| > suitcase full of cash and that it might impress some college coed to fuck I think the sex in that story is a red herring. If you have a suitcase full of 700 grand you don't need to impressive anyone to have sex. If you have a bunch of illicit bitcoins converting that into cash also makes sense without bringing sex into it. Money makes sense as a motive. > What does your assessment as to what's reasonable have to do with what Jack Teixeira thought was a good idea? A crime like this needs a motive. > this guy isn't a spook/source for any foreign government We're on the same page. What I'm saying is if this guy was a spook the story would start to make sense. But it doesn't look like he is. > what does his name have to do with it? I'll go out on a limb and say the average person who's last name is Putin has more loyalty to the Russian government than someone who's last name is Teixeira. > Actual spies [...] didn't have "russian" names It's funny. In a parallel thread I'm being accused of thinking Cold War spy stories are real, and here's two men whose entire Wikipedia articles read like spy thrillers. I'm not checking if this guy is a spy, just that some sort of evidence of Russian sympathies would make this all easier to swallow. |
I think stuff too, sometimes. Does it hurt when you do that? It definitely does when I do.
