exactly, if i claimed to be an ATA 2nd degree black belt, nobody would ever question it.

same as if i claimed i was a bjj blue and judo brown. i'd probably fly under the radar around here for months before anybody got suspicious.

I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but has anyone heard from this guy? What he did was wrong, but it would be horrible to think that he really did do something bad to himself because of this thread.

Having all of your credentials being proved as fraudulent could take an ominous toll on one's psyche; especially if he has built himself up to the point where he HAS become those certs and credentials (which it is apparent he has).

I really hope you didn't mean that to have the other meaning it does.

Wait... Neil, you're a member? This is getting too priceless for words.

Very nice to meet the man whose hard work gave Matt his shodan. That was pretty nice of you.

I can say I didn't recognize him in the group photo, but that is by no means definitive.

Do you have a scanner moosey? Perhaps one of those 3-in-1 printer/scanner/fax dealies? If so, you really really really should consider trying to get that working so you can upload that picture. It'd be a lot better quality that say from a cellphone camera.
