Oops! Penn Has Been Paying a Joe Biden Impersonator This Whole Time

OCTOBER 3, 2017 AT 1:58 PM

Amy Gutmann’s got a lot of explaining to do. Penn just discovered that the man they thought was former Vice President Joe Biden is a Joe Biden impersonator!

The man running the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement

is actually Carl Belmont of Cherry Hill, NJ.

Carl has been impersonating Joe Biden for more than four decades, ever since the real Joe was elected to the US Senate in 1974.

Now, Penn is investigating how it hired an impersonator to be the most popular celebrity professor on campus. A University inquiry is probing which other famous Penn faculty and alumni are actually impersonators. Adam Grant, Angela Duckworth, and John Legend are all targets.

When asked for a statement, Carl simply replied, “Carl Belmont? I don’t know him personally, but I fought for him and every other American taxpayer when I was Vice President of the United States.”

Belmont strongly rebuked the accusations. “We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society,” he said. “This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power."

“Barack Obama is my best friend and I love giving hugs,” he added.

According to his website, CupOfJoeEntertainment.com, Belmont is “America’s finest Joe Biden impersonator” and is “available for weddings, bar mitzvahs, and prestigious university professorships.”

No one is really sure what Joe Biden will be doing at Penn

Two weeks after the announcement that former Vice President Joe Biden will join Penn as a professor, administrators, professors and politically minded students alike are still confused about the nature of his role at the University.

On Feb. 7, Penn President Amy Gutmann announced that Biden will lead the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. as a "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor," but nearly a month later the administration seems unclear about what this means.

Many students thought Biden would be teaching courses at Penn, but Biden spokesperson Kate Bedingfield said he will not be teaching classes when she spoke to The Daily Pennsylvanian at the beginning of the month.

University spokesperson Stephen MacCarthy said the specifics of Biden’s role at Penn are still uncertain. He noted that his office wasn’t “able to have conversations around [Biden’s] specific role until he left office four weeks ago, so details are still being ironed out.”

Despite this ambiguity, many are excited by the idea of a former vice president working with the University. Penn Democrats Communications Director and College sophomore Erin Farrell said she is still shocked by the news of Biden joining Penn.

“I think that we’re all really excited by his decision,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to have hands-on experience working with him.”

Farrell added that Penn Dems is collectively awaiting Biden’s arrival. However, she is also still confused about what exactly his role will be.

“We know as little as everyone else on campus about what Biden will try to do here,” she said. “If he ever wants to speak to us, we, of course, would be very grateful.”

Members of the Penn in Washington program, which allows students to study in Washington, D.C. for a semester and helps them land a part-time internship in the city during that time, said they are also still trying to figure out what Biden’s decision to join Penn as a professor means.

However, PIW Director and professor Deirdre Martinez said she has a clearer idea of what Biden’s plans at Penn will look like.

“I [think] that he will be based out of Washington working towards foreign policy education,” Martinez said.

Although it was first reported that Biden was going to focus on the Cancer Moonshot initiative, which he launched at Penn in 2015, Martinez noted that Biden decided to pay more attention to diplomacy-based work in the nation’s capital rather than on Penn’s campus.

Martinez also affirmed that Biden is expected to play a critical role in improving existing organizations at Penn, like the Penn in Washington program.

“Having that positive presence [at Penn] probably means that people will look at the PIW program more than they might have a year or two ago,” Martinez said.

Second-year Penn Law School student Jennifer Reich, who founded a student group in January dedicated to bringing Biden to Penn, said she was unsure about Biden’s day-to-day responsibilities as a Penn professor. She noted, however, that being based out of Washington could provide Biden the opportunity to make an impact on the national level.

Secret 'dark net' operation saves scores of children from abuse; ringleader Shannon McCoole behind bars after police take over child porn site

7.30 /

By the National Reporting Team's Mark Willacy

Posted TueTuesday 25 AugAugust 2015 at 6:49pm, updated WedWednesday 26 AugAugust 2015 at 8:38pm

Scores of children have been saved from abuse after an elaborate sting by Queensland Police led to the identification and arrest of key members of a global online sex abuse network.

The 10-month operation led to the arrests of members in Australia and around the world.

Key points:

Police sting resulted in identification of offenders worldwide

Site ringleader was ex-Families SA carer Shannon McCoole

Unusual "hiyas" greeting unmasked McCoole

Police took control of network after arrest

Investigators say it identified and saved "potentially hundreds" of children who were being abused.

