I know he’s not the source of the images, but he said he had seen the images. I’m wondering if he ever saw physical photos (i.e what you would normally get when developing photographic film) or if he just saw these scanned images. Did he ever hold the images in his hands, and if so, in what form? Just on computer paper? Photographic paper, etc.?

There is no one (intelligently) saying that Chow is the source of any scanned photos. Someone else was feeding him the photos and not letting him release them. We know why now….

If these photos were scanned from a French book, when Chow said he had “photos” did he mean he had scanned images on a computer? Does that not suggest he never had or had access to “original photos” developed by a conventional camera. Or did someone print these off on photographic paper?

Either way, kudos to Jean luc Drevillon. He should be considered a hero in the crypto-community.

One more round of “Johor Gin” ™ for the road, then it’s back to the Blobsquatch hunts and the Wookie Invasion of Oz!

Oh, it’s a Cryptastic world! It is.

“what’s more sad… the fact the whole thing is done and a hoax or the fact Chow could have saved time, money, and his career by just showing someone these pics months ago.”

I hate to go into this area again, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to believe that the entire crew isn’t involved in this damnable hoax, including Chow and Ang.

Animatronic models still involve costumes. My point is simply that anyone with half a brain should be able to tell that those aren’t real creatures.

I’m at least SUGGESTING that everyone on the Malaysian end was a witting party to this hoax, which was intended to be a “funding magnet”.

Then when the “photo” showed up, it was amazing how quickly things fell apart. Literally minutes after the hoax was revealed, the site was down for maintenance… hmmm… qawinkydink?

I have also been keeping an eye on events today as they have unfolded here, and it really drives home the point of how powerful the internet is!

Some may think that Vincent & Sean got taken in too (like many of us), but I am sure they knew full well what they were doing… They just didn’t count on the internet being as powerful a tool as it is, and people being smart enough to use that power. They hoped they could play the world as fools… I think we can all now agree on who the fools really are, and there are only two of them. They wanted notoriety, and they got it. The only problem is, it turned out to be not quite the kind they wanted (I assume). They are now cemented in history as two of the biggest horses @$$’s in the crypto world.

I wouldn’t be suprised if their next job’s had the phrase “Do you want fries with that?”.
