His Filipino wife who apparently lived elsewhere. That was a red flag! The pictures of his wholesome looking, smiling wife juxtaposed with the splashy cleavage shots and pumped up pink pout of the Vera personality, was disturbing and disrespectful to his late wife.
This guy not only let his wife die without him, but he let his daughter go through losing her mother without being by her side. He doesn't deserve anyone to share his life with.
@@catherineturek1716 I definitely agree with you. That man is disgusting. I feel so bad for his Poor wife, Rest in peace beautiful lady.😢 And I hope he takes care of his daughter.😢
I'll be honest here, she was from the Phillipines seeking out an American man? Yeah they are known for marriage scams. The whole situation is really sad but let's not forget that.
@@martinajunkers4315 How is mentioning a proven statistic "racist" by any means? Many don't have a choice and are forced into it for the sake of their family. Maybe try reading into things a little before just calling everything racist.
I almost screamed when I've heard him saying he was caring, understanding and wanting to help somebody. How about your dying wife and your daughter who is facing her mama's passing ??? The hell??
Exactly my thoughts too!!!! Like.. like ... Like > He's a lying cheating SOB with selective memory, who maybe deserves to be scammed more than many others SC helps! It's called Karma!
Why are men like this? I'm asking as a man myself, all my friends are lecherous & womanizing and fall for women in 2 seconds. They are all pretty philosophical and intelligent but with women it's like their brain shuts off.
I was physically nauscious when he goes all on and on about him not being perfect and nobody is perfect. There's a difference between being not perfect and being a cheating cruel bastard who lead people to think he cares for his family but really doesn't.
So he doesn't LOVE VERA but he flies 6 times to SEE HER, but yet he LOVES HIS WIFE but he won't fly to the Phillipines when she's DYING! Yeah, RIGHT!!!
He is a creep. I think there is a reason his daughter doesn't want to live with him, I am not saying he abuses his daughter but she probably feels his creepiness!!
This! I kept thinking to myself, so his wife is dieing and he won't go see her. He says he sees his daughter once a month, during summer break. So maybe twice a year? He has the money to send to Vera, and has the money to fly out to Vera. But not to see his wife and DAUGHTER?! If you look at the pics of him with his daughter, she doesn't seem like a daughter who is attached to her dad either. The picture are more like friends or an uncle. All my daughters pics with her dad, they are hugging tight, she's facing him and they're both smiling big. And she sees him every single day.
Exactly what I was thinking! WHY wouldn't he fly to the Philippines to be with his dying wife and support his daughter 🤬 yet he flies to meet his "scamming bimbo" 6-7 times! I have ZERO sympathy for him!
@@gerttopmullerUh, no. They're not. They just do it, all the time. He's the perfect example of a pathological liar with a very poor memory. I have a great memory and could be a good liar if I wanted, but I hate lying. Makes me feel icky ast
TBH you don't know that! You know nothing about what the scammer is capable of, beyond taking advantage of the more than willing "victim" in this video.
I highly doubt that she is his legal wife, OR that the girl is his child. In fact, I fear that there is far more to why he continued that "relationship" at all. He didn't mention (at least in the video) when they ever physically met or produced that child, and he also met her online. The way the team seemed to insinuate some of the darker aspects of his phone activity history - which he tried to DELETE before handing it over .... Why would the child, if his, not come to the U.S. after her "mother" died, if he was actually her biological father? C'mon. He suggested that she was too attached to her homeland? Sure. There is great poverty in the Phillipines. No way would the child's extended family not send her to the United States if he was her father. Such garbage. Mike changed his story so many times, it was absurd. I hope and have faith that his idiot confessions regarding the crimes he was knowingly participating in were turned over to the proper law authorities by the Catfish team for further investigation. And he works with disabled CHILDREN? Nahhhh, man, just no.
This guy's teaching kids???? Not cool. I can't believe he opened himself up to this kind of scrutiny. He couldn't go to be with his dying wife and help his daughter through the loss? He's a loser. His daughter is better off without him.
Never thought I’d type this out but I feel happy that he got scammed. Losing some money is the least that could happen to him. Good on you guys calling him out in the end.
