Aug. 26, 2005 “I don’t need any money.” That’s what Beth Holloway quoted as the response given by Deepak Kalpoe when she confronted him at his job and reminded him about the $250,000 reward for her whereabouts and the $1 million for Natalee Holloway's safe return. Boy, if that isn’t telling of wrong-doing… Suppose the CIA appeared at your job and asked you “hey, we just want to remind you that there’s a $25 million dollar reward for the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden.” Would it EVER occur to you to reply “I don’t need any money?” Of course not. For starters, that response would imply you knew his whereabouts, otherwise the money isn’t subject to you turning it down. Is there a snowball’s chance in hell that anyone who was truly clueless would respond that way? No, it’s virtually impossible because to respond that way requires the ability to earn the reward money in the first place. Someone who is truly unaware of the answer is never in the position to collect the reward money, much less decide to turn it down. Someone unaware might say “I have no idea where wacko Osama Bin Laden is” or “man, I wish I knew where that guy was – I could use that kind of cash” or “you’ve got the wrong person – you guys really do suck at reconnaissance” or “I don’t even begin to know what you’re talking about” or “is this a joke, am I being ‘Punked’?” But it’s truly outside the realm of possibility that someone without the mandatory knowledge would say “I don’t need any money.” That response is counter-intuitive. It means you know where Osama is and have already considered the $25 million bucks but decided against it, as shopping wouldn’t be very productive with that gaping hole in your brain after the fatwa on your head. So in that case, you might say “I don’t need any money.” For Deepak Kalpoe, a man in-the-know, it was a slip-up. Deepak’s already entertained a similar scenario and decided that a quarter of a million bucks means squat if he’s in shackles the rest of his life. So he turned it down. ------------ About the author: Jane Hill is a prolific writer and researcher and is working on a children's book, Nonje in Crampons.
