In the DC region, there are probably 3,000 guys who claim they either played for the NBA, NFL or MLB. Ninety-nine percent never played a day. It’s like the number of people in the same region who claim they’ve worked for the CIA, FBI or State Department.

In 2010/2011 timeframe, I lived in Arlington next door to an apartment building where some idiot gal convinced everyone that she was CIA. She eventually talked up some guy into the idea that he could be hired, and she pretend-hired him (he actually gave notice from his regular job) and it took him around five days to figure out that she was totally bogus (and nuts). Cops couldn’t do nothing.

If everyone who said they were at Woodstock was counted there would have been around 20 million people there.

Wow, what a story.

I bet the cops couldn’t do anything because what exact crime did she commit, by pretend hiring him for a non existent job? Probably there is no specific law against that activity.

Years ago, I actually came close to getting hired by the CIA. I even had a written job offer in hand subject to budget approval and background check. I had aced the written test and interviews with three different people at the Langley, Virginia headquarters.

At this point, you are required to sign two documents. One states that you will never reveal your employment with the agency even to family. The other states that you have no right to know the reasons if your employment is ever terminated or not ultimately formalized.

Unless you are ultimately interviewed at Langley, any employment offer is bogus.

Washington DC is loaded with liars. Its just that kind of town.
