Wow that was an awesome story...i actually read all of it
Lot's of weird, unanswered questions though.
Like Max said, why was the book in the back of the mens car?
What does the code say?
What's the significance of the orange thread?
7th Rubaiyat and only 5 copies were released?
Why did the unknown man wear high heels?
Why did Jestyn almost faint when shown the picture of the man, what was the connection there?
So far, it seems like the most logical thing was he was poisoned through the tobacco in his cigarettes like stated.
Damn

I've read about this before, and I assume it was a result of Cold War espionage.
It was a crazy time back then.

That's what spies do so they can't be identified by any means.

As crazy as this story sounds, I bet they're a bunch of intelligence officers in the know laughing at the attention this story gets.
Imagine if it was a just a bunch of spies trolling on some, "Hey, you know that dude we have to take care of, what if...", shenanigans ensue.

Probably a spy or con man something like that with no family etc. Probably was tied to some underground organization like the mafia, maybe he F'd up and had to kill himself.
He was probably a real smart guy, kept his identity hidden all the time.

I was thinking about that...obvious choice would be a detective. They could come up with some sort of story for the "unknown man" and run with it from that angle but that would take the mystery out of it. If they did choose to give the unknown a story they could have two stories ("unkown man" going through whatever leads up to his death and the detective trying to solve the case) working out side by side throughout the film....Originally Posted by enlightenedespot

wiki 2011 story update.... "the code was considered unbreakable until the day the story was posted on a sneaker forum, NIKETALK."
LETS DO IT YALL. We can be famous.
A movie would be doper if you had DiCaprio play the dead guy, and ever possible death scenario was a look back into how it played out.
With the final being the best/coolest one suggesting he's a spy. The final could take up an hr while the others were like 5-10 mins.
^ yall don't bite my *$**.
