Though the Guatemalan government initially said that John McAfee would be quickly shipped back to Belize, he’s managed to buy himself some time. Reuters reports that McAfee’s lawyers have filed a request to allow him to stay in the country until a court rules on his appeals against deportation, which could take months. “The government of Guatemala respects the courts and we have to wait for them to make a decision,” said a government spokesman. Since arriving in the country last week, the tech mogul has already been arrested and had a heart attack scare that landed him in the hospital, but we trust that he’ll be able to come up with some new antics in the coming days and weeks.
