No doubt the guy "posed" as a therapist, as a guy named joe, as a web designer, etc. He was without question playing people and taking them for granted. However, the more I research the situation, the more I'm convinced that his addictions got the best of him and he became more and more desperate for money.

Addiction is insane. People do heinous things to other people without any conscious. Priorities change. It's like becoming a zombie. In our ANGER we must remember that it can happen to anyone.

Yeah, the beneficiary thing is really nice.
