I hope the money was worth his Soul. That goes out to all the "actors" in this movie too. Lying on purpose, saying shit just to get strangers to feel hopeless & alone/sad/angry is one of those manipulations that deserves a MUCH harsher punishment than there is now.
Semantics and/or trying to convince others it was for the "greater good" or whatever justification you use to help you sleep at night makes it sooooo much more obvious & worse.
