**snip*** more info

When police caught up with him in 2015, he told them he had spent the money on rare and antique books.

One book, about Captain James Cook’s journeys, cost $15,000.

Alongi, 60, pleaded guilty in Townsville District Court yesterday to defrauding the Federal Government agency.

Seeing the police coming he said, “Can’t we all get alongi.”

On their way in the police said, “We’re here to get alongi.”

At the end of the day, “They had gotten alongi.”

"To support the claims he created or modified invoices, receipts and credit card statements, along with drafting fake analysis reports and email trails,"

Sounds like he has every necessary attribute for professional success in the field of climate "science".

Don’t worry. Those are Auzzie dollars so they aren’t really money.

The first and most important qualification to be a Climate Scientist is to be a fraud.

Daniel Michael Alongi’s climate generated computer forecast told him that Global Warming would cause dollars to rain down from the clouds. When that did not happen Alongi decided to get the dollars the old fashioned way.

I have a weakness for old and rare books myself, but I have resisted the temptation to gain them improperly... so far... :)