So he’s not raising his daughter, even though her mother died. I guarantee he’s not sending that kind of money for his daughter. What an absolute scumbag. He keeps talking about the Lord, as if he’s a good representation of Christianity. He’s a horrible person.
hope his daughter doesn't go live with him, what sort of role model would this cretin be for her . . . and the crap on that phone, poor david and bree were traumatised
If he’s such a good Christian, why isn’t he involved with his church- getting support while grieving, staying productive with activities There, and getting clued in from church friends that he’s being scammed.
@@jscott1363 I saw it all, know it’s not really her ffs, Some Nigerian, showing pics of the real woman flashing her bits before he asks for money, it’s the same thing, I’ve seen every catfish video, & you’ll see my comments below on almost each one…sigh!
"I'm loyal to my Filipino wife" "Don't you know, I'm still married to my Filipino wife" "As I mentioned to my Filipino wife" Why is he constantly saying "my _Filipino_ wife" instead of just "wife"?
The way he says 'but she understands' to talking about his daughter and how she's sad he can't be with her more often... he's such a deadbeat pathetic pos. He could be investing all of this money into getting his daughter closer to him or even going to visit her more often.. but no, he's paying for porn lol. He's not even getting any.. he's literally paying for STOLEN pics.
yeah paid for him to fly out to meet with them, then they bought his phone for $1,000. Curious what they are going to do with the phone now, resell it?
On the contrary, the worst people around are the ones who need help most desperately. They're also often the least likely to benefit from it, but that doesn't change the fact. That much should be obvious.
@@Poemiserable you cannot help someone who doesn't want to be helped. There is no introspection in this case and this man learned nothing. He still doesn't even see anything about his behaviour that needs changing. He is clearly still lying and manipulating to get what he wants. I stand by my comment.
From another perspective, the worse and more deplorable the person is, the better entertainment it makes though. People still remember Jodi, the delusional racist, and it’s this channel’s most viewed video.
All that self-love jargon is great for sociopaths. It sounds right but they really don't know what it means. It's more like grabbing as many goodies for yourself and the hell with the people who matter--falling for the fantasy and believing your own lies as you justify your bad behavior. That is what self-love is to such people and they don't go beyond it. I know it's nice to think that everyone can be cured, but some don't have the insight and will keep repeating the same patterns.
Reminds me of my dad who is a narcissist. He has said to me "I just have to focus ON MYSELF and not be available for anyone else for a while. It time I did things for ME!" He has said this at least 3x in my life and every time he says it like it's an epiphany and it's the 1st time. This creep is the same
The slight SMIRK displayed on his face when he slowly guided us viewers through his wife cancer treatments was INSANE. Like dude can’t hide the excitement of being single again. He does not care, pretty disgusting.
That’s what we all watch this channel for, isn’t it? I love seeing the absolute human garbage they dig up and how they got scammed. Lagos must be the karma capital of the world.
30:48 he describes the scammer as: “it’s been a cancer. She’s been a cancer”. No dude, cancer is what your wife suffered and died from without you by her side.
He's a creepy loser and a bad bad liar! The team read right thru his innocent husband act. When you catch ppl lying, you know they've told that story many times to different people. To not even remember he said they knew each other for two years, to it actually being ten years! Lol memory loss is a bs excuse in his case as well.
YES! The ONLY humans more despicable than these types of men are the women who willingly f around with them, knowing they have a women depending on them.
And if they were not both very married, the average dude would call them gae for their compassion and empathy, and not supporting an abuser who wants to jusr get smashed by a woman out of his league. It's not society, it's them
I wanted to clear up a question about what was disappointing on Michael’s phone. The phone was full of women that Michael was talking to. Some of the women sent nudes. I was disappointed with Michael because he kept using God as a crutch, yet through his phone, we saw a secret life that he was living behind his wife’s back. He had been talking to women for years and was getting nudes from them (all obviously fake). We didn’t see anything illegal on the phone. I wanted to clear this up because some viewers are assuming that was the case. - David
@@AlmostMiddleAgedASMRseriously? His DYING wife? I'm thinking nudes were not her priority. He's an ass. I do not give him any pass and I pray for his daughter.
