It's sad that people will stoop to that level just to gain notoriety. Fortunately he was found out.

Picked this up on Facebook, it is interesting to see the lengths that some will go to
make up stuff. The article doesn't say (or I missed it) if he made quite some money
off all this or if it was mostly for the glory!?
When I was younger and traveled through Africa (circa 1970) I met a few guys who embellished
a lot of stuff ....it would seem adventurers like to make up a lot of BS, sorta goes with
the territory ! lol

I saw that article and another one about a photographer who claimed someone else's work. How could they think they could get away with it? I suppose lots of people do get away with it.
Reuters and BBC have been producing fake conflict photos for decades, along with thousands of mis-captioned photos.
