A doctor’s note wouldn’t do?
The student accused of making bomb threats that shut down the Harvard University campus earlier this week reportedly did it to avoid taking his finals.
Eldo Kim, 20, sent emails to police, two university officials and the president of the Harvard Crimson newspaper saying bombs had been placed around the campus, according to a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. attorney’s office.
Kim’s email described the fake shrapnel bombs, saying they would go off in two of four buildings, including one where prosecutors say Kim was supposed to take his final exam at 9 a.m. Monday.
The affidavit says Kim told an agent on Monday night he had acted alone and sent the messages to five or six Harvard email addresses he picked at random.
He said he sent them about half an hour before he was scheduled to take a final in Emerson Hall, one of the buildings threatened, the affidavit says. He said he was in Emerson at 9 a.m. when a fire alarm sounded and he knew his plan had worked, it says.
Kim said he sent the emails from his laptop computer using TOR and Guerrilla Mail, a free Internet application that creates temporary and anonymous email addresses, the affidavit says.
The maximum penalties for a bomb hoax are five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, prosecutors said. Kim is to make an appearance in court on Wednesday.
Damn, bet if he had it back, Kim would just study and take the exam.
