Why do people consider him a genius? he's a quite good liar. Definitely not a smart guy.

if i was a millionaire, why would i murder someone on my own, that also when i am being investigated. Moreover, when the problem could have been settled on by dropping few millions, why dirty my hand

Black Morris. i would have dropped a bag and waited to see what happens first. plastic bags? really.
shoplifting while on run. whereas you have 34k just lying on your car.

The Cadaver note, why would he write it on with his handwriting.
Gives the show runners access to his writings

Having multiple interviews without lawyers after actually murdering 3 people. i would have gone to Texas and lived like a mute woman... oh wait

Do you guys consider him a genius?

I wouldn't consider him a genius, per say - yet he is a bright guy. I have always viewed it as a game that he was playing: I feel like the "dumb moves" that he pulled was done so as his way of making "the game" more challenging for himself (IE - the shoplifting fiasco, the cadaver letter, insisting to be interviewed by Jarecki).
