The dude had mental issues. The interviews I saw of him, his responses were childlike and intellectually stunted and all the while, the Cambridge faculty was fawning all over him and calling him the most brilliant man they'd ever seen.
For no other reason than he was black. No similarly situated white man would ever have been feted like that by the Cambridge elite.
He even plagiarized his resignation letter in the middle of a scandal where he
was accused of plagiarism. It was like something out of a SEINFELD episode.
From the videos I've seen, being black was only part of his "charm": he also claimed to be neuro-divergent. He insisted that he had been unable
to speak until he was 11 and that he'd only learned to read and write
when he was 18. (However, there have been TikToks from people claiming
to have gone to the same school and church with him that says he was a chatty fellow when they knew him in the years he was supposedly unable
to speak.) Two years later, he was in university! When the Cambridge
elites became aware of him, in the wake of George Floyd when the
"activists" were demanding more "representation", they must have felt
like they just won the diversity lottery: Arday seemed to tick just
about EVERY diversity box, not just "black". How could they resist such
an opportunity to virtue-signal their own benevolence?

From TMZ:

# The British press also raised doubts about Arday's assertions
# that he collected $7.4 million in charity money by winning
# athletic competitions, claiming at one point he ran 30
# marathons in 35 days.
How could anyone ever have believed that?
Interesting that the British press got involved. I wonder what
set the Times of London on the scent?
Arday's memoir was published in the US yesterday; it might be worth a
read if you're in the mood for a rollicking good fantasy like those of
Baron von Munchausen or Walter Mitty....

This whole thing seems sad to me. He comes off as childlike. I
wonder if he fully understood what he was doing.

scare the media into backing off somewhat. He also called the police on several occasions to accuse people of harassing him when they challenged some of his claims. That doesn't seem very childlike to me.
The thing we may never truly know is whether he actually believed
everything he said about himself, suggesting he was genuinely
delusional, or whether he cynically invented this stuff, knowing it was false but doubting anyone would ever check up on him. There is some
reason to believe it was the latter in the Wikipedia article:
========================================================================= When Bakare challenged Arday on a lack of evidence for some of his
claims, Arday said: "To be honest with you, I thought you'd just believe
me. Why would I lie?"[7] ==========================================================================
If you look at the bit of his work that is mentioned in the Wikipedia article, he seems to be a British Ibrahim X. Kendi: in other words, just another race grifter.
There was talk last week of Cambridge students who'd studied under him
suing the university for his allegedly poor teaching. For instance, some people signed up for a 4 hour (per week?) seminar with him hoping to
learn at the feet of the master, but he'd only lecture for an hour of
that and even that hour was mostly his musings on pop culture of the
90s. Unless Cambridge does a massive house-cleaning and brings back a
strict meritocracy, their reputation will take a major hit, just as
other major institutions have suffered, like Harvard when its president
had to resign over her own plagiarism scandal.
I sincerely hope Cambridge learns from its mistake in embracing DEI and reverts to the meritocratic place it was for such a long time. Of course that meritocracy MUST also be completely blind to the ethnicity and intersectionality of its staff, otherwise they are undermining their credibility in other ways.
He was adult enough to hire a law firm that specialized in libel to
scare the media into backing off somewhat. He also called the police on several occasions to accuse people of harassing him when they challenged some of his claims. That doesn't seem very childlike to me.

It could be. That reminds me of going to an adult, especially the
second one.
I don't know much about the guy. I only saw some pictures and
short clips. That's not much info, and he could be a real snake.
It was just an impression.
