Personally I wouldn't ever consider doing this because it just seems completely pointless I don't even like money or what our society has devolved into and regardless if I legitimately needed the money ,I'd rather just work for it, because at least at that point if I eventually got 500k it would feel like I did something with my life even if Ik I'll eventually spend it all over time.(There is no honor in scamming the Less fortunate.)

[@princesscadance197]

While there is partial truth to his comment that basically equates out to ‘People should be more skeptical and not immediately believe and buy in to the next big thing online.’, his words still do not absolve him of all blame and accountability. If you market a product or service that you plan to sell to clients, under the mindset that you do not plan on delivering, that turns all blame immediately back on to you. His actions basically say, ‘Well I told my customers they could trust me, it’s their fault that they trusted me, so now I’m stealing their money.’

To start off, this isn’t a defence. It’s merely just a perspective I see but don’t agree with, however would like to share since I think both sides of a coin matter. The reason they even gave him money in the first place was because he was an entertainer. He provided them entertainment, so technically they got what they wanted and he did as well.
