Clockwork Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 This was a great read. Unreal stories like this always fascinate me

Clockwork Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Here's the 'girl" he claims to be in love with. http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/denise-milani/images/28735827/title/denise-milani-photo Don't blame him. I'm now in love with her!! Edited March 10, 2013 by Clockwork
Dibs Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) http://www.nytimes.c...wanted=all&_r=0 Well.....he was found guilty.....and I'd say his text and email messages went a long way to confirming that verdict. "Was worried only about sniffer dogs but more." "SIRU” — the Hotel Siru, where they were planning to meet in Brussels — “IS AMBUSH.” 10:14 a.m.: “Your naivety is bad for me, us. This is millions. NO SIRU, OK?" "This stuff is worth nothing in Bolivia, but $Ms in Europe. You meet me at the airport and we do not go near the hotel the ‘agent’ suggested. Stay at another hotel." "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME? AT THIS LAST MOMENT. WE DID NOT DECIDE HOW TO MEET TOMORROW IN BRUSSELS AND KEEP COCA & LIVES. AT SIRU WE MAY LOSE BOTH!!” At 1:06: “We may do cool 1,000,000."

boyst Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 how can stupid be so smart and smart be so stupid? I just do not understand this.
Keukasmallies Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Once again the little head out maneuvers the big head....
BarkLessWagMore Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 The girl linked above was the subject of many of Dib's avatars, which got him in hot water with the TBD police. Tread lightly with Ms. Milani, as she is evil.
Beerball Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Well.....he was found guilty.....and I'd say his text and email messages went a long way to confirming that verdict. That is true, but the question was how gullible can you be.
Dibs Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 That is true, but the question was how gullible can you be. Actually it was "how gullible is he?".....to which I figure the answer is not very gullible at all. How gullible can you be? Hmmm.....Mante Teo seemed to show that being gullible is pretty easy. BTW......I have a bridge that I'm interested in selling.....anybody interested?
NoSaint Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 That is true, but the question was how gullible can you be. He thought he beat the system, no doubt. Convinced he was the perhaps the greatest man in the world he expected to be able to land the bikini model and out con the drug lords. He's smart after all.... How could it ever go wrong? I wonder how he feels about the teo story

Hmmm.....Mante Teo seemed to show that being gullible is pretty easy. BTW......I have a bridge that I'm interested in selling.....anybody interested? Couldn't disagree more. I don't know anyone who would do what he did (pre-suitcase). Guess we run in different circles, and no, his guilt has nothing to do with his gullibility towards a 'woman' he hasn't met. Using Te'o as an example? You don't find his case unusual either?
KD in CA Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Every story I read about a so-called "online relationship" leaves me stunned. Anyone who "falls in love" with words on a computer screen doesn't have much a concept of love. You can kinda understand how it can happen to a sheltered kid like T'eo, but an educated 68 year old man who thinks some supermodel half his age wants him?? And he still doesn't get it when he's stranded at an airport? Or asked to smuggle drugs? How detacted from reality can one get?
The Poojer Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Man, I am impressed by your attitude about this. I'd really like to meet you sometime. Let me know if you'd be interested.

With the text & emails showing that he was aware of the drugs......I just assumed that a smart man like him could have easily invented the "imposter online girlfriend" as an excuse. I actually believe that the stupidity/gullibility of people is virtually limitless.....usually based upon emotions overriding the ability to think rationally....love/hate/greed etc. With the Te'o case....I was more unbelieving that somebody could go to so much effort to dupe another person with apparently nothing to gain from the deception.....than I was that a person(Te'o) could be duped in such a manner.

Jim in Anchorage Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Send me a picture first. You sound hot. Man, I am impressed by your attitude about this. I'd really like to meet you sometime. Let me know if you'd be interested. First TBD wedding? And I was there.

Just Jack Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 BTW......I have a bridge that I'm interested in selling.....anybody interested? Does it go to Brooklyn? Because I've always wanted my own private bridge to Brooklyn.
