On Tuesday (11) there was news that John McAfee had been arrested in Norway for wearing panties as a mask at the airport. However, according to information from the Swiss newspaper Blick, it was all a joke posted by the executive on Twitter.
- There are people receiving checks signed by Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney in the USA
- Musk says ETs built Egypt's pyramids and is battered by scientists
- Killing a meme: the fish with human lips, unfortunately, is not real
The story began on August 10, when McAfee said he arrived in Norway from California, without a mask to prevent COVID-19. To try to get past security, he would have worn panties on his face, which would have led him to prison in the country.
It turns out that McAfee wasn't even in Norway. In the photo, he shows an officer accompanying him with the writings "polizei", which, as he himself recalled on the social network, is the German word for "police", unrelated to the Norwegian "politi".
RED SCARF SOCIETY UPDATE
I am being detained in Norway.
Trivial issue but waiting for high level beaurocrats to arrive.
Slow bastards, as you know.
To be safe, I'm changing our meeting time to 10:00 tonight.

“Does the traditional media check the news? No. I thought the policeman's uniform in the photos clearly showed 'polizei' (German, not Norwegian – so it could be Germany, Switzerland, Bavaria or Austria), and many of the vehicles said that Norway was my place of arrest. Just because I said it was ”, criticized the executive.
The MSM fact checks stories?
Nope!
Though the police uniforms in the photos clearly showed "Polizei" (German, not Norwegian – therefore Germany, Switzerland, Bavaria or Austria), many news outlets reported "Norway" as the location of my arrest.
Just 'cause I said so.

The Swiss newspaper Blick contacted the German police to check the information. According to the police, the issue was that McAfee went to Germany directly from California, which would force him to be quarantined in the country due to COVID-19. As a result, he decided to continue his trip to Belarus, which is why he was accompanied by a police officer.
And the issue of panties? Well, it seems that it was just a joke by the executive to criticize the lack of investigation by the mainstream media. Even German vehicles reported that the arrest had been in Denmark without realizing the writings on the uniform in the photo shared by McAfee.
