God knows our intentions were honorable. There are people who die from alcohol-related causes every single hour. God wisely shifted our prayers to apply to some of them.
Sincere prayer is never in vain. And this certainly isn't anything that is going to cause me to stop my prayer efforts on FR. As I say, in the event that someone has misrepresented themselves or their situation, God will use the prayers toward those who really need them.
Bogdan, I feel sorry for you.

I havent't been on FR the last couple of days and so missed the thread Bogdan evidently started.
I agree with you that the people who participated in the Prayer Thread didn't do so in vain. Bogdan lied about why he needed prayer but he didn't lie about needing prayer. Anyone who feels the need to misrepresent themselves in the manner in which Bogdan did needs prayer. The ways of God are mysterious and I believe Bogdan may eventually feel the results of the prayers that were offered on his behalf.
