Complicating Mr. Papadopoulos' effort to clear his name is that fact that he's in Greece right now, according to a tweet, visiting him mother. His mistaken identity could continue all day on Monday, which would mean into the wee hours of the morning in Greece, which is six hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time. Mr. Papadopoulos did not respond to a request for comment. A fee-only adviser, Mr. Papadopoulos has a fairly high profile in the financial advice field. He's a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal wealth management experts blog, and a vocal member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors. He also is a prolific tweeter, who even found time Monday to post a couple of times about investor psychology and debt. For the moment, he would probably like a lower profile. But one of his followers suggested he use the mistaken identity incident to his professional advantage.George Papadopoulos is to Greeks what John Smith is to the English. leave this George alone!
