Once again I commend Ms. Ashford and the NYT for continuing to investigate and report on this story.   I'm surprised to learn that Mr. Intrater was duped by Santos - I rather thought he and his cousin Mr. Vekselberg might have been grooming Santos as a potential Russian asset.   I am unclear on the current status of New York's 'Son of Sam' law, which is intended to prevent criminals from profiting from the sale of their story - sending the profits instead to their victims - but if that law is still in effect, I hope Mr Santos will get a fair price for a ghost written book and for the sale of the movie rights to his life story.  That  seems likely to be the most profitable thing Mr. Santos may ever do.
