<b>Not "very intelligent," but "very cunning." </b><BR>Being bold, daring and cunning are certainly traits that he posesses. I don't know if posessing those traits means that he is not intelligent. "Street Smarts" and "book smarts" are not mutually exclusive.<P><BR><b>Not "highly educated," but "highly trained." </b><BR>I would say he is primarily trained in a very technical field, but that he is also widely read in other areas too. He would be primarily familiar with his technical manuals, but he has also read Chaucer (or atleast the Cliff Notes).<P><b>Not "fairly wealthy," but "fairly resourceful."</b><BR>Well, sustained appliction of resourcefulness skills usually leads to becoming fairly wealthy, does it not? The man who has read all the Cliff Notes series but who has memorized all the Java Programming Texts is wealthy enough to apply his resourcefulness skills to the study of true crime and therefore learn to avoid detection and capture. By not making any mistakes, he remains at liberty to apply his resourcefulness to wealth building.<BR>
