Hello guys, i found this very weird e-mail from the podsta e-mails with an attachment which isn't from the person who write the e-mail himself.
Georgetown Law Faculty and Staff,
My parents are visiting this weekend, and I need to sell my enormous collection of beanie babies! I've approximately 480 little creatures of joy, and I'm selling each one for $20.00. You must buy all 480, though. It is a collection (not an auction)... They are very respectful and amicable with one another, and they are (for the most part) cat and dog friendly. Some are sassier than others, naturally.
Please let me know! My parents can't find out.

So, this was the mail and just read it... whathefuck? It had an attachment containing this collection of beanie babies: see here.
I really didn't get the purpose of this e-mail and i started to search further and i found that the photo has been posted April 3, 2014 while the mail was sent on July 30, 2015
I found the photo on this website who posted it earlier (this was just a quick search, it's probably even older): see here.
Why would someone send such a weird e-mail and add a photo which isn't his?

I did a rough count -- I counted 40 on the top row, and 12 rows = 480... wasn't expecting my estimation to be spot on. Maybe that's all this guy did?
Either this guy did the same thing in an effort to make his story plausible, or these really are his beanie babies...
Can we determine for certain that this picture doesn't belong to this guy?

Yep thats not 480 there are more than that or maybe 1 or 2 less who knows but I got the same number as you and in auditing thats what we would call suspect. No way that its 480 spot on.
