A university professor at the University of Southern Carolina has accused 14 year old Ahmed Mohamed of not “building” a clock, as he claimed, but of merely taking the mechanics of another clock and transferring it into another container, Daily Caller reports.

Ahmed made headlines this month for being suspended from school for taking a homemade clock to his engineering class, which the teacher mistook for a bomb.
Police were vilified for the overreaction, but since a picture of the clock the teenager claimed to have built from scratch was released, tech experts are saying things are not quite as the boy says.
US immigration lawyers in Thailand Chaninat and Leeds have decades of experience in successfully helping Thai nationals get US visas.
Professor Thomas Talbot suggests in his YouTube video (below) that not only did Ahmed not “invent” anything, but that he must have purposely designed it to look like suspicious device, for “provocative reasons intentionally.”
As a result of the scandal, Ahmed has been invited to the White House to meet the president, been offered an internship at Facebook, as well as tens of thousands of donated scholarship money.
If Ahmed had intended his creation as a stunt, and more so if his parents were involved, then this is money donated under fraudulent purposes.