Queensland's anti-paedophile taskforce Argos targeted an internet bulletin board which had 45,000 members.

Users were ranked according to the volume and originality of the child exploitation material they uploaded to the site.

The board was hosted on the part of the internet known as the "dark net", which uses encryption software to hide identities and mask people's browsing history.

The site, the name of which remains suppressed by the South Australian District Court, was administered by an anonymous Australian.

He was later unmasked as Adelaide childcare worker Shannon McCoole.

This month, the Families SA employee was sentenced to 35 years in jail for sexually abusing at least seven children in his care and for transmitting child pornography on the internet.

McCoole's victims were in state care, and were as young as 18 months old. The oldest was three. The sentencing judge at McCoole's trial described him as "evil and depraved".

He shared images and videos of his abuse of children on the site he administered.

McCoole was arrested last year after a manhunt that involved law enforcement agencies around the world.

Unusual 'hiyas' greeting key to arrests

The key breakthroughs in the case were made by Taskforce Argos which pieced together clues about McCoole's identity by cross-matching an unusual online greeting used by the childcare worker.

"He used [the greeting 'Hiyas'] on messages on the board, as a greeting to other members on the board," Taskforce Argos Victim Identification co-ordinator Paul Griffiths said.

"It sort of stuck in my mind as something that didn't look that common to me. So I focused on that."

Mr Griffiths searched for the greeting online, narrowing down a huge list of its users until he found a Facebook page and a photograph of a Volkswagen four-wheel drive utility.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Shannon+McCoole&iax=images&ia=images

cont:

"[The Facebook page] did point us in the direction of Adelaide," Mr Griffiths said.

"I actually found him asking questions online about how to raise the suspension of his four-wheel drive."

Using the visible registration plate on the 4WD, police came up with a name — Shannon McCoole. Background checks immediately rang alarm bells

"He was a 32-year-old male. Lived alone, no real relationship or no recent partners from what we've gathered," Detective Brevet Sergeant Stephen Hegarty of SA's Sex Crimes Investigation Branch said.

"He'd immersed himself in child-related work."

"It was evident he was working for Families SA as a family care worker," Mr Griffiths said.

"[It was] almost panic stations at that point because he's in a real position of control and access to children that we just can't allow to continue at all."

McCoole was immediately put under surveillance.

Four days after he was identified, police knocked on his door and arrested him.

Inside they found evidence — including metadata on a camera and a freckle on McCoole's finger matching one in images of abuse — that proved he was the head administrator of the global abuse site and an active sexual abuser of children in his care.

Phase two: assuming control to 'cage the rats'

With McCoole in custody, Queensland's Taskforce Argos then activated phase two of the operation.

"Phase two was to take over the network, assume control of the network, try to identify as many of the key administrators as we could and remove them," Detective Inspector Jon Rouse said.

"Ultimately, you had a child sex offender network that was being administered by police."

But Detective Inspector Rouse said there was no way his team was going to allow the sexual abuse of children to go on.

"We closed membership [of the site]. Nobody gets in. We didn't let any new membership come in. Effectively we caged the rats."

Two officers from Taskforce Argos secretly assumed the online identity of Shannon McCoole, working around the clock for 10 months to dismantle the paedophile ring and identify abusers.

"This wasn't an 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday-to-Friday operation. Even when the guys knocked off work we were all communicating outside work," Detective Inspector Rouse said.

"[Assuming the identity of a child sex offender] can mess with your head. It's not something you want to do for really long protracted periods of time. It's inordinately challenging."

Detective Inspector Rouse said the sting resulted in the identification of paedophiles around the world.

"US, Europe, United Kingdom. [It was] global," he said.

"It's testimony to the work done by the team at Argos to make sure we were working in real time with those [international] agencies to execute search warrants.

"This required us engaging with those targets in real time while law enforcement went through doors. [There were] time zone challenges, but good work by authorities across the world."

The operation has also resulted in the arrests of suspected paedophiles in Australia.

"I won't give specific numbers, but there were several in South Australia, several in Victoria and in Queensland as well," Detective Inspector Rouse said.

But the head of Taskforce Argos said the true success of the sting should not be measured in arrests alone.

"I think in terms of the identification of child victims, that's what it was all about. There were a lot of kids that are in a better place now because of what happened across the globe."
