What's pathetic is how much time this guy put into creating his sites, scamming people and then taking the time to properly fence everything.

Guy with that much inttelligence and drive could have made something of himself. Here's to hoping that they throw the book at him.

Con men are the nicest people, and cause SO much pain. They leave behind such devastation. Many people can't afford the losses.

I knew one personally. He alienated every family member he had. The day he left his sister's house, a man showed up at her door demanding the title to her rental car, which he had paid $8000 to the con artist for.

I remember when he lived in his other sister's house. Several days after he left THREE people showed up with keys to the apartment, having paid him security and 1st months rent before he left. Seems he was showing the house for rental while she was at work.

He took each member of his family, one by one, because he was so good at telling each member of the family how he was "misunderstood" by everyone, and also he had two little boys everyone felt sorry for. Eventually he scammed the hard bitten sister, and she put him in jail. She was the only one with the guts to do it, and the mother cried and cried.

In between conning his family, he ran THOUSANDS of scams on the side. He got a couple of years here and there. But because it was "just money", no violence, he kept getting released to cause more and more pain.

I couldn't have afforded to lose the money he stole from some people - I know he had to have ruined whole lives. There was not a drop of honesty to him. If he borrowed videos from a library, he sold them on the street. If he rented a car, he sold that, too.

Eventually he died, painfully, in jail. I remember having no pity for him. Whenever I hear about these repeat offenders, I think of him, and have no pity for them either.