The way ive been reading comments this whole time bc of that lol. Definitely sounds like he is just tamed at the moment but the cycle will repeat. This man has so much shame and cries over himself im glad u guys werent afraid to call him out.
I saw the comments, too. They assumed that because he is working as a teacher with special needs children. Also, they are viewers who said that on his phone, he had indecent photos with kids. In that case, he definitely he was reported by you, guys. I don't trust people who are talking about God, how much they believe in God, I found out they are the worst.
Omg U Guys got scammed! You knew things didn't add up from the jump and you still kept going? You spent so much time with this guy and your own money including way over paying for that freaking phone. You followed up and did everything you could and he was still lying!!!! 😅 He's like a psychopath using his innocent face and little.Texas accent. Honestly, he was complicit fit in lots of illegal activities. Using God as some sort of fake religious Cover story. Is obviously addicted to porn. He is not gonna get to any counseling. He doesn't want to stop lookout nervously.Was he already used the new phone to sign up for everything he could!!! This is the one time The victim quote unquote Deserve to lose every penny Sent and every hour out of every year that they wasted Online instead of focusing on their real family and his child.
@@AlmostMiddleAgedASMR He had thousands of dollars to send to a random woman online and travel to her 7 times. He had the option to be with his wife on her deathbed but instead chose to receive nudes from other women. There is absolutely no excuse for his disgusting behavior.
This man has zero intentions of going to go to therapy or stopping being a creep. His long winded BS answer to “have you started counseling” told us everything.
I’ve seen dozens of these videos. For every single one, in 2 seconds of looking at the side by side pics of the “victim” and the scammer, it is 100% crystal clear it was a scam.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire and I don’t like assuming but whose to say if an underage pair of breasts or an underaged or vulnerable older aged cooch were around he wouldn’t need to create some spank bank memories ( and that’s the best of the bad scenarios I care to mention ) this guy is why I don’t trust anyone but I especially have a level of skepticism when it comes to special ed teachers,police officers working sex crimes, coaches, mentors etc. all of the mentioned jobs put people in positions of power over vulnerable children and adults & some of these vulnerable people can’t speak , can’t tell what happened etc. Same skepticism goes toward babysitters & if anyone takes anything from this DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO A BABYSITTER BEFORE THEYRE ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHAT IS GOING ON AT SCHOOL & UNTIL THEY KNOW PRIVATE PARTS ARE PRIVATE PARTS AND NOBODY SHOULD BE POKING AROUND OR MESSING AROUND WITH THEM! I know I said a lot in this comment, I know I’ll maybe ruffle some feathers but if your feathers are ruffled imagine how a child feels when they realize that they were a victim and what impact that has on their future. Unfortunately sexual assault is a curse that keeps on cursing and victims sadly can become offenders and the cycle restarts itself. It’s 2024 & skepticism is absolutely acceptable. Also … STOP SENDING YOUR CHILDREN INTO PUBLIC RESTROOMS ALONE! Lots of disgusting stuff happening in public restrooms and if you are reading this and think for a second the bathrooms at _____ are definitely safe you’ve already made a mistake, don’t fail your kids completely by being too trusting. Pedophilia and sexual deviancy is a problem that is so common but often underreported & our government wouldn’t want to freak us out with the REAL statistics like how if you went to work today at a company with 10 workers you likely have at LEAST 1 of these monsters in your ranks and I’m being kinda lenient with the numbers here intentionally. If I sound crazy it’s because you’re too comfortable
This man didn’t hardly give two shits about his “Filipino wife” wth. Does he even call her by her name at any point? Also go take care of your CHILD…!? I’m sorry y’all but this is one of the worst ones and I do not feel bad for this guy..
He kept referring to his wife as a Filipino and kept referring to the scamer by name. Disgusts me honestly. That smirk on his face...i wish i could slap it away hard
What a trooper. The guys wife, mother of his child is going through a horrific experience so he goes and tries to track down his girlfriend. His poor daughter. She deserves a better parent
My son is married to my beautiful daughter in law, who is from the Phillpines. If he ever called her "my Filipino wife", he would see the wrath from me. How disrespectful 😡😡
Just being honest here, I’ve never seen a “beautiful” phillipino woman. I’m just not attracted to them. All of them always have a weird mole on their face.
