The Florida Building Collapse and Conspiracy Layering
One reply speculates whether McAfee had a condo in the collapsed Florida building, implying a connection. There is no evidence linking McAfee to the Surfside Champlain Towers collapse. This is an example of associative conspiracy layering — stacking unrelated tragedies onto an already emotionally charged narrative to reinforce suspicion.
Conspiracy amplification often works this way:
-
Insert a dramatic personality.
-
Add a cryptic early warning.
-
Connect unrelated catastrophic events.
-
Frame coincidence as pattern.
It is narratively powerful. It is not evidentiary.
The Reality of McAfee’s Persona
John McAfee was a brilliant software entrepreneur. He was also known for extreme political views, public anti-establishment rhetoric, and high-profile claims about government corruption.
He died in 2021 in a Spanish prison. Spanish authorities ruled it a suicide. Alternative theories persist online, but none have been substantiated with verifiable forensic evidence.
McAfee’s public identity thrived on provocation. His brand operated at the edge of chaos.
A provocative tweet in early 2020 aligns with that pattern.
