My blog, the issues that I am discussing, are hurting the government, they are hurting tourism, tourism accounts for over 70% of all the employment in Belize. The government was mad at me before; they're seriously mad at me now. There is no hope for my life if I am ever returning to Belize."<br/> <br />He had been living in Belize for four years and now says he fears authorities would kill him if he returns there.<br/> <br />Belize's prime minister has called the anti-virus software entrepreneur paranoid and "bonkers".<br/> <br />His lawyers have filed several appeals to block his deportation to Belize and are waiting for a higher judge to review his case.
