Charges Dropped In Facebook Spy Vs. Spy Case

Charges Dropped In Facebook Spy Vs. Spy Case

This is awesome.

1. Wife pretends to be a young girl, flirts with ex, planning to use their exchange against him in custody suit. Turns over dialogues to FBI.

2. Bumbling FBI agents arrest him on the basis of that exchange, without bothering to hear his side of the story.

3. It turns out that he was aware of the wife's scam and was playing along to assist his own custody case. He was going to plant fictitious info that only the false identity would know. Therefore, if his wife came to court with any of that knowledge, it meant she was using the false identity to harass him. When the exchange began, he drew up his entire plan, typed it up, and created notarized copies.

Three obvious points:

Almost nothing on the internet is real.

He may be in the right, but he was playing a reckless game.

The FBI "investigators" must have been completely clueless. The guy spent four days in Federal custody because of something which a decent investigator would have cleared up in about 60 seconds of interviewing followed by one back-up phone call to the notary public, whose name and seal are clearly visible on the document. Moreover, I assume that the husband must have told the feds his story immediately, and must have told them he could produce the notarized document. Therefore, they obviously made zero effort to ascertain the truth before arresting him, and then did nothing for four days after arresting him. (Perhaps there was a sale at Dunkin Donuts?) If I were their commanding officer, they would all be working the drive-through at Starbucks today.
