I listened to most of the of the Marketplace story about it. They spoke to his interpreter, and there didn't seem to be much there that wasn't fiction.
http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/ieconomy/acclaimed-ap... I can understand why they retracted it. The way it was presented gave the impression that these were actual experiences, when they just weren't. If it came with a disclaimer, it would have been better, but IMHO it needed a strong disclaimer.
