Well, why did he lie, if he knew the text on his phone would show LE he lied?
He never thought that he would have to show his phone. It was AFTER they looked at his phone, that his lies fell apart.
Reading his self-written biography, I don't think he is careful, or meticulous. A careful person would have corrected the glaring , embarrassing, HASTY mistakes on a biography he is using to market HIMSELF.
He may be personable, but I think he is impulsive...for that reason.
I think the picture..Like all his other grandiose pictures and verbiage...was done without thinking it through.
He NEVER thought they'd look at his phone. If he did, he wouldn't have lied about the other details.
Example: I can tell cops SS only called me on THURSDAY about the money drop...they'll never find out differently.
Oops.
