See, but you could argue that they would take him in - maybe they need him for the gene, maybe they need him for something else, and that's why they went to all the trouble to explain it to him. Maybe he'd want in, and they'd persuade him, and if we believe that the real John going to Atlantis made things much better for him, why not this John as well?
I think I like the idea that he's meant to be working for the SGC, and that things would be better then. I mean, no wonder he's depressed, all that bad history, and a job he clearly doesn't like, with no-one who seems to give a damn about him. I can totally see the SGC wanting him for whatever reason, and using the embezzling to force him to come work for them (a bit like Jack's persuading) and then things get better from there. I just prefer it to heroic death, but clearly we're going to disagree on that :o)
