From house arrest in Argentina, convicted drug smuggling UNC Chapel Hill professor Paul Frampton is making a claim on the university for back pay, benefits, and compensation for suffering. The 69-year-old says this whole situation was just a big misunderstanding and that he thought he was traveling to meet a bikini model. Yes, you read that right — a bikini model. It is troubling – to put it mildly – that he believes he should still be getting a check from the university, which stopped his pay last year. And in case you’re wondering more about that cocaine allegation and the misunderstanding:
At 11:19 a.m., Frampton sent Milani an email, according to The New York Times: “This stuff is worth nothing in Bolivia, but $Ms in Europe. You meet me at the airport and we do not go near the hotel the ‘agent’ suggested. Stay at another hotel.” At 11:47 a.m., there was another text message: “Monday arrival changed. You must not tell the coca-goons.”
