SUMMARY

SUSCEPTIBILITY: Nothing in the conventional sense. If he is trying to tell us anything he is obviously trying to get our attention via a CI ploy with the intention of bringing us to him. He moves with confidence and near-impunity- certainly not like one who might be in trouble.

PROFESSICANLISM: Not smooth and subtle nor particularly secure. But crafty, fast on his feet, makes fast decisions and then acts on them. Aggressive and ubiquitous. Socially active. Woman-chaser.

PERSONALITY: See above.

Should be leaving before another year and one-half. Has been there for : three and one-half years. See other similar cases. :
