A few things, if I may.
1) The progression of the drones is very odd. If my memory serves me, the drones were photographed from least sophisticated to most sophisticated.
Why? Chance?
2) As somebody pointed out, the bandwidth for the fortunecity page would be surpassed by the download of just a few of the scans. The page is
obviously being paid for. This raises a number of possibilities:
a) somebody is using a credit card, which would render "Isaac's" supposed anonymity void. This leads me to believe this is some type of marketing
or some form of "disclosure" for any number of reasons (testing public opinion, a primer for further revelations, or a way to poison the
well--half-truths as it were)
b) "Isaac" is paying by non-traceable means. I'm not even sure if this is possible.
c) Fortunecity is being generous
3) If "Isaac" is a computer science wiz, why the ?quotes? Fortunecity artifact, perhaps?
4) He also claims to feel relatively secure in that the information so far revealed narrows him down to 30-40 people but with the back story provided,
wouldn't that narrow him down quite a bit?
I will say this, the primer pages are quite imaginative and artistic. Having said this, the opus is too detailed and involved for someone to hoax
unless they have TONS of time and money on their hands. Qui bono? I would say either the movie or video game industry. HALO, Transformers, Star Trek,
Taken 2(?), Interstellar, etc. There are a number of possibilities. Heck, even C2C could be the beneficiary of all this. Perhaps a Steven
Spielberg/ILM production?
Taking a general survey, there are too many items in the CON column and too few in the PRO. Ironic since this is a professional con job. Perhaps a
master pro/con list is in order?
I want this to be the real deal as much as the next person. The universe is too vast and it'd be egomaniacal to assume we have it all to ourselves.
However, this drone story doesn't fly (pun definitely intended).
