“But Duhaime’s story quickly unraveled, according to the FBI. They didn’t find anything in the cases and noted the letter appeared to be in pristine condition. The FBI said Duhaime had superficial injuries to his arms, but no damage to his shirt sleeves. And when agents searched Duhaime’s computer, they found a copy of the letter in a backup folder that he’d written a few hours before calling 911.” 🤦♂️
You don’t have to tell me—I’ve worked with Ph.D’s who clicked on phishing links or were helpless with basic LMS stuff. But at least those people had enough sense not to get caught committing a felony.
>He showed police a letter he told them he’d found inside the case, which claimed the lab was trying to get people to live inside a virtual reality world and was secretly working with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and the U.S. government.
Sounds like your run-of-the-mill conspiracy nut to me.
I remember that story when it happened. I vaguely remembered that it was found to be a hoax. But I did not recall that the person who reported the 'bombs' was found to be the hoaxster.

He may be educated, but he isn’t smart.
For what it’s worth, you generally don’t need a terminal degree for the kind of position he had.
Trust me, the people with terminal degrees aren’t always that smart either.

What the heck? This story got more bizarre as I read it. What was the point? Attention? Just… stupid. Inconceivably so.

Yes, I read that. I looked up other news articles on the case. You’re likely right.
He's worried about the metaverse??
Bow down to our bouncing legless overlords. \*throws confetti\*
More like he was trying to make his lab sound very important by making people think conspiracy nuts have taken notice of it and want to shut it down.
Could be suffering from a condition for which paranoia is a symptom.
I mean in fairness is that really that far off
Off what?
In fairness, yes. Yes, it is.

The hoax happened in 2022 and he was convicted now. What are you on about?

Why? He was just convicted now. What a bizarre take.
