Five days before he was arrested, Randy Guthrie posted an extended personal ad and photos of himself on a Russian bride site. Excerpts:
Age: 38
Date of Birth: January 29, 1967
Zodiac: Aquarius
Height: 187 cm 6'1.6"
Occupation: Business owner
Education: MS & MBA from Columbia University
Religion: Christian
Marital Status: Single
Kids: None
My Family: I have a very large extended family that is held together by a family business. We own a bank, Bessemer Trust.
The Place I Live: I own a three-bedroom penthouse with an indoor area of 230 square meters. Shanghai is a very cosmopolitan and vibrant city, and there are lots of things to do and enjoy. I know that many women would much prefer to live in the US rather than in Shanghai, but I am not going to live in Shanghai forever. I came to China because I thought that it would be an interesting place to live with many business opportunities and so far I have not been wrong.
My personality: I am a very straightforward person. I can seem too straightforward to people who do not know me well, but my friends consider me a good and loyal friend and know they can count on me in any situation. I do not lie or take advantage of people, and it really turns me off when somebody lies or tries to take advantage of me. I am not a dreamer and know what I want.'
