I'm basing it off of common sense and the notion that he/they could afford it, if indeed the love of his life and possible future wife was on her fucking deathbed.karen lotz;1368406 wrote:and you are basing that off of his family living in Hawaii with a high cost of living. lol.

Exactly. The guy knew and he used the story to gain emotional appeal. The guy is a fraud.thePITman;1368412 wrote:This is an important article. Te'o volunteering to talk to ESPN about the emotional moment of his girlfriend's passing, even after he supposedly "finally" found out it was a hoax:

The person kept calling and saying it was Lennay herself, and over the course of 10 days Te'o engaged the woman in several conversations.
"He was asking questions only Lennay would know," said the source, adding that phone records show multiple calls between Te'o and that number.
By the time first-semester classes were over at Notre Dame, Te'o was convinced Lennay Kekua was a hoax, the source said. He went home to Hawaii for Christmas and told his mother about it on Christmas Eve.

Exactly. Those who believe he wasn't involved have spent hundreds or thousands of hours perpetuating this hoax. Without a hint of motive, that's pretty hard to believe.karen lotz;1368397 wrote:it would appear it isn't far more than anyone would put into a cruel joke. It didn't just start a couple months ago.

Te'o is a victim didn't you hear? He already gave his side of the story and its inconsistent with logic and reason. Only blind ND homers actually believe this guy isn't a phony. Nice hero you have though!karen lotz;1368430 wrote:Not bent out of shape at all. I've said how I'd feel about Te'o if he was in on it.

I'd think people like End of Line, Pick, vball, az, midstate, etc etc are more bent out of shape over Te'o than I am. And by bent out of shape, I mean oddly aroused.
And if he did, in fact, have those calls, I would have to believe that either 1) He was led on for a short time, then found out, and then continued building the lie, or 2) The story is, in fact, as he and ND are stating (but still guilty of lying and going for the drama/emotional effect).thePITman;1368436 wrote:Cell phone records are verifiable, correct?

0% chance Te'o releases these. The guy is in full blown deny and resist mode and so are his ND homers. His draft stock is plummeting and he's having trouble holding onto his silly lie. I would put him on suicide watch at this point; hope he's okay.thePITman;1368436 wrote:Cell phone records are verifiable, correct?
