I'm sorry this has to be my first post... but I -really- don't believe this. I think there is a "Tony" from the article, but there are -way- too many holes in this story. I wouldn't be surprised if the thread author/conspirator made this whole thing up, then searched for an article to try to tie the ends together. Private investigators will not go chase a fish scam artist for free. There are probably -tons- of fish related scam artists (as laughable as that sounds) and coincidentally you get involved with a child molester that makes news? How do you have the money to support this guy? Why would you go to the store to buy plants to sell at a fish store? Didn't anything ring a bell there?
Either the author and the conspirator with the P.I. are the same person, or pulled this story off together, and I don't know how Scully ties in - maybe you had a similar experience with a Tony, you're making it up (or you are the author) - or maybe you actually did deal with this guy.
There is something very fishy with this story, no pun intended. I can't put my finger on it, but the immaturity of the author and the "lols" and the "close this thread" spread around don't really help. There is something really wrong with this story, most likely a heavily disguised troll that was lucky enough to find a real life "Tony" to cover their tracks.
