Same happened to a fellow I knew pretty well - a very talented guy actually - well enough not to embarrass him here - who got messed up with a Nigerian 417 scam and hid out in Topanga Canyon, scared they were coming for him. ‘05. They found him naked a week or so later, paranoid... We always wondered if he licked the wrong toad.
LOL! No news! I guess this will have to remain a mystery to us, 3D-JOY!
