Never heard of SnapChat before.
But for some reason, I find myself now wondering whether "ChatFish" is still available for trademark use, and what I would do with it if I had it.

One Year Since John McAfee Fled Belize 66
Velcroman1 writes "It has been a year since fallen software magnate John McAfee fled his adopted home and country — wanted by police for questioning in connection to the murder of his neighbor. In that year, the often eccentric programming pioneer led the media and the public on a wild ride with his outlandish behavior and off-the-wall statements during a catch-me-if you-can escape from the small Central American country. McAfee is a person of interest in the investigation surrounding the murder of his neighbor, American ex-pat Gregory Faull, near his compound in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye. No headway has been made in the investigation — and authorities in Belize are still looking to speak with McAfee. 'Nothing has really changed. It's not a closed case,' police spokesman Raphael Martinez said. 'He is still a person of interest.'"

There are a few grammatical and phrasing errors that it would be nice to fix. I don't think anybody's suggesting that he make any substantial changes in his observations or assertions.

You think it wouldn't look like that already, to someone who'd just awakened from a 20-year coma?

American ex-pat here, quite happy that his daughter is growing up in Oz rather than the US, on account of most of the factors you've named or alluded to.
She was born by Caesarian, BTW. Would've bankrupted us in the US, as my publisher had just gone under, leaving me with about $75K in unpaid invoices/contracts... and no health insurance. Good times.

You have a problem with that or something?
