Dr. He must be very clever!

Perhaps he has a PhD in Law? Or, he may have studied multiple
disciplines.


He was certainly smart enough to scam the idiotic Oyster system. You have to
hand it to the guy - he saved himself 20K. The only reason he was caught is
because he handed himself in. I doubt they'd have bothered to trace him
otherwise - after all, at the time as far as they were concerned he'd simply
been charged maximum fare for not touching in.
