none of this is credible frankly. i suspect the op is stringing us along.
no, because your's suggested that i think the op is involved, which of course i dont as there is nothing to suggest that he is, or indeed any reason why he shouldn't be presumed not to be. what i am saying is that given the oddness of the facts as stated, i wouldn't exclude the possibility. that is not at all the same as accusing him.
If you say he is stringing us along that doesn't really fit with you saying there is nothing to suggest he is involved. You are welcome to your opinion and you have the right to post it; that doesn't make it a sensible or worthwhile thing to do. Not saying anything is always an option. Unless you think that by speaking up you will help someone, somewhere, in some way and in this case it's hard to figure out who that someone might be.
I would guess Hugo has it right; someone who knows, or knows of, Johnny is just being a prick.
