Biscardi Hoodwinked Again

Today, Wednesday, August 20, 2005, Tom Biscardi appeared on Fox News and was interviewed by Megyn Kelly:

Tom Biscardi can’t get his stories straight. One time he tells people he touched the Georgia “body” and other times he says he only saw it through ice.

In August 2005, Tom Biscardi said he had a Bigfoot in captivity. Biscardi made several Coast to Coast AM radio appearances, having people buy, via the internet, the $19.95/week registrations and $59.95 “passes” to see Biscardi’s pay-per-view videostreaming and the promised views of “his” captive Bigfoot.

But then Biscardi turned up, when the scheme collapsed, on Coast to Coast AM to say that he was “hoodwinked.”

“Biscardi Statement
First hour guest, Tom Biscardi offered an explanation and apology related to his earlier claims (made on Friday’s show) that he had a Bigfoot in captivity. He now says he was misled by an acquaintance of his colleague, Peggy Marx. The acquaintance, who lives in Stagecoach, Nevada, had told them of an injured Bigfoot that was being cared for by two veterinarians. As the details of her story began to unravel, Biscardi said he eventually concluded that her reports were false.”

Biscardi said it was a story from a woman in Stagecoach, Nevada. He never had a video, never saw the Bigfoot, and there probably never was a Bigfoot. He kept using the word “hoodwinked.”

“Biscardi is a Las Vegas promoter and a showman, and he’s doing it again,” Coleman said. “That’s what he’s really good at. It’s like, ‘Would you like to come into my tent? I’ll show you this one picture. Isn’t that interesting? Pay me to see more.'”
…
“He’s already gone through several hoaxes,” Coleman said. “We always say, ‘This is the end of Biscardi. He’s never coming back.’ I mean, the man has nine lives.”
