WOW! I’ve known con-men. One (about 30 years ago) I considered a friend. He was very good at deception and a very friendly guy. To meet them at higher levels with greater exposure can be EXTREMELY damaging. Witness Bill Clinton.
Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life criminals are everywhere.
Condolences to YOU and YOUR friends. Thanks for notifying us and for YOUR great work. Don’t beat yourself up over this one. Our errors in judgement of MASTER deceivers happen every day to millions of innocent victims around the world.
Your dad was a smart man. Carry forward what you have learned. Teach others.
When you run into a REAL conman, you never know it until damage has been done somewhere. They look you straight in the eye, smile, tell the most believable lies, and are totally immoral - they don’t care if you drop dead from what they do.
For years I was friends with a family who had one for a brother. He stayed over their house for several months once, and they had no idea what was going on until the police showed up on their doorstep the week after he left.
They get away with it by unbelievable chutzpah. For weeks after, they were answering the door to poor slobs who had been sold things they’d come to pick up and already paid for - the same item for each person.
When the family went to clean out his apartment, three people showed up who tried to move in. He was a renter, and had posed as the landlord to several people - took their deposits, etc and told them all to move in on the first.
