At the risk of reviving a thread that might just as well have been left alone...
Solomon Tulbure, aka Maximus Tulbure (he claims to have had his name legally changed -- something about needing a new identity because the Islamic
Brotherhood was after him...) is indeed alive
(unless he's not) and well
(um, not really) and, apparently, residing in Knoxville, TN.
See his bio at
www.authorzone.com...
More than a year ago, I put together a small web page about him and people kept finding it and sending me more information about him and I kept adding
it to the page. It includes a list of web sites he operates or has operated, many of which are now defunct. A few times, I've been ready to simply
let the page drop but just when I think things have become pretty quiet, someone emails me something new or someone else is outraged by something
he's done. It just keeps going...
I was trying to track down confirmation of his having claimed to have invented the AIDS virus only to have it stolen from him. That seems like a
pretty wild claim, even for him. So far, I have only found people who have heard somewhere that he made the claim. I haven't been able to track
down a first-hand source.
"Max" himself refuses to give meaningful answers to any questions I ask him. He refuses to talk with "morons". Apparently, his definition of
"moron" includes anyone who thinks that he should stand behind his words and take personal responsibility for what he says. I see that others here
have had similar difficulty getting him to communicate in a straightforward manner.
The person who first told me that he'd made the claim about HIV sent me a link to this site in response to my request for confirmation. But, as with
certain other claims, it is not at all clear that it really is Tulbure who made the claim.
Anyway, I just thought I'd say "Hi".
Hi.
BTW, my page about him, if anyone is interested, is here:
