I agree with repentance, but I don't really think that the level of detail is overkill, seems like he just told the story from beginning to end, leaving nothing of consequence out. That's usually how you tell a story. Especially a story where all eyes are on you in a bar over a few hours. I don't think he'd incriminate himself in his home town but being on the other side of the world he could.

It's the nature of the details that are suspicious. Is he really stashing platinum and swiss francs in a Swiss bank? I somehow doubt it. I could believe the box in Dallas but this whole international playboy stuff is like something out of a movie.

Also the private detective thing, I think that would be totally pointless. All a private detective could do is find his current location. And then what? Seems like it wouldn't help much. Didn't people have an address in Texas for him anyway? For all we know he could still be there.
