Печальное (what goes around - пожнешь бурю)

Dr. Louis A. Gottschalk, an 89-year-old neuroscientist who works at the University of California, gained national prominence in 1987 by claiming that his studies of President Reagan's speech patterns showed Reagan had been suffering from diminished mental ability as early as 1980.

A renowned psychiatrist lost up to $3 million over 10 years to a Nigerian Internet scam, his son alleges in a lawsuit.

Guy Gottschalk filed a lawsuit last month asking a judge to remove his father as administrator of the family's $8 million partnership.

Неужели и вправду работает? В смысле, scam?
