The "Georgia Bigfoot Body" story is a hoax/scam, started by two fellows in Georgia. The "body" is a widely available Halloween costume stuffed into a large cooler, with some animal entrails laid on top. This ongoing hoax/scam is now being orchestrated by a notorious Las Vegas con-man named Carmine Thomas Biscardi.

He really did not break any laws so he cant be punished.

Answer 2

This was just released to Fox News

It was a Halloween Costume, and the perps have vanished and so have their money. I think they should be sued by Biscardi and by the media for traveling expenses.

Answer 3

They may not have broken any laws  

Answer 4

It is a hoax and they have disappeared with someone's money.  If they're caught they will probably be charged with fraud for taking the person's money in exchange for the "Bigfoot" body even though they knew it was not real all along.

Answer 5

Actually, they are being investigated into being possibly charged with fraud, just before and immediately after the news conference they were charging a fee to see photographs of the body on their website.  Since they knew it was a costume, and set up this story, and then started to charge to see pictures of the so-called body, they were perpetrating a fraud for financial gain, which is against the law.  Once they were informed of the investigation, they removed the fee from their site, and the las vegas con man Biscardi, started pointing fingers at the two guys, saying he was duped too, so that he wouldn't be charged with fraud too.  This is the second time, Biscardi has claimed he's been duped by a "body" of a bigfoot, however, both times come in the same period he is either trying to sell a book, or movie, he is known in the Crypto field as a hoaxer.  I really hope they do get punished for this.  They're stupid dumbarses

Answer 6
