Some people say that what Walter O'Brien says about himself and his "Scorpion" group is not true and I think that in great part they might be right.

Also looking at the "Scorpion" T.V. show that they say that is based on Walter O'Brien's life it seems to me that some or a lot of the stuff there is fake, I mean that it was not based on reality.

I don't know for sure, but I don't remember ever hearing about Walter O'Brien and "Scorpion" before the T.V. show, but maybe I just forgot about it.

Walter O'Brien does have an Internet site and he does seem to have an "Scorpion" group.
