David Reiner : Disappearing Act (2008) - the fifth estate

I think this guys crimes are even more nefarious than they appear. We all know about the recent scandals involving UN and other ‘aid workers’.

Do NOT let your bookkeeper or financial manager be a signer on your accounts. No matter HOW much you trust them. I was a financial manager at a church, and several times it was brought up that to make things easier, I should be a signer on the accounts. I said "NO" you don't want your bookkeeper as a signer. It's not safe to do that. Not with anyone.

This is what happens when philanthropy becomes an addiction rather than a healthy desire to help others in need. When we don't have the resources to help someone else at a given time, it's OK to step back and take care of self first. It is no longer honorable when you deplete your own resources and start dragging others down to fuel your efforts. He is living pure poetic justice.

[@patternmotherlode9250]

I don't think it was ever philanthropy he was addicted to. More the control, manipulation, and duping of others. Another case of "I'm the smartest guy in the room" I'm sure he enjoyed his relationships with young African ladies. This was never philanthropy. Nor is it for many of the largest charitable organizations.

[@camgood3097]

They keep asking why he did it.. Why did Bernie Madoolff do it? Why did Hitler do it? It's the modern western culture we live in. We are taught from childhood to believe that happiness is to be found through financial success, high status, and gain. We are taught to feel guilty for not being good enough, or not working hard enough. Our parents do this to us because they worry about our survival (and because their parents played the same trick on them when they were children). Instead of recognizing that happiness arises from mental health (balance.. as in allowing yourself to feel the ups AND the downs), we forever chase a feeling of excitement that comes from pride when we accomplish what we want.. The problem is, like any high, it is always very temporary and short-lived (and we're taught to repress our negative emotions, to keep them out of the way of gaining what we want.. which only leads to misery, anger, and anxiety). It took me over 15 years to realize this (14 years practicing Zen Buddhism, and the past year listening to Alan Watts lectures.. which cover all of this and more in great detail). I highly recommend Alan Watts to anyone who is confused, unhappy, or simply curious about why our society is the way it is..

A lecturer at my old college, a lovely man, whom I had built up a friendship with in college, then became real good friends after I’d finished college, he did something similar. I met him when I was around 20 years old and he was about 50 years old. He was accountant for our local Ex-working man’s club and also for a local rugby club. He gambled, though. A lot. He’s started to “borrow” money, as he put it, to fund his gambling. He eventually got caught. Such a shock and a shame to see this highly respected, retired lecturer plunge to such low depths. It was a major embarrassment to his wife and sons, who are all older than me. I forgave him though. Thankfully so did his family and most of our community. We didn’t report him to the police but made sure he paid everything back. He genuinely believed he was borrowing the money and I believe him. Unfortunately that would have never been possible with his gambling problem. I believe that if he had come into money, he would have paid it back and nobody would have ever known. I’m still friends with him and his family to this day. This guy in the video, though, is pure scum. A con man and a crooked sociopath.

I just thought of a great idea for a new law in Canada. My very own self. Nobody else thought of it. Nobody in Parliament thought of this. The law is this: When a vagrant in a foreign land who is wanted at home for stealing more than a million dollars approaches a Canadian Consulate overseas and wants a plane ticket home to face the music, arrange with an airline to fly him home. The CBC shouldn't have to be the ones rounding these people up. But it does bring up another point. Never say public broadcasting/law enforcement is a total waste of money.

Ba ha ha...I met a guy like this except he was trust fund I bf y league drop out. He too is a tutor and asks for whatever anyone can afford. Well, he has an unlimited source of $$$ and mother gives him everything too. They get something out of it though, praise and people showing gratitude toward them or being able to get away with stuff or get their way around things- gives them a high. Their minds are constantly working. There is trauma somewhere...like what is the meaning of life? Why do humans do all these? No accountability, no stress, no ties...definition of Freedom in the case of this guy survival but he knows he will always have a meal and a roof above his head and where to rest.

Where did all the money go? I can understand if he was bored and left everything, but it´s hard to start a new life. Dreams are dreams and not feel secure, and have no real freedom, out in the bushes, still not knowing what to do next...

24 year old girl friend lol, when he is still married.

[@truebluewonderful]

His wife divorced him after he had fled with the money.

[@truebluewonderful]

That reporter was way too kind to him. Like there was an agreement on which questions he didn't want her to ask.

[@lubatikoseme1446]

Most parts of Africa corruption is not a crime at all.. so this guy is in a safe place .

[@rzz9594]

And he has no explanation as to where the money is😳

[@josephduplaga7595]

This guy is one old looking 62 year old

[@davidfrontini829]

No one has ever asked him what he did with the money as it was never brought up in this you tube video. Also sounded like he had no real intention of ever coming back to Canada. My first thought when he had asked for an airline ticket and come back to Canada, and he would would have tried to cash out the ticket for extra money and stay where he was or go somewhere else. He also knew that the authorities were unable to do anything, and he especially with no extradition treaty between the Uganda, and Africa and Canada.
