Remember the RICIN incident in Las Vegas?

The following article from CNN details follow up from the incident where "ricin" was discovered in a Las Vegas hotel room, back in February:

Suffice it to say that the man, Roger Bergendorff who was first hospitalized when he experienced trouble breathing back on February 14th, and was the victim of ricin poinsoning, awoke from his coma on March 14th. Today, he was arrested for among other charges the possession of the deadly biological toxin, ricin.

Check out the article for additional information, but my only question is what was Mr. Bergendorff planning to do with the ricin in the first place. I would think (or at least hope) that poisoning himself was not the intended usage. Then again what do I know.

Only truth is stranger than fiction.
