Despite some editing work I have done on this, I am not sure that this guy deserves an article. Other than facing charges when this is not normal for these crimes, I don't see any notability, and think that a redirect to Nigerian scam or something similar may be a good idea. Any thoughts? --Apyule 07:29, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I would even go so far as to I vote for this article's deletion. The fact that it says that he is "alleged" to be a 419er even though he clearly is -- there is no Nigerian who does not know how Fred got his money! -- shows that it is biased in his favor. At best, he can be refered to in context of the Nigerian 419 scam, but he does not deserve a full blown article at Wikipedia. -- Jalabi99 06:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For a scamming asshole, this article seems to place way too much emphasis on his alleged "philanthropy" and "christianity." Considering the lack of citations, I think all mentions of "philanthropy" should be removed. -- Mrchaotica (talk) 18:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
