In the hours since the man formerly known as Shirtless FBI Agent was revealed to be 47-year-old Frederick W. Humphries II, a few details have emerged that suggest he’s less sleazy than previously believed. A Seattle Times reporter also received the e-mail in question, and elaborated on the New York Times’ earlier revelation that it involved dummies:
>The subject line read: “Which one is Fred?”The snapshot shows Humphries — bald, muscular and shirtless — standing between a pair of headless but equally buff and bullet-ridden target dummies on a shooting range.
The joke — over which was the dummy — has now backfired in ways he couldn’t have imagined on Sept. 9, 2010, when it was first sent.
While Humphries’s decision to tip off a congressman about an ongoing FBI investigation still seems questionable, in his defense, he once foiled a plot to blow up LAX.
