Time of the call had nothing to do with when he left the mental institution.

Of course it does. The whole thing rests on allegedly being told "he was just discharged this evening." If he was discharged Saturday evening, why was he in Austin on Friday?

It's a hoax, and not a particularly well thought out one.

Explain how you know what evening the call was made.

If whomever answered the call told the caller "he was just discharged this evening" she's stupid. The rules are never tell anyone anything about the patient. Pretty standard.

So did she get the date he actually left wrong, easily. Just because there is a discharge date does not mean the patient didn't leave early. Those places like Linder make a pile of money. The longer they can bill the better. Especially, when there is no chance at all they will ever be called on an extra day or any extra charge for that matter with a compromised patient.

If you had slick operators, and make no mistake about it Talarico is being run,you would sign him out of the Linder Institute a day or two after he had already left. And thats how he was in Austin on Friday. And you would make sure everyone saw him in Austin on Friday. It's a good con but not good enough.

Are the heavy weights at Linder going to complain about helping a fellow hard lefty and making and extra buck in the process, not likely.
