Amazing lack of critical thinking for a scientist.
- jfb 14y agoI think it's entirely likely he knew what was up with the suitcase. And nobody ever went broke overestimating the male ego.
- danso 14y agoIt's funny, I hadn't thought considered it possible that he knew about the cocaine and he was convinced the model was real. I thought it was either-or: either he was completely blinded by his love and really is naive about transferring random bags across the border, or he was in need of money and concocted this honey-trap story (and a facade of total naivete) as a cover for being a drug mule. I suppose it's possible that he thought being a drug mule was just one of the tasks he had to do to woo this woman. Which would be even more boneheaded than just falling for her innocently.

Which would be even more boneheaded than just falling for her innocently. From reading the texts he sent from the airport, and the calculations he scratched out on paper at the same time, it seems that this is actually what he was thinking. As far as I can tell, he planned to steal the cocaine from Bolivians, fly to Europe with it, and then share the proceeds of selling the cocaine with his new bikini-model Czech wife.

- smsm42 14y agoWhat sounds really strange to be in that paper is that a physicist needed to multiply 200 by 2000 on paper. How hard is that? First-grader should be able to do it.
