John McAfee has reemerged on Twitter after ‘going dark’ online following what he said was a run-in with the CIA.

“Been at sea 4 and a half days in rough weather,” he tweeted Monday. “Will be back in the saddle shortly.” 

The creator of McAfee AntiVirus software tweeted on Friday that the CIA had attempted to “collect” him and his wife. Sharing a photo of him and his wife Janice carrying guns, McAfee said that he was somewhere at sea and would be ‘going dark’ for a few days. 

McAfee announced he was on the run from the US and living on a “freedom boat” in January, explaining that a grand jury had moved to indict him and others on tax-related charges.
