And if he thinks he's smart enough to bring an actor dressed as a cop to a legal confrontation, he and his actor friend will probably go upstate on Grand Theft Auto, Impersonating a Peace Officer, etc.
And in prison, he'll be the pie.
Ruining lives makes him a scum bag, not a dumb scum bag. He's smart enough to have pulled off many other scams, and got further on this one than he should have. Not bashing Japworks, but he obviously smoothed talked them quite a bit. Stupid doesn't do that. He also raised the issue of the work order...that was most likely premeditated...again, not stupid. Then there is the whole fake photo thing...doesn't take a rocket scientist, but it does take someone above average.
I'll bet if you could get the details of every one of his scams, you'd see him getting smarter on each one.
I was semi kidding about the cop thing, but I'll bet no one at Japworks called the OPD to verify the legitimacy of the cop...and I wouldn't have either.
I'm just saying, this kid ain't stupid, and might try just about anything. And for some reason, I doubt he's put much thought into the actual prison part...bad guys never think they'll get caught. I'm hoping he gets to learn more about it, though.
