Maybe someone can elaborate further. The article author assumes it is a common knowledge term, though in the context described in the article, it seems that it is in reference to something particular in the story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gillwill ( talk • contribs) 00:36, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure that we can say that Jack's being convicted for a sexual encounter is a reference to the Genarlow Wilson case. Stross makes absolutely no connections to Wilson's case and the circumstances are very different between Jack's and Wilson's cases. Bc.rox.all ( talk) 15:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Ummm... in the true spirit of irony, the email at the end from a Nigerian banker is NOT a 419 scam: that's where Hackman stashed his ill-gotten gains.
Funniest ending ever!
