#1 Weirdness. This story makes no sense to me.

So, uh, he had a secret contract to sell plague bacteria to someone in Tanzania. He first reported the vials missing - later says they were destroyed? WTF?

For now I'd have to guess, from the given info, that FedEx / bank records and such paper trails were discovered during the "missing vials" investigation. I'm not sure that anything else makes any sense!

Most of the remaining tidbits of it (e.g. embezzlement!) don't fit, though.

There's definitely some missing linkages here. He really did throw his life away - so I doubt that we know the full extent of this bizarre tale.

Weirdness, Dr Steve! Head-scratcher of the day!

#2 I wonder if he was considering or caught in a scheme to blackmail the feds.... or if he was tried on legitimate charges which were unrelated to the real crime.

How's ALCOA doing this a.m. in Europe?

#3 You guys don't seem to know any doctors. A significant number tend to be paranoid flakes. Its probably a combination of the 'god complex' and pharmaceuticals abuse.

#4 I happen to know Butler, though not well. Phil may be closer to the truth, can't say much more.

#6 Now he can do rectal exams in the federal slammer

Uh, I don't think he'll be performing them, more like an unwilling participant.
