Did the real Walter have his own scorpion team

Here is his IMDB page

Seems that he did create Scorpion

The degree to which his team was a team, or ever contributed to anything meaningfully us up for debate, but Walter O'Brien is a real guy who created a real company called Scorpion but as far as anyone can tell his only real skill that stands out is his ability to convince people with lots of money that he is really smart and they should give him some of it.

they doubtfully did anything like what they do in the show. They probably spent most of their time indoors working, many miles away from any action.

As far as I can figure out, he's nothing else than a typical Irish con-man. A lot of hot air, but not much to back all his claims up with.

- There's an old saying: "Don't trust an Irishman longer than you can throw him" which obviously is totally stereotypic, but I have a hunch it might apply in this chase.

Are all the other characters in his team also delusional, real, or non existent?.
As with so many series this is another sort of version of the way back Mission Impossible of the 1960s. Best laid plans going haywire and thinking on the move the underlying talent of our heroes. I still have a few seasons of LEVERAGE to watch.

The show has relied very much on the desire to save his sister from dying. Great sentiment and desire to use those [GOD given, he is Irish, FFS, super brain] talents. However we are 30 or so episodes into this AUTOBIOGRAPHY driven series and he has wasted much time on solving the problems of Homeland Security and other agencies whcih might ave been better used to cure his sister and the many who suffer similar health [fatal] problems. That was not a the pleasant story of his sister eventually dying, for me the viewer.

Having read the [can we beleive it] Wiki page about him I am inclined to question his self publicity. The questions are out there and unanswered. This is someone who should be a member of the Scientology tax dodgers. They are reticent about giving provable answers but here is the man who CAN explain it all for us NORMAL people.

The show itself seems to have been accepted by a part of the public so it did get more air time. The adrenaline rushes that the frequent gremlins in any given planned objective causing great shifts in sideways thinking must surely have worn their little hearts out. The lowly waitress with a sense of down play and normalising any given situation has been raised to an almost super powered lady. The young man playing the gifted son does not display an understanding of his particular role and I wonder just hoe many such as him do really exist other than as adult british hackers who suddenly are gifted with aspergers when extradition calls.

As I too get some form of rush even at 69 I will watch the show until it ends. It is not for any love of a poor paddy who avoided a certain covert culture in his priest led community. But as a relatively unbelievable action series of nerds outwitting those who would do western civilisation harm.

Just like the men who got Osama Bin Laden. Killed him and disposed of the body before full identification could be done for the rest of our satisfaction. No wonder we live in a world where Conspiracy theories bubble all the time. Usually all down to one little lie. Just like Roswell. I do not think of little grey men here but more along the lines of secret works being covered up.

It seems that if there was a team it did not get used as per series and that is the land of make beleive and that is how I watch the series.

I do enjoy a great deal of the dialogue especially Happy and Toby. McPhee is quite eye pleasing and very pleasantly shaped but I see some facial manipulation happening. I take little interest in her dialogue [as it seems to be inserted to make her character of importance, and probably due to the off screen liaison], cos I am a 69 year old lecher easily distracted by a lower body shape.

I think the real Walter ate his own Scorpion team.
