Fact stands, its been pointed out in all the linked threads, times don't appear to be as tough as he said, I mean he's at the GYM with his legs talking about the ladies meanwhile he's scared about his life, it just doesn't add up.
Sad it ended up this way, he's clearly tucked and in hiding I doubt we see him again.
Appreciate the tact evidence, really opens up the CP community's eyes.

I don't doubt he was living in his car and was on genuine tough times. I think most people are a little annoyed that at first he pretended he didn't know about gofundme (when clearly he did) and then kept dropping hints about tough times and money and such, likely building another case for more money.
I don't regret giving, and I hope we helped him. But looking back, what he should have done was come out and clearly stated he's on tough ass times, and needs a helping hand, then come back and genuinely thank the group and move on, instead of dwelling on being a martyr.
