Lazar has provided no evidence of alien life or technology, and his claims about his education and employment history are replete with fabrications. Lazar also has several criminal convictions: he was convicted in 1990 for his involvement in a [[prostitution]] ring, and again in 2006 for selling illegal chemicals.