I'm sick of these types of gullible jerks already, so narcissistic and full of themselves, he'll get scammed again for sure and who cares he deserves it
He’s trying to come off as noble because he refused his wife’s suggestion when she said get a new wife. While all the time he was already cheating. 😒 not to mention his wife was battling cancer and he didn’t go to see her??? If he works at a school he could have gotten family medical leave. Lastly, now his daughter is living in a separate country with no parent. And he’s worried about a catfish. *BIG SIGH* and RIP to his wife
This is the type of dude that will be lonely and alone on his deathbed because how he treats his daughter and wife is how he will be treated in the elderly home.
One minor thing that really stuck out to me, he never said thank you. When David offered to pay 3 months of therapy hundreds possibly thousands of dollars, he didn't say thank you. When David bought the phone? No thank you. When Brianne said his phone was blowing up all night bothering her, his response? "Thats good". Not saying thank you for handling that, I'm sorry you're putting up with that. Nope - "that's good". He seems completely incapable of thinking of anyone but himself. Severe lack of empathy, could genuinely have narcissistic personality disorder.
What kind of husband can describe himself as a loving and loyal husband when he couldn't even be bothered to be with his wife and daughter when she was dying
That’s true probably the vast majority of the time. Myself , sometimes previous traumas I might have had or something that really hurt me , I have a tendency to forget the exact details. It’s almost like a natural coping mechanism for me without even trying to forget the details per se.
This guy is unbelievable. His wife is dying in hospital with cancer while he chases some woman. And to top it all off, in a time when his daughter NEEDS him MOST of all. Absolutely disgusting. This is wrong on so many levels.
he wasn’t even willing to travel to the phillipines for his wife either to help her get through this but was willing to spend whatever to see this scammer, he’s a real piece of work
I'm glad you added the daughter part. Everyone seems to forget this piece of trash has a daughter he's not taking care of. Where's his daughter now? He doesn't seem to care for her. He abandoned her.
I assume you watched the entire video too. And if so, you must know that poor kid is way better of without him. He has nothing of value he can teach her. And it's a shame he works in schools as well.
Those 6 times he flew to see her might be enough to buy himself a ticket to see his wife and child too. Adding in the $5000 he gave to the scammer, he had PLENTY to see them.
if he is committed enough, there is no need to go 6 times to see someone to know if they are real or not a scam. i mean, stay in hotel and wait the right time to meet them, not fly back and fly to see them again and again. for whole 10 years!
I like how they describe their scammy girlfriends in ways like I think she's like or something like when they know exactly what this person looks like.
At the end he says he is trying to find out who he really is, or something like that. How about finding out that you're entire character consists of lies, denial, minimizing the damages you created, and indulging your lusts. It's too late if you haven't found this out by now.
Something I’ve learned from watching statement analysts on UA-cam is that when people are lying they often don’t say how they were feeling. He says it was a hard time but he never says “I was so sad” or “I miss my wife so much” he’s full of shit
@@sprig.sprout That's interesting. What sort of statement analysts do you usually watch? Indeed, he didn't say whether he was sad or - how I'd personally feel if my spouse had cancer - devastated, scared, and even angry. It was just "a hard time" - and for HIM at that. Hence my previous comment on his lack (or even absence) of his emotional maturity.
@@MagisterialVoyager I really like Peter Hyatt and Deception Detective, both do mostly true crime topics but Deception Detective also has videos on lighter stuff
Or you’ve just made a sick joke out of a woman who has died of cancer and a child who has now been left with out a mother due to were she’s from. What a ignorant comment yuck.
A teacher in Special Needs, he said. I think more likely he's a teaching assistant/support worker, with very little education. I don't believe he's a bona fide teacher, as most of us would interpret that.
He told Blanca that the reason he fell for this scammer is because he likes to help people, that he is a helper… I’m quite sure that it had nothing to do with her provocative images 😉
He’s obviously a compulsive lair. He even lied to the team about how long he’d known her, along with the messages he tried to hide. Whatever it is that was on his phone they couldn’t disclose on UA-cam. I bet there’s So much more to the story. He is very self conscious of his image and in a huge amount of denial.
