i am no expert in these matters...but what if he is telling the truth? just maybe...just because its not mainstream knowledge doesn't mean it didn't happen. He says it happened to him but you are seated on your revolving seat behind a computer monitor knowing nothing about his life and yet you dare dispute some claim he made about his life just because they are not widely palatable. just because you have not been offered $10M or even 100 bob does not make your case the same as his.
for me, I just prefer to keep quiet on stuff I know zilch about.
