You\u2019ve heard me talk all year about the agnostic nature of risk management, as a discipline. As recently as three weeks ago, in an episode exploring the 1986 Insider Trading Scandal, I talked at some length about how our discipline. As a method of navigating the unknown. It doesn\u2019t have a moral compass.

It can be used for the purposes of good. And for the purposes of the not so good.

Enter John McAfee. The controversial and problematic creator of McAfee Anti-Virus Software, who \u2013 just last week \u2013 passed away while awaiting extradition from Spain to the US to face charges of fraud and money laundering.

McAfee created a whole industry rooted and nested, in the fear of the unknown. He saw opportunity in threat, expertly wielding our discipline to make himself a multi-millionaire.

On this week\u2019s episode, I explore how McAfee did it.
