A Procrastinatist is one who delays action and invites a tragedy to happen with him” Is Max a Procrastinatist, Why, Why not?

No. Max is not a Procrastinatist. He did not delay the action of his own. He had to wait for the Paper he was seeking, to arrive. He is overconfident and foolish enough to be duped by Ausable so simply and easily. He believes Ausable and does not confirm anything himself.
