Assume the position

The “Mexico City Scammer” — who told countless tourists a tale of woe about stolen credit cards and the need to fly back to New York for his son’s birthday — has finally been arrested. Jonathan Clark wrote about the infamous gringo conman back in March 2005 (I’m quoted in the article).
The scammer, who used a variety of names and stories (usually claiming he worked for PriceWaterhouseCooper) is facing a plethoria of charges in Mexico, the United States and several European countries. His arrest came after pushing a would-be victim, who pressed assault charges. As seen in the photograph, the Scammer is in practice for the new role he will be playing at Reclusio Norte at least until his “real” identity and nationality is determined.
