I mean, if he worked that hard to be a contributing member of society, it's a shame he couldn't just be left alone.
I have a friend who knew someone in high school that was pretending to be a high school student but was actually a 28-year old national Japanese woman running away from some sketchy **** in Japan regarding the mafia
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The couple who cared for the 23-year-old Ukrainian national attending Harrisburg High School under a false identity say they contacted federal authorities in November 2015 after he started to make threats he would hurt classmates and teachers.
Stephayne and Michael Potts spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday about their relationship with Artur Samarin. Police arrested Samarin, who was known to the Harrisburg community as Asher Potts, on Feb. 23. Stephayne claims she initially called the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the fall because she was worried Artur might hurt fellow students.
"He made comments about other shootings, and he told us that everyone would know his name. He said his name would be the biggest in the world," Stephayne told reporters. "He started talking about certain kids in school he wanted to hurt. He started talking about blowing he school up."
Samarin's attorney, Adam Klein, said Potts' claims were "full of lies." Klein added there has been no indication that Samarin had a violent past.

Stephayne said she and her husband met Artur Samarin in the late-summer of 2012. He was in Harrisburg with other Ukranian students as part of an international work program. She discovered him inside the Townhouse Apartments complex in Harrisburg, where Stephayne and Michael lives and Artur was staying. Stephayne said Artur told her and Michael that he was getting beat up by fellow students on his work program.
In September of 2012, Stephayne and Michael took in Artur and in October, enrolled him at Harrisburg High School. Stephayne said she did not need any documents to get Artur into the Harrisburg School District.
Stephayne said she originally thought Artur to be 18 years old when she saw he was working at a nearby Red Robin. However, when Artur told her he was 14, she said she believed him. He said he was shot and stabbed while living in the Ukraine, he did not have a father, and his mother abandoned him at 9 years old.
"There were late nights where he's screaming, wetting the bed , and breaking into cold sweats," Stephayne said. "I rocked him. I made him a promise: No one will hurt you again."
Stephayne admitted to knowing he was in the country illegally after his visa expired, but said she had every intention to legalize his status once he turned 18.
What kind of ****ery is going on? I think that his adoptive parents took him in so that they could make money off of him but then all this blew up and they're accusing him of being a terrorist?
