Level 3 · 8 mo agoI think you are overstating his intelligence. The consensus now is that he was a sloppy criminal who only thrived because the occupation crippled the police. It was situational luck rather than skill.

Level 2 · 9 mo agoThe "South America is a big place" line is absolute insanity. Dude really thought he could gaslight the whole courtroom while facing the guillotine.
