As is usual these days he can't just be a fraudster, it's his illness! rolleyes

"He said that his son suffered from a form of autism and was “a phenomenal individual who is enterprising and creative” with an ability to recall the exact detail of every airline’s flight schedules. But the autism also made his behaviour highly challenging."

I suppose to be fair, while what he has done is techically fraud, he doesn't seem to have actually done it for any obvious financial gain like a typical fraudster.

Quite a talent. We should dip him in tea and send him to MI6.



Gary Johnston: I heard there might be a large terrorist attack. If you tell me what it is, maybe I could help out.

Terrorist: Get out of here! We have put out a jihad on the infidels because they destroyed our lives. What do you know about pain and sadness?
[Gary pauses, recalls sounds of gorillas roaring]

Gary Johnston: I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village in their Blackhawk helicopters. The infidels fired at the oil fields and they lit up like the eyes of Allah. Burning oil rained down from the sky and cooked everything it touched. I could only hide myself and cry as my goats were consumed by the fiery black liquid death. In the midst of the chaos, I could swear that I heard my goats screaming for help. As quickly as they had come, the infidels were gone. It was on that day I put a jihad on them. And if you don't believe it, then you'd better kill me now, because I'll put a jihad on you, too.

Terrorist: I like you. You have balls. I like balls.

I wonder if he had a plan or whether it just snowballed? How far did he think it would go, what was his end goal with this scam?

As far as I can tell he's done nothing worse than the average Apprentice contestant, he just told some lies and talked to a few people.

Yes waste a load of peoples time by deceit, well done indeed...

The article mentions that this isn't the 1st time something like this has happened, with him almost bringing the cast of some musical over from the US for a non existant show.

Try for Holloway Eric.........at least being touched up in the shower wouldn't scar the mind as much as it would in the Scrubbs.

Not so sure. I'd opt for Ford Open Prison - it used to be a Fleet Air Arm airfield.

"You are found guilty and I sentence you to 1 year in prison. Take him down. Oh, wait a minute. I quite forgot. Which prison would you like? I've got some brochures here if you like. I wouldn't recommend Dartmoor. Full of loonies."
