She fabricated a whole enigma of her self down to creating multiple fake email accts and friends on "friendster" who wrote glorious things about her. She continues to do so on other sites and eventually it caught up with her. She spent 6 months in jail. Still hasn't changed her tune... :(</p> OMG, he reminds me of an aquaintance that I met.

Can’t believe this douche is that much of a pathological liar. I’m glad he’s been outed (well, ‘outed’ so far as an article not many people will read will get you).

Also, in the photos the special sauce doesn't look appetizing to me, but he looks like he's putting on a good show. Maybe he could host his own cooking show on youtube, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ShowMeTheCurry">Show Me The Curry</a>-style.</p> Given how he took his mom to the interview and cooked for the photographer/editor in front of her too, I wondered if he made up the story mostly to impress her.

that reminds of when i worked for a once dominant wall st firm and one of my colleagues wanted info on a new tech coming out of mit. i said ask our famous telecom analyst b/c he went there. but my colleague said he didn’t and showed me his online resume as proof. but i could’ve sworn i saw mit listed there just a couple of days ago. i thought i was going nuts.

years later the telecom guy was forced out and it was revealed he lied about mit but the firm didn’t punish him at he time, instead let the reference disappear quietly b/c he bought home the bacon. but boy, he was quite creative with the valuations.
