I assume that when he met the real devil he discovered the price for impersonating the evil one. And I am sure satan was not impressed.

Au contraire. Satan probably high-fived him (or maybe low-fived). Of course, he'll soon be just another groupie but such devotion.

Actually, it is not shown in the Bible that the devil is ruling in Hell and tormenting souls, but that now the devil “as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”, (1Pt. 5:8) and that Hell is a place of ongoing torment, (Lk. 16:19-31) which the lost end up in for because of their sins and spurning their day of grace.

But which is a place of basic punishment as souls await their actual sentencing by the Lord Jesus at the Great White Throne Judgment, (Rv. 20:12-15) in which believers will take part, and it includes sentencing fallen angels.(1Cor. 6:3)

But Adam’s (paradoxically named) damnation did not begin with the shootings, but with rejecting the light he was given, which if obeyed, would have led him to the one who said,

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. “ (John 10:10-11)
