Prison Break: General Comment
How smart is Michael Scofield? All I can say is that this guy should have had his own money waiting on the outside after the prison break, and not be relying completely on the DB Cooper money.
I mean think about it. He is apparently this very successful architect. We've seen the office and his residence. This guy was not living day to day. In addition, he seems to have an IQ that would make the folks at Mensa seem like the remedial class.
Why then is it not logical that in all of the meticulous planning that he did to break his brother out of jail, that he didn't arrange some cash? An ATM tied to the account of a person whose social security number he stole? An untraceable safety deposit box key with all of teh markings filed off and left with someone like the girl who brought him the fake credit card?
Moreover, when they all found the money in the basement, why not stuff a wad of bills in the pockets of each of the guys present, and plan to split the rest later? At least then, they would have some walking around money.
The above rantings aside, I like the show not just because Scofield is smart (most of the time), but because now he actually has an adversary that plays at his level. It'll be interesting to see if the blackmailed FBI agent can continue to be protected by the sonspiracy group, now that IA is noticing that the convicts aren't getting brought in, they are just getting dead.
