It always struck me as weird.
On the one hand I can understand that some people are inclined to tittering glee over 'fooling' everybody and hoaxing something. It's a vanity/ego thing. And often it is very much funny. Presuming no one gets hurt.
But to dedicate oneself to a life surrounding the continuation of the hoax seems more like an obsession, a passion, a life-long 'hobby', or a genuine 'job.'
It seems unreasonable to point at one guy, or even two, (or three and four) and say "They hoaxed us" when their is no way on earth they could possibly account for the literal thousands of sighting and encounters across the globe over decades and decades. It has similarity with crop-circle phenomena in that regard.
I feel the jury is still, ultimately, "out" on the potential for a relatively large hominid creature surviving over time, undiscovered... but that is not to say that some might not find it profitable or desirable to exploit such a belief.
The bigfoot suit controversy seems superfluous... as it can only address a single instance (or two) of the story. It seems a lot of effort, for a chuckle here or there.
