As for Saleem Rasheed, I'm shocked. I always took him to be an upstanding being (his bro went to Duke). I don't think he grew up in a welfare-dependent familly.

THIS. He was one of the last I would have ever expected to get caught up in something like this. He was actually really smart grade wise and sounded very intelligent any time he was interviewed. Intelligence doesn't always equal wisdom though and Rasheed apparently is a perfect example. SMART people often think they're smarter than the system. I went to high school with an absolutely brilliant guy that unfortunately had a crafty streak and thought he was smarter than the law enforcement officers he worked with in high school as a part time job. He thought he could forge employee checks and got busted. Sometimes it's better to be WISE than too SMART for your own good.
