The second being that it said at the end the women were "still paying off these debts"... When credit cards are supposed to be protected against all sorts of fraud  .
And the question of "the lady on the plane" was never answered.
In general though yeah the story really is about materialism all round. Him shaping his entire life around being this fake entity just for the lifestyle. The women he duped were definitely brought under the spell by the money and lifestyle also... There were no broken hearts here, just broken credit and smashed dreams of a wealthy life.
I say that without judgement really. And I don't think they were gullible, the way he was running it made it all completely plausible, he was flying each of them around in private jets for months before taking any money from them... Of course they would believe he was who he said he was. |
I did wonder how these women got such fast and easy access to all those platinum credit cards and loans for cash. They must have already had pretty decent jobs
