Guatemala City (CNN) -- The story of American tech mogul John McAfee reads like a bestselling mystery: murder, poisoned dogs, young women and international intrigue fueled by weeks on the run. But in the latest chapter of the saga, the millionaire says his month of evading Belizean authorities is over. And he plans to settle down in Guatemala, at least for now. "I have a passport. I am in no trouble with the U.S. I can return any time I like," he told CNN en EspaÃ±ol in Guatemala City on Tuesday evening. "I have been back to America many times since I have been in Belize. I have no interest of going this month or next but ... I can come and go freely to America any time I want."