His poor wife. She married a scammer herself. Dying of cancer and no husband to support her through it. What a slimeball. He'll probably get into another scam because he's just so full of deceit and sliminess that he doesn't even know what the truth is. Gross.
I would like to say how well Drew, Brianne and David handled this guy, well done, I love the way you put honesty and transparency at the fore. Good peeps!!! Nice to see.
He also stressed that he was an educator and volunteered at a hospital many times even though it's not in the discussion. This is a psychological ploy to win the team and us over in the hopes we all buy his sob story or it makes him seem innocent and believable. The guy is duplicitous af
You could tell he was lying every time he spoke based on his rotten-ass word salad alone. Dude couldn’t string together a coherent sentence to save his life.
Thanks, I thought it was just me, thinking he has a really weird way of speaking, like dodging the question...being evasive...going totally off-topic, it was strange!
YES! I couldn't put words to what it is about this whatever it is (liar, idiot) but you hit the target: "word salad.". Every single time it opened its mouth , a word salad came tumbling out.
This is hands down the most unlikeable person I’ve seen on this show. He tried to present himself as this kind, caring, humble, God fearing man. Instead, he lied non-stop, cheated on his wife for 10 years, broke the law BY LAUNDERING MONEY, spent thousands of dollars chasing other women but couldn’t be bothered to see his wife when she was dying, or even to support his child though a horrible, horrible time. I wouldn’t worry about working on that “self love” you talked about, Michael. Self love is ONLY love you’re displaying. Even when David called him out on his b***s***, Michael continued to lie, refuse to take accountability, and to try to hang onto his humble, Godly persona. Ugh!!! Huge kudos to David and the Social Catfish team for their unfailing kindness, authenticity, and professionalism. It’s the exact opposite of what Michael displayed.
Yes that's what I thought too, he comes across as so disingenuous and hypocritical. You can tell he doesn't feel responsible for any of it, he is only thinking of himself and trying to make people believe he is "allowing" himself to move on
I'm telling you from first hand experience , Spec Ed teachers has staff that supports and do all the physical portion. Spec Ed teachers only plan. That's it
I was in Special ed & in my last year of high school I did not get much. Our teacher was worthless. My parents complained about her. & she just sent us out all on job. So she did not have to teach. Few reasons I was very, very glad to be done with school.
"It's because I work in education - it just makes me a kind and caring person, kind of like a saint, really. The average person just can't understand how great of a person I am because of my kindness and caring." He could not be more full of crap.
He should've flown to the Philippines to be with his daughter, who just lost their mother. Everything is about him. Some of these scammers are just Karma.
The nerve of him saying to the camera (to us and the team) that he was grieving and wants pity for his wifes passing. Sure, I feel sorry for the wife and the daughter but not him whatsoever. Dunno why he even came on the show. He lacks a lot of the regret and disappointment that the other victim guests go through. He didn't speak upon anything to do with the real identity. Esp when I compare him to the other victims eg. They're distraught, spent all their savings, angry at the scammer and demand them show their face/admit they're not who they say they are etc etc... In fact he gave as little info as possible because he has so much to hide. Evidence for me is when they catch him in changing parts of the story over and over!!!
Oh was that the really offensive stuff that they found on his phone? From other women? WHILE he was married to a wife who had cancer? Bro I never wanted to punch someone in the face so hard in my life and im a pretty chill guy😂😭💀
Kinda funny though, with the amount of lies he tells one would think that he would be good at it, yet everyone saw through his bullcrap in the first 10 min.
What did I just watch? What an awful human being. He’s worse than the scammer. Doesn’t seem to care about anyone but himself. You’re better people than me being able to do what you did for him
Yeah just with getting "help" for him. He was babbling about "plan out and stuff like that. Especially for free and stuff like that." Social Catfish is offering to get him help and he basically turned it down bc he doesn't really want to change. This guy is SUPER creepy!!
I’ve long considered catfished people as active participants at this point, this guy takes the case for most unlikeable non “victim” no shame in his horrible and delusional actions
@mrssolomon3127 exactly....most hospitals and schools have EAP. (Employee Assistance Programs) that provide free counseling services and/ or referrals. Red flags all around this story!
