Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee has been accused of sending threatening emails and having associates in an armed motorcycle gang by a former property manager at his Oregon apartment.
Mr McAfee, who says he lost most of his software fortune in the financial crisis, moved to the luxury apartment building in southeast Portland after arriving in the US from Belize last December.
The 68-year-old fled the Central American nation after authorities said they wanted to question him in connection with the fatal shooting of a neighbour. He has denied any involvement in Gregory Faull's death.
Before arriving in the US, Mr McAfee spent a week in a Guatemalan jail for allegedly being there illegally.
Now the eccentric entrepreneur is facing a civil stalking complaint filed by Connor Hyde, a property manager with the Riverstone Residential Group.
Mr Hyde's court filing, obtained by The Oregonian newspaper, says Mr McAfee sent threatening emails and has access to weapons and armed associates from a motorcycle club.
Crystal Pierce, senior property manager at The 20 on Hawthorne, said Mr Hyde no longer works at the location. She said the company does not comment on legal matters.
British-born Mr McAfee said he moved to Montreal two months ago and had only just learned of the situation in Portland.
He said he had issues with building management over "wilful lapses of security" but was not forced to leave.
"I've never been evicted from anything," he said.
Mr McAfee said he had a "severe problem" with Mr Hyde, but never threatened him with anything except lawsuits.
"He gave keys out to all of his friends, and friends of friends," he said. "People were partying in vacant condos."
Judge Steven Evans granted a temporary protective order against Mr McAfee and scheduled a hearing for January 3.
Mr McAfee said he does not plan to attend that hearing. He said the protective order was inconsequential because he is no longer living in Oregon.
The former tycoon sold his stake in the software company named after him in the early 1990s.
He moved to Belize about four years ago to reduce his taxes. He has dabbled in yoga, ultralight aircraft and the production of herbal medications.
He told The New York Times in 2009 that he had lost all but £2.47m ($4m) of his £61.7m ($100m) fortune in the US financial crisis. However, a story on the Gizmodo website quoted him as describing that claim as "not very accurate at all".
