The former Dana-Farber researcher and Harvard University professor allegedly bilked 35 students, co-workers, friends and Internet pals out of $600,000 he claimed would help launch a SARS research institute in China.

Xu claims he used the money to invest in a questionable Nigerian business offer he received via e-mail that promised a $50 million profit.

what's just as bad as the teacher believing the email, the students believed the teacher

Granted he's a prof he's "supposed" to know what he's doing... but goes to show you can't trust anybody
