Yeah, I stole this from FARK, but still...
So a Chinese Harvard professor decides to start ripping his friends and acquaintances off for cash, claiming he needed the money for SARS research. You know how the Asians are about SARS - you've been on campus and seen the surgical masks. Anyway, the research was bogus, but he still raked in $600K. Now, I would have stopped there. Well, I would have gone to Bali or some shit, but I would have stopped the thieving. Instead, this guy also goes for that sweet $50 million promised in the Nigerian Oil Executive email...you know the one...and he got scammed for all his scammed cash.
How do you be smart enough to teach at Harvard, and dumb enough to email off your bank account number? Now I'm glad I didn't go there (I had an adviser that said he could get me in...maybe he just wanted my sweet ass). How can rip your friends off to the tune of a half million?
On an unrelated note, I have promising research into hangover elimination and convincing women you personally are attractive and successful. The problem is my government financing has run out, so if you could mortgage your apartments and send me the check, I will go through with my research. In Bali.

Posted by: Fatboy at March 31, 2004 12:41 PMGood question...the article only wrote "he says he's been scammed," but the cops appear convinced. Chances are, if he opened his accounts up to Mbeke Imbezeebe or whoever runs the Nigerian Oil business, he got taken for more than whatever he scammed for SARS. Maybe that's why he looked so happy in his mugshot.

Posted by: John at March 31, 2004 12:57 PMI slept with him.
No, it was an AACC guy...he was like, "why are you applying here. I know a guy at Harvard."
Then I laughed in his face.
