It's a story that reads like a "Seinfeld" episode.
The state attorney general has indicted a man for allegedly pretending to be an architect, an investigation Eric Schneiderman dubbed "Operation Vandelay Industries."
Schneiderman says the man - whose name is, coincidentally, Paul Newman - allegedly drafted renderings for more than 100 buildings in three upstate New York counties.
The state attorney general also accuses Newman of issuing false documents and falsely certifying on those documents that he was a licensed architect, when he was not.
The name of the investigation was a reference to a fake company that George Costanza created on Seinfeld when applying for a job. George also harbored dreams of being an architect on the show.
"Newman" was Jerry Seinfeld's nemesis on Seinfeld's eponymous sitcom.
If the investigators are interested.....
The Google plant in Iowa is also Vandelay.
Looks like he will have to dip in to the human fund to help mitigate legal costs

I knew him when he was Art Corevalay.
When I need industrial work, I usually go with Kramerica Industries, J. Pennypacker or Krueger Industrial Smoothing (the “r” fell off the building).
[Shoulda stuck to import/ export.]
I think he should focus on the importing and forget the exporting. Or was it the other way around?
I know him!
He’s from “The Clinic”.
Didn’t he used to work for the Yankees?
He should have been a fake city planner. Why pose as a builder of fake buildings when you can pose as a fake builder of cities?

Holy smokes, what’s your FReeper number? Six? You’re OLD!!!
Just kidding. :)
I don’t remember Numan, but then again, I’m barely 14. I’m always amused, though, when I spot a handle I don’t recognize at all (especially during our feisty primary seasons!), check the FR birthdate, and realize the person has been here nearly as long as I have, if not longer. Your handle, for example, was unfamiliar to me, but I see from your birthdate that you’ve been around pretty much since the dawn of FReeper time. Well done, Senator!
Tonight I shall raise a glass of Listerine to Numan, ClassyGreenEyedBlonde, the Sporkweasel, and all those who were zotted, who opused out, who just quietly quit posting, and to those who simply, and with a quiet dignity, kicked the bucket.
May God bless the Free Republic. Amen.