37:13 GET EM!! He's been dressing up his own narrative for far too long. As Judge Judy has said before "when you tell the truth you don't need a good memory".

He is a creep. I think there is a reason his daughter doesn't want to live with him, I am not saying he abuses his daughter but she probably feels his creepiness!!
NOT FORGETTING THAT HE WOULDN'T FLY TO COMFORT HIS OWN DAUGHTER 💔
This! I kept thinking to myself, so his wife is dieing and he won't go see her. He says he sees his daughter once a month, during summer break. So maybe twice a year? He has the money to send to Vera, and has the money to fly out to Vera. But not to see his wife and DAUGHTER?! If you look at the pics of him with his daughter, she doesn't seem like a daughter who is attached to her dad either. The picture are more like friends or an uncle.

I highly doubt that she is his legal wife, OR that the girl is his child. In fact, I fear that there is far more to why he continued that "relationship" at all. He didn't mention (at least in the video) when they ever physically met or produced that child, and he also met her online. The way the team seemed to insinuate some of the darker aspects of his phone activity history - which he tried to DELETE before handing it over ....
Why would the child, if his, not come to the U.S. after her "mother" died, if he was actually her biological father? C'mon. He suggested that she was too attached to her homeland? Sure. There is great poverty in the Phillipines. No way would the child's extended family not send her to the United States if he was her father. Such garbage. Mike changed his story so many times, it was absurd. I hope and have faith that his idiot confessions regarding the crimes he was knowingly participating in were turned over to the proper law authorities by the Catfish team for further investigation. And he works with disabled CHILDREN? Nahhhh, man, just no.
I don't understand that marriage, your wife is dying of cancer but you're not by her side???
he is working full time without pay shipping goods for his future wife (husband).
makes sense to me.
She’s Filipina so
and his wife told him to move on?? oh nah 🥴
Do you know they need needs!!
And who is taking care of his daughter?
The reason why he say "my philipino wife" is because he subconsciously or purposely disassociating his marraige by putting her in another country.
the distinction is because the other one was just the american one :D
You are reading far too into it bro. He is saying that simply because he had an American wife 😂😂
Probably a result of sex tourism.
"ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME!"
The wife is Philippino didn’t you see the photos. Phillipino and was in the Phillipines !😎
The way he says Filipino wife is like she is a different species
This is the first victim who I think deserves to be arrested. He knew there was something shady about the packages yet kept his cut.
True
This guy's teaching kids????
Not cool. I can't believe he opened himself up to this kind of scrutiny.
He couldn't go to be with his dying wife and help his daughter through
the loss? He's a loser. His daughter is better off without him.
Loser
You must have not seen the guy who thought he was buying a girl from human traffickers 😅🤣
He doesn’t seem to have a moral compass.
I don't want to be sinister but there's probably a good reason why his daughter prefers to live in the other side of the globe.
I was kinda wondering if something was going on or if he tried something with his daughter.
I agree. He is not father material.
I suspect he isn't actually the father and his Filipino wife has a Filipino husband.
Yes it is suspicious that she prefers to live in a developing country rather than one of the best countries in the world
I’m thinking they found images of young girls on his phone.
His comment about "Vera" making sure her body looks good for "other people" was so cringe. Throw this whole man away.
Absolute turbo virgin behavior. Dude has some weird mail order bride fetish.
He’s a terrible person. I’m glad his daughter is able to live apart from him. Thousands and thousands of miles away from this creep.
He’s grimy and karma is a catfishing bxtch
cringe x 1000
this child is beyond stupid
Yeah he’s just a perv 🤢
Never thought I’d type this out but I feel happy that he got scammed. Losing some money is the least that could happen to him.
Good on you guys calling him out in the end.
This dude is pissing me off the more he talks.
The video interview at the end was torture, guy is awful at talking out of his ass
💯😤
Me too!!! Had nerve to mention God...
I am already pissed and I am just starting. Dude is a scumbag.
Truth! Ufffda, he is awful.
Do NOT take a drink every time he calls his wife, “my Filipino wife”. You will die of alcohol poisoning
😂😂😂
I, sadly, took that as a dare and I’m sad to announce that I’m now dead. R.I.P. Me
Yea, that was weird. Like a mail order wife kind of thing??
