@davidrofulowitz7538 exactly, I think there are deeper issues. It surely is obvious. He's skilled and know's how to get around. Did you read my comment here? My story a long time ago. I never sent money and figured it out right away. His Did their job well. Noted he has been reaching out for a few other's since 2022, he needs good counsel and I believe SC sees it. Tomorrow will be a time we might get answers. Blessing's

There's something really sad about someone who is blind still trying to date an instagram model. Just because it will make him look good? He can't see her.

Agree completely! Go look at the comments on some of the previous videos of men who have said things similar to this guy if you want to fully appreciate the hypocrisy.

If I complain about it 24/7 and they allow me to do that and treated me like I was special it would make me so sad. We Disabled people already feel like we don't fit in and are defective.

Man, you’re comment has many logical fallacies. “The fact that he keeps saying he’s a good guy means he is not a good guy” Thats a Logical fallacy it’s: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc - This is a faulty cause-and-effect argument, implying that the act of saying one is good automatically proves the opposite. There’s no evidence to suggest that someone proclaiming their goodness means they are not good. The other three logical fallacies in your comment: Appeal to popularity, straw man fallacy, Hasty generalization and Ad Hominem Attack The young man is blind. It will be exceptionally difficult for him to live a normal life and get into a relationship with a woman compared to someone who is not blind. He cant see what the girl looks like. Stop calling everyone and everything “creepy” because if you keep saying it’s creepy, than you must be the creep….……😏😂 just using your own logical fallacy bruh

when I was in school, I always did my best to be at the side of blind students. it was a culture to help them get to class, my guy, you aren't a player. edit: I can't believe this needs to be said but I was being bloody sarcastic. for further context, in my country, we are encouraged to help the differently abled. we are taught from a young age to ask, "excuse me, do you need any assistance?" my old school had a huge block that was specifically for the deaf and whenever we had joint assemblies, our principal would remind us to never clap, but wave our hands in the air so the deaf wouldn't feel ostracised as they couldn't hear the clapping. my comment is a tongue in cheek joke about how this fellow probably had people around him to help guide him. whether that's true or not is irrelevant as it's JUST A JOKE

Scammers don’t care who they scam. There was at least one other disabled person on catfished. It was a man in a wheelchair. When catfished did a “where are they now” video in December 2023, that guy was on it. After falling for a romance scam, he fell for a illuminati scam. He was told to send $50 and the next day he would receive $100,000 and be part of the illuminati. He received a certificate stating he was part of the illuminati. And according to him, the illuminati was going to take over the world And be in control. So he thinks he’s part of the world order… which only costs $50
