The authentic heros got fed up and outed him.
He’s despicable.
You are spot on.
The director of the Jackson Lab in Bar Harbor, Maine embellished (lied) on his resume and his biography.
He said he earned a master’s degree-he did not
He said he earned a Navy Cross, then said he was nominated for one-not true in either case.
He said he was on an Olympic team-he was not.
The Lab had a zero tolerance policy on embellishing one’s resume to the point of fabrication. Low level employees have been fired for less.
His downfall-he had to reduce staff but apparently did it unfairly. So someone check up on him and went public.
He left the Lab (fired or resigned before being fired, I don’t recall).
