A 20-year-old Harvard student who was allegedly trying to dodge a final exam has been charged in Monday's bomb hoax that led to four buildings being evacuated and several final exams being canceled, CBS in Boston reports.
Eldo Kim allegedly emailed bogus bomb threats to the Harvard University Police Department and student newspaper the Harvard Crimson. He's due in court Wednesday.
He reportedly admitted to FBI investigators that he was the one who sent the emails. Kim tried to conceal his identity using one service that assigns people anonymous IP addresses and another that creates an anonymous and temporary email account, according to the federal complaint.
Kim was allegedly "motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam scheduled to be held on December 16," the complaint states.
And who among us didn't know that one of the students taking that exam had called this one in? duh, the oldest trick in the book hey?

Harvard's website describes Kim as an undergraduate studying psychology. He was at one point a dancer for the Harvard Breakers and said that in his free time he "enjoys playing pool, trying new restaurants, watching terrible cult films, and playing with his Mini Schnauzer puppy."
