    I used to manage a small pet store owned by a veterinarian: we were always very careful about any imported reptiles/amphibians, and would only buy domestically bred species, which are usually more expensive. At the time it was common knowledge in that type of business that of 100 illegally imported animals for resale, 90 will die in transit. It's a hideous situation.

      They do have training that’s why they stopped him. It’s nothing personal against him. They deal with people that act the same but not because of autism. They try to swallow drugs and they act very similar they are just doing their jobs. If you actually watch this show you’ll see a ton of people acting like Jeff but then they get worse and worse. Jeff didn’t get worse but they have to do there jobs that they are trained to do. Also when he starts being stand offish it’s also something criminals do. Not blaming Jeff at all. It super sucks for him but he has the mannerisms of criminals they deal with daily. If they let everyone acting like Jeff through because of potential autism they wouldnt catch many criminals. You should have more understanding. You have no idea what they are trained for or what the job they have to do is like. You just want to choose your outrage instead of looking at the bigger picture.

      He would have had a tough time since they didn't have a record of him ever having an Australian passport before the one he was using.
      And I get how he could have done it with a single fraudulent birth certificate copy. Before 1986, Australia had jus soli birthright citizenship, so just being born in Australia was sufficient. Just with a birth certificate he could have established his entire identity, although anyone whose primary language was English would have found his story nearly impossible given that English wasn't exactly fluent and he sounded like someone who learned English in a Chinese-speaking country.

      Ever saw The Killing Fields? It was apparently from a real-life plan where they altered a British passport (from a friend who had a spare) and the very Cambodian Dith Pran was practicing saying his new name (in his thick accent) in order to get out of Cambodia. Now that was wild. That was back when photos were glued to the photo page and they were hoping that they might not notice there was no embossing. But apparently the photo they used faded and he was refused.
      However, his purported birthdate was when Australia still had jus soli (right of the soil) citizenship, so a forged birth certificate alone might have been adequate to establish an identity as an Australian citizen.

I assume the card says $10,000AUD. Again, best bet is to declare it, even if you're not sure. If you're carrying a large sum of cash (that guy had $7,000USD), he should have declared.

      I suppose it might be possible to have some sort of preclearance. I know that the United States does that at airports in Canada and Ireland. It even allows for some international flights to go to airports that don't have customs.

      He was criminally charged and convicted. It says he got a suspended sentence. They deported him rather than make him serve a jail sentence.
      It seems pretty simple. He obtained a fake birth certificate, or possibly used a real stolen birth certificate, although that seems less likely if they couldn't find another Mark Lau with the same date of birth. With a birthdate of 1979, that would have been when Australia had jus soli citizenship without regard to parental status. So he could have been able to use that to establish identity including his Medicare card and passport.

    To be honest I would not have thought about the money having to be in Australian rates not American... especially if it doesn't specify that on the card. That's not as good of a gotcha question as you think. The American embassy can debunk that pretty easily. They'll tell you without specification... we just don't think that way. And a lot of people ARE dumb enough to still carry large amounts of cash overseas.
    Maybe another country that would be a valid gotcha question but not for Americans. They don't teach us this stuff. It's why I think you should have to pass an intelligence test to leave the U.S. Lol

      I've heard of people who were born in a country, then went back to the place of origin of the parents, and then back to where they were born. Bruce Lee would be a prime example. The actor James Hong was born in the United States, went to Hong Kong, and came back to the United States for high school. But even today he speaks English with a noticeable Cantonese accent.
      But someone claiming to have been born and raised in Australia whose English is that poor? Does not compute. His accent speaking English didn't even remotely sound Australian. It sounded exactly like someone who took English lessons in China and who still has issues with grammar, plural, he/she, etc.
