Mainstream media:

I received an email on Wednesday asking if I would make myself available for an interview with a major Slovak weekly magazine, Plus 7 dní. I replied in the affirmative right away. Several hours later, I got a message back saying that the magazine would not be writing on this topic at this time. Someone’s story idea got shot down by an editor.

News sites:

My jaw dropped to see my own story featured as the lead item on the December 16 issue of Strike the Root. Wow. I’m honored.

Baexpats (Buenos Aires expat forum): Divorce with USA (press release, generally unfriendly discussion)

Anywhere in the world, if a smoking hot, rich, brilliant, funny, creative, intellectually curious, athletic, caring, considerate woman is willing to put up with a guy like me so that she can have permanent legal access to the USA, I’m totally game. Why would someone take such a valuable commodity and flush it down the toilet?

Oh noes! My chances with shallow, opportunistic women seeking to realize their princess dreams by hooking up with rich foreigners have been totally ruined!