He wuz tryna have a Cali Wife 😂
It’s so gross
So he’s not raising his daughter, even though her mother died. I guarantee he’s not sending that kind of money for his daughter. What an absolute scumbag. He keeps talking about the Lord, as if he’s a good representation of Christianity. He’s a horrible person.
hope his daughter doesn't go live with him, what sort of role model would this cretin be for her . . . and the crap on that phone, poor david and bree were traumatised
The imaginary friend. Always a good excuse.
If he’s such a good Christian, why isn’t he involved with his church- getting support while grieving, staying productive with activities There, and getting clued in from church friends that he’s being scammed.
Most of people saying about God are like that
He's not the first Christian man on this series that cheated on his wife with a romance scammer; in fact, I think he's about the third or fourth
Blanca was very close to saying "how can anyone be so gullible as to thinking to be in a relationship, for 10 years, with someone he's never met"
“Vera was always there, showing her boobs, during the grieving stages of his wife’s passing.” That’s what the narration should have said.
It was too much business involved...
Don't underestimate the healing power of boobs.
She flashed her bits, & then got straight to buisiness, asking for gift cards🤦♂️
@@marcusherts9345sigh, it wasn’t even her, probably some scummy dude, did you not watch the entire vid 😅

This guy is extremely sketchy and thoroughly unlikable. I don't believe a word he says.
Why reach out to them and ask for help and then lie about everything?
@@elipotter369 True. This guy is an extreme case though.
This guy lies so much that he doesn’t remember what he tells them. He will end up in jail.

"I'm loyal to my Filipino wife"
"Don't you know, I'm still married to my Filipino wife"
"As I mentioned to my Filipino wife"
Why is he constantly saying "my _Filipino_ wife" instead of just "wife"?
Why does he say "still married" instead of "I'm married"?
Multiple wives? Probably has a Thai wife, a Russian wife, a Costa Rican wife, etc.
Such a creep
Because he also has a filipino husband
Red flag 🚩 🚩🚩🚩
This guy is morally bankrupt. I feel bad for his daughter.
And his students. Geez!
The way he says 'but she understands' to talking about his daughter and how she's sad he can't be with her more often... he's such a deadbeat pathetic pos. He could be investing all of this money into getting his daughter closer to him or even going to visit her more often.. but no, he's paying for porn lol. He's not even getting any.. he's literally paying for STOLEN pics.
I am so sorry you all wasted your time and resources on this person. He absolutely did not deserve your help.
Spot on
yeah paid for him to fly out to meet with them, then they bought his phone for $1,000. Curious what they are going to do with the phone now, resell it?
On the contrary, the worst people around are the ones who need help most desperately. They're also often the least likely to benefit from it, but that doesn't change the fact. That much should be obvious.
@@Poemiserable you cannot help someone who doesn't want to be helped. There is no introspection in this case and this man learned nothing. He still doesn't even see anything about his behaviour that needs changing. He is clearly still lying and manipulating to get what he wants. I stand by my comment.
From another perspective, the worse and more deplorable the person is, the better entertainment it makes though. People still remember Jodi, the delusional racist, and it’s this channel’s most viewed video.
Anyone else get mad when he talked about self love and focusing on himself? Dude spent his whole life focusing on himself
All that self-love jargon is great for sociopaths. It sounds right but they really don't know what it means. It's more like grabbing as many goodies for yourself and the hell with the people who matter--falling for the fantasy and believing your own lies as you justify your bad behavior. That is what self-love is to such people and they don't go beyond it. I know it's nice to think that everyone can be cured, but some don't have the insight and will keep repeating the same patterns.
Reminds me of my dad who is a narcissist. He has said to me "I just have to focus ON MYSELF and not be available for anyone else for a while. It time I did things for ME!" He has said this at least 3x in my life and every time he says it like it's an epiphany and it's the 1st time.
This creep is the same
The mom in The Glass Castle said that also.
My thoughts exactly!
NARCISSISTIC ACTIONS!!!
He got teary eyed when he found out the scammer was fake, but not when talking about his late wife?
Ikr 😭
Self pity.
Well, it was JUST his Filipino wife 🙄🤬.
He is gross.
