Escaped Convict Continues To Update Facebook

Posted by samzenpus on from the hiding-in-farmville dept.

Craig "Lazie" Lynch has been on the run from a U.K. prison since September. However, he continues to taunt police by updating his Facebook status. Now he is threatening to quit. From the article: "It seems, though, that late Sunday, Lynch began experiencing a little emotional pain. In what must have been an almost teary update, he posted: 'right I'm coming off this page as I have better things to do.' Who might have imagined that, in his mysterious hideaway, Lynch had something better to do than continue his run as a Facebook attraction?"

    At this point, I am beginning to lean towards one of two things

    • Either he does not exist
    • or the government(s) do(es) not actually want him to be found

    The latter reason is the reality in the world of geopolitics. The family was allowed to fly out of the US when airspace to all air traffic had been closed due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. I would not be surprised to learn eventually he has been visiting the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas, for a weekly pea-knuckle game with Bush Jr. and Cheney and Rove.
