New York (CMR) - Last week the internet was abuzz when two men from Georgia claimed to have found a dead body of the legendary Bigfoot.

At a press conference  last Friday, Bigfoot hunters, Mark Whitton and Rick Dyer along with Tom Biscardi of Searching For Bigfoot Inc, offered no evidence of their findings but promised that more DNA tests were being conducted.

On Tuesday Members of Searching For Bigfoot Inc. revealed  that they had paid “an undisclosed sum” to Whitton and Dyer to control publicity surrounding the dead Bigfoot.

In a statement on the group’s Web site, SearchingForBigfoot.com, owners Tom Biscardi and Robert Schmalzbach examined the alleged Bigfoot body, two days after the press conference, only to discover it was a fake.

“Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. … I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot,” wrote Steve Kulls, a self-described “Sasquatch detective” who accompanied Biscardi and Schmalzbach during their examination of the body.

However, bfro.net explains that Tom Biscardi is a known hoaxer and should not be taken seriously.

From bfro.net:

The kingpin hoaxer of the “Georgia bigfoot body” — Biscardi — will, thankfully, never be taken seriously by the press ever again. But today he and his long-time associate, Steve Kulls (the “Sasquatch Detective” — Kulls is a former shopping mall security guard), are making another ludicrous attempt to regain the media spotlight.

After Biscardi was publicly busted and humiliated in 2005 for a different version of a bigfoot body hoax, he claimed he was “hoodwinked” by some bad people who had deceived him (all the while he was raking in money from a phony pay-per-view “surveillance” project).

As of today, August 20, 2008, Biscardi is trying to get back on Fox News … in order to emotionally announce that he was “hoodwinked” … again …

Today Biscardi claims he is “planning to take legal action against Whitton and Dyer” … in a futile attempt to forestall legal action against himself, by prosecutors, for fraud.

    Tom Biscardi is well known for perpetrating Bigfoot hoaxes.

    He was in on the scam from the start and is just a rat scurrying from a sinking ship. He should drown with it.

Got something to say?
