Hoax confirmed
Bigfoot Hoax Called A 'Scheme To Defraud' -- Bigfoot -- InformationWeek
Now don't get me wrong, I do think there is a remote possibility of a large undiscovered primate, simply because the indirect evidence (remote footprints, etc) is pretty widespread. Sightings are of course subjective, but people have seen
something, for sure.
That said, this is not one of those cases, and I honestly smelled a hoax from the beginning.
