hopefully his brother Peter will be able to bail him out

3/20/2012 6:30:06 PM

I like how he was supposed to teach a class, only 1 person signed up for it. Back in January they said they need 5 in a class to teach so it got canceled. The student knew it was canceled and everything was hunky dory. They stopped his pay on March first for failing to teach the class he was supposed to be teaching. Really>>>?

"‘Jealousy’ stops pay Carney had long been jealous, he said, because Frampton had earned tenure much more quickly and because Carney’s academic accomplishments were paltry compared to his own. “I am one of the most published physicists, and really he hasn’t done much that is of interest,” Frampton said, Carney had taken advantage of Frampton’s helpless position to stop his pay and hinder any notion of the university helping him. Carney, reached by telephone, gave a short laugh. “That’s an interesting assertion,” he said before referring questions on Frampton to Nancy Davis, the associate vice chancellor for university relations. Davis confirmed that Frampton’s salary had changed from $106,835 to zero as of March 1, but said she couldn’t release the reason for the change because it was a personnel matter protected under state law. She also confirmed that the senior associate dean for Social Sciences and Global Programs, Jonathan Hartlyn, had been in Buenos Aires recently on university business and, on March, met with a member of the Argentine judiciary. Over the phone from the prison, Frampton read a letter that he said Carney had sent to Frampton’s defense attorneys. In the first sentence, Carney wrote he was sorry to hear of Frampton’s arrest. In the next, he wrote that he was also sorry to hear that Frampton had been missing the meetings of the general relativity class he was supposed to be teaching. Carney also wrote that after consulting with Chancellor Holden Thorp and University of North Carolina System President Tom Ross he would have to suspend Frampton’s pay, as Frampton would have to take a leave of absence, given his failure to teach the class.

This guy is actually a well respected particle theorist. At least for his academic work. Bet there's a good story behind this arrest.

"The prosecution continued to press its case, producing a piece of paper on which Frampton had written: “1 gram 200 dollars 2,000 grams 400,000 dollars.”"

Quote :

"Frampton’s long-held defense — that he was duped because he had a childlike understanding of the ways of the world — began to unravel. The prosecutor opened his cross-examination of Frampton by citing a text message retrieved from Frampton’s confiscated cellphone. “On Jan. 22 at 9:46 a.m.,” he said, “you wrote from Ezeiza airport to the person you understood to be Denise Milani: ‘Was worried only about sniffer dogs but more.’ ” As his interrogation of Frampton continued, he read other text messages sent from Frampton’s phone. One at 9:52 a.m.: “Need to know if your loyalty is with the bad guy-agent & bolivian friends — or good guy, your husband?” And another at 9:56 a.m.: “SIRU” — the Hotel Siru, where they were planning to meet in Brussels — “IS AMBUSH.” 10:14 a.m.: “Your naivety is bad for me, us. This is millions. NO SIRU, OK?” At 11:19 a.m., Frampton sent Milani an e-mail: “This stuff is worth nothing in Bolivia, but $Ms in Europe. You meet me at the airport and we do not go near the hotel the ‘agent’ suggested. Stay at another hotel.” At 11:47 a.m., there was another text message: “Monday arrival changed. You must not tell the coca-goons.” At 12:16 p.m., he wrote: “WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME? AT THIS LAST MOMENT. WE DID NOT DECIDE HOW TO MEET TOMORROW IN BRUSSELS AND KEEP COCA & LIVES. AT SIRU WE MAY LOSE BOTH!!” At 1:06: “We may do cool 1,000,000.” "
