Yes, I think he's stupid--very stupid--but to tell you the truth, I actually AM shocked if he was totally taken in and scammed by Hernandez like this. As has been said in other posts, this was a pretty big undertaking and you'd think there would have been involvement by lawyers, background checks, due diligence checks, review of financial stattements, etc. Nobody--not ONE person involved in this--could have done a little asking and sniffing around and detected that something didn't smell right here? It just boggles my mind.
