No one has looked more into Gus's posts than I have. I never found any post of him claiming to have outed Quinn. Gus always claimed that he never outed anyone. The only thing I found was a post about some dumb bitch that said she was an employee of a college when she wasn't.

I couldn't find a post by Gus about Castro either. Dennis just kept repeating this stuff and no one bothered to check. Everyone just kind of went along in hopes that it would fuck Gus up right where he lived.
Gus is a pompous ass but repeating this kind of crap without proof is fucked up. That's what they do. If anything by Gus about Quinn or Castro could have been found it would have all over the military forums and here too.
Gus claims that he never outed anyone? What about Gus' claim about Coach McCoggle?

Gus has played this game for a long time and I'll give him credit, he's done it well. He has fostered a climate wherever he's been in which "outing" someone is cloaked in an aura of respectability. He has made it seem like an exercise in altruism and civic-mindedness instead of what it really is, a mean-spirited attempt to destroy someone's life in a public arena.
This McCoggle sounds like a crook and a first-class scumbag and was properly prosecuted and convicted. If we take Sainz' account at face value*, what does it say about Gus that he feels the need to publicly take credit for McCoggle's downfall? I love his slant on the story, he initially spoke with McCoggle as a concerned parent because his kid, a straight A student (naturally), got F's in phys-ed for not wearing the required uniform to gym class. The excuse was that the uniform was stolen from son's locker located by the teacher's office, implying that the teacher may have had a hand in the theft of used gym clothes or was otherwise negligent for not safeguarding the locker. To make things even worse, there were no replacement uniforms available in his son's size. Isn't that terrible?
Sainz painted a picture of McCoggle as an uncaring educator and greedy a$$hole, which he may well have been. In the process Gus made himself the heroic protagonist, in his own words "an educational credential and degree mill researcher", who attempted to right a wrong but was rebuffed by an uncaring, boastful and corrupt teacher and an uncaring school administration. Gus then leaves it to the readers' imagination to figure out that he went to the Miami-Dade police and exposed a countywide scandal. The beauty of this tale is that Gus then used it
to account for his previously unexplained absence from DI!!!
(see my poll in the Gus Sainz section of this forum to get an idea on where people think Gus may have really been during his "absences")
Miami-Dade teacher's scandal
* Someone at the old Military Forums posted a name and contact number for the Miami-Dade lead detective on this case as well as links to the
Miami Herald articles on this scandal. The name "Gus Sainz" didn't appear anywhere. Further, the post claimed that based on the location of Sainz' home, his son wouldn't have attended the high school in question (Palmetto Senior High) unless he had used a different street address. Since that would have constituted fraud, I'm sure that Gus would have never done anything like that.
