PORTLAND, Ore. – A former resident of Pacific City was sentenced in federal court on December 3, 2013, for stealing more than $78,000 from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS), and Medicaid. Peter C. Byrne, 88, was sentenced to a three year term of probation and required to pay full restitution by the end of the week. Byrne pleaded guilty in August and admitted that between 1992 and 2012 he concealed from SSA and DHS his travels outside the United States and his compensation, while receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and food stamps. Byrne had previously deposited $25,000 with the court for restitution and indicated he was prepared to pay the full balance by the end of the day.

So he was collecting food stamps while bilking money out of gullible people to fund his bigfooty adventures around the world? Classy!

This will have no effect on Bigfootery. Not even a tiny bit.

You are correct.

It is considered the LOWEST form of scepticism to bring this up at Bigfoot websites.

Well of course. Almost everyone involved in this enthusiasm is being dishonest about something, even if it's only with themselves.

Like Patterson being a known conman made no difference to the believers, this will be just another drop in the ocean.
