Where?Who is the real Alexis Debat? What is his new cover/alia?
How did he do it and get away with it? A greeter at Walmart is vetted more closely.
Why don't "journalists" follow up on this character?
A regular "Clark Rockefeller."
Why didn't Jennifer 8 Lee go after this story?
And where did all the cash described by Willem Marx and delivered to Lincoln Group's Paige Craig wind up.?
What is Christian Bailey really doing now that he's out of MIT?
Just a curious citizen anxious for accountability,
