Couple days ago I came across this article via Gawker from Yale's newspaper that described how one of their classmates wasn't who he said he was and had applied to the school with falsified credentials and forged transcripts. The student is unnamed in the article. After reading it, I told my roommate that I was 99.9 percent positive that I know who this student is. Explanation: When I was at Columbia, I had class with this gregarious but peculiar kid. He later introduced me to one of his friends. Out of the blue, she called me last summer to warn me about this former classmate of hers. She had considered him one of her closest friends, quite literally welcoming him into her life and her home. What she divulged blew me away. Different age. Different country of origin. Marriage. In his computer: forged documents and social security numbers belonging to her and others. Turns out my instinct about the subject of focus in the Yale article was correct. What the fuck.
