No, I'd think the guys into sex slavery and organ theft are probably more "evil". This guy is more like an opportunistic sociopath. That seems more like the norm with this war...

That kind of opportunistic behaviour reminds me of Milo Minderbinder. I wonder if they've found any Egyptian cotton in those "detectors"...

#13while it doesnt take anything away from how terrible selling these things was, since this story came around I have been incredibly confused at how someone spent £60million and wasnt absolutely certain they worked.
Occam's razor says that this is essentially embezzling reconstruction funds. You pay me a buck of Uncle Sam's money for your dowsing rod, I make sure 10 cents finds it way into your Swiss bank account, everyone is happy.

#14Sorry, to disappoint but this is standard within the military-industrial complex. If you have dealt much with DoD and their contractors, you would notice a lot of waste and a lot of scamming going on.
There was a story a while ago about some contractor in Afghanistan charging the military $100 for a 15 pound load of laundry. That happens because the guys at the Pentagon are the same guys running the defense contracting companies.

and probably the guys selling the bombs his device doesn't detect are more evil, too. although it might be more difficult to blame it on one person in that case.

#18that is is tremendous opportunity to solve this particular problem. Whoever does will make a lot of money, just that this goofball shouldn't hsve.

#19Hardly, the whole military-industrial complex is corrupt. I wonder how you can get into that market...

#20How can we have a problem with this guy but are happy for "psychics" to play havoc with people's emotions in exchange for cash? It's the same thing.
The response has interesting echos to the US government's response to being hacked. It's the hackers fault! Not the fault of our security!
The fact remains as a purchaser you should be cautious about what you choose to buy. To blow millions on this guys stuff is utterly hilarious to buy it without expert approval is just dumb.
Makes me wonder if the military ever blew millions of dollars on x-ray specs or Charles Atlas's book but kept hush about it.
