I leave for a week and this happens? BushKE made himself a public figure so he can't keep teasing us with his disappearing and reappearing acts!
I don't know what to make of the current state of affairs, but I have a feeling it is nothing like he is describing. The only way a job offer expires is if he did not give them word he was coming soon enough and they hired someone else or he was scammed again and either quit his current job or was fired and made up this elaborate story to cover it up.
I'd guess a week too.
