Very interdasting read.
Roscoe nails it.
Papadopoulos and his wife's constant self-promotion may not be illegal or unethical, but it is
TACKY AS HELL
In my part of the country, that's the worst condemnation you can utter.
It covers a lot of ground, it isn't outright profanity, but boy, does it burn.
Anyone who doesn't know WHY is an outsider, and by definition, also tacky.

Same personality trait that made him a target for the entire plot.
Not really a patsy, but appears to be a useful idiot who has occasionally done a good deed at yelling "look, a squirrel" in Mifsud's direction. Also called attention to the Rome/Link Campus connections.
As substantially and actually USEFUL people go, Giulio Occhionero is a vastly better figure in all this.
