. 
 
Edit: Bad napkin math had forgotten a year. My bad, 

Uh, exCHUZ-UH me SIIRRR

Well, looks like LTT is going to drop to 4th soon (6 mo or so).
 
I dont know how, but bananco.cc is actually outpacing Default Team 0

 
The good news is we're also outpacing Curecoin! It will just take.... *looks at pen scribbled on hand* 9.5 years!

Don't take any advice from people on online forums. Seek professional legal counsel (hire a lawyer), preferably from someone who specialises in this type of Law. Your legal representation will be able to assist you through any necessary steps you need to take.

Happy Gay Month though!
I'm excited I get to do some gay stuff with my boyfriend this year during pride month lol.
 
For me, I kinda wished it wasn't called "pride", I think often see pride as a self centered and egotistical thing but that's not to say you shouldn't be happy with who you are/what you are and feel comfortable in what ever labels you want to associate yourself with but frankly I sorta think it's putting yourself in a box you don't necessarily need to place yourself in.
I understand wanting to be proud of overcoming adversity when you're not in a very supportive environment but I think there's a couple different types of pride there's a goal or achievement type of pride and there's an egotistical type of pride... a quote I found that's being attributed to a John C. Maxwell suits this well
"There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance."

Yeah I'm gay but guess what? I don't wear it on my sleeve, I'm content with my attraction to the same sex. I enjoy the relations I have with my same-sex significant other but at least for me I'm very nonchalant about it and try and be vague about it when I talk about it because it's not a big deal to me that it needs to be known that the person I'm with happens to be the same sex as me, the more important thing is that Im with someone and they make me happy. The fact they're also a guy isn't that big of a deal, nor should it be. I can understand to some it's a big deal but again it shouldn't be.
Like if you're a guy and you got a girlfriend great!
If you're a chick and got a boyfriend great!
If you're a guy and got a boyfriend? Great!
If you're a chick and got a girlfriend? Great!
 
you're with someone, you love them, they love you and hopefully both of yall are happy and that's all that matters.
Love matters more than what chromosomes they got lol

Hungary is the latest country to try legislating LGBTQ+ people out of existence.
 
Maybe we should be arguing about what pride flags are "acceptable" or if kink should be allowed at pride parades instead of garnering community support for Hungarian LGBTQ+ people. I'm sure that'll help! :))))))))))))
 
Happy pride!
 
if you can't tell I'm extremely tired of the discourse™ that's been happening while things like this has been going on both here in america and abroad.

This is why we need a disappointed react

I wanted to share a big development in my life with all of my fellow folders.
 
I don't normally share things like this because it always seems like bragging or something, but all of your collective positivity over the past year that I have been part of the group has really helped me so...
 
I am a medical physicist. Our job is to perform quality assurance on linear accelerators used for radiation cancer treatments, generate said treatment plans, and provide technical assistance in the treating of the patients receiving those treatments. My training included going to grad school for my master's degree (after leaving my high school teaching position of 10 years), followed by a 2-year residency, and a 3 part board exam process culminating in a 3+ hour oral exam. In the midst of all that, my wife and I moved three times, bought our first house, had two daughters, and braved a global pandemic.
 
I am happy to say that I recently found out that I passed my oral exam on the first try and am now officially a Diplomat of the American Board of Radiology (DABR).
 
As I said before, thank you all for your positivity and comradery over the past year. Without knowing it, you all offered me a respite from things and helped me maintain some semblance or sanity. I'm happy to call you all friends.
 
Cheers and fold on!
