So, disgraced charlatan, would-be human cloner Hwang Wu-suk, who burned through more than 2000 eggs (some unethically procured), resulting in no cloned embryos or cloned embryonic stem cell lines, and who lied cruelly to the world before justly crashing and burning, is blaming his subordinates for lying to him about his failed experiments. He’s not only a crook, but a sniveling crook. He also claims to have worked with the Russian Mafia to procure mammoth DNA in a failed attempt to clone one of the extinct pachyderms. And, he took millions from the government to fund this travesty, for which he is up on criminal charges in South Korea.

If found guilty, he belongs in jail. For lying to the world about having cloned human embryos, he deserves a prominent spot in the science hall of infamy.
