Shame!
Biggest Walt I have heard of was a guy who was head honcho at a very big US Software company ( no prizes ) about 10 years ago.
Said he was a US Marine pilot , saved a buddy by throwing a grenade out of a trench, ruptured his eardrums ejecting from a Phantom.
All b*ll*cks - he was an air traffic controller.
Trouble was he 'Walted' to everyone for years until the Wall Street Journal decided to investigate.
It was bloody... why do they do it.???
