Impersonation
In 2004, Richardson was apparently inadvertently impersonated by a British University of Oxford engineering undergraduate by the same name, who took up an offer to perform a series of lectures in Beijing. The student used an A-level t textbook to "blag" through two days of lectures before fleeing from his Chinese audience and interpreter.[12][13]
