Well considering he signed a confession I highly doubt that will be happening. As for noticing the badges.....I enjoy Otakon every year but I must say much of the staff are idiots. They have perpetual looks on unhappiness and general "I don't care" attitudes going on. Many also do not check badges properly at all. At least not from what I saw. In fact the main key element they look for is not the badge itself directly but the little shiny silver foil sticker in the corner. Those btw can be faked and ripped off very easily and then just slapped on a random badge. My friend and I commented on it at how easy it would be (we wondered if we could wear a badge from last year and get by them as a little experiment, we didn't do it though) and told a staffer at the DR line we were in and he just looked at us and walked off. So I'm not surprised there was an issue along these lines. I'm more surprised there hasn't been one before. My question why was this not noticed during the con, and if it was why are we just hearing about it now? I mean telling people now really won't accomplish much at this point. |

That would require them to contact the police and file criminal charges. If they haven't done so, then it's not happening.
BTW: I don't want to know how you got his name pubicly. Then again, what you do in your off-time is your own business

Oh, I think that's already done.
I've never seen this kind of stuff at Otakon before, though I've seen a lot of weird stuff go on with them over the past 14 years (missed this year for a conference in LA... kicking myself up till the point when I realized I was in LA instead of Baltimore), so that someone might have actually given him the nod is not beyond the realm of believability for me.
I wouldn't have been the first time there was a major miscommunication amongst the folks running the convention.