Take all his money “vera” and get him sent to jail. He knew he was being scum.
His wife is not dead. He made up the story to leave her.
Ugh
The slight SMIRK displayed on his face when he slowly guided us viewers through his wife cancer treatments was INSANE. Like dude can’t hide the excitement of being single again. He does not care, pretty disgusting.
The fact he called the scammers a cancer... When his wife died from cancer... Wtf.
He is not very different from that scammer 😢
So many of these “victims” are terrible people 💀
That’s what we all watch this channel for, isn’t it?
I love seeing the absolute human garbage they dig up and how they got scammed. Lagos must be the karma capital of the world.
So far I've seen more terrible people victims than good people, although there have been some.
Exactly. There's a reason why they get caught up in these things in the first place. I've noticed very few of them are actually old vulnerable people.
@@rogerioceni2640😅😅😅
@@rogerioceni2640Facts
30:48 he describes the scammer as: “it’s been a cancer. She’s been a cancer”. No dude, cancer is what your wife suffered and died from without you by her side.
That comment right there made my skin crawl. He said it with such ease like his wife dying of cancer meant nothing.
I noticed that too! How disrespectful!
🤦🏻♀️ Made me feel so angry right through the video and that's never happened before.. horrible, horrible man!
He's a creepy loser and a bad bad liar! The team read right thru his innocent husband act. When you catch ppl lying, you know they've told that story many times to different people. To not even remember he said they knew each other for two years, to it actually being ten years! Lol memory loss is a bs excuse in his case as well.
He didn’t love his wife, couldn’t give a sh..
Most people would beg, steal, borrow, to get to their dying wife’s side
😂😂😂😂😂exactly
I've listened to this 5 times. Listen to him talk. He can't even make a cohesive sentence. I'm embarrassed for him
Hands down the worst one I’ve seen. This man is beyond repulsive.
I think Michael and Cassie Anthony would make a great match. Who's the better liar?
This man made my stomach turn literally 🤮🤮
YES! The ONLY humans more despicable than these types of men are the women who willingly f around with them, knowing they have a women depending on them.
@@BaybD707absolutely. Couldn’t have said it better
Just awful 🤢
So refreshing to hear a liar being called out.
I wish they would've been even tougher on him and I hope they seriously do not give this liar anymore money.
Can we all take a moment to shout out Drew and David for calling out people on their BS?
Yes 🙌
Yes! I respect that so much about them!
Yes they did good.
Absolutely ❤
And if they were not both very married, the average dude would call them gae for their compassion and empathy, and not supporting an abuser who wants to jusr get smashed by a woman out of his league. It's not society, it's them
Who The hell would want him as their child teacher?? THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE
I wanted to clear up a question about what was disappointing on Michael’s phone. The phone was full of women that Michael was talking to. Some of the women sent nudes. I was disappointed with Michael because he kept using God as a crutch, yet through his phone, we saw a secret life that he was living behind his wife’s back. He had been talking to women for years and was getting nudes from them (all obviously fake). We didn’t see anything illegal on the phone. I wanted to clear this up because some viewers are assuming that was the case. - David
@@AlmostMiddleAgedASMRseriously? His DYING wife? I'm thinking nudes were not her priority. He's an ass. I do not give him any pass and I pray for his daughter.
The way ive been reading comments this whole time bc of that lol. Definitely sounds like he is just tamed at the moment but the cycle will repeat. This man has so much shame and cries over himself im glad u guys werent afraid to call him out.
I saw the comments, too. They assumed that because he is working as a teacher with special needs children. Also, they are viewers who said that on his phone, he had indecent photos with kids. In that case, he definitely he was reported by you, guys.
I don't trust people who are talking about God, how much they believe in God, I found out they are the worst.
Omg U Guys got scammed! You knew things didn't add up from the jump and you still kept going? You spent so much time with this guy and your own money including way over paying for that freaking phone. You followed up and did everything you could and he was still lying!!!! 😅 He's like a psychopath using his innocent face and little.Texas accent. Honestly, he was complicit fit in lots of illegal activities. Using God as some sort of fake religious Cover story. Is obviously addicted to porn. He is not gonna get to any counseling. He doesn't want to stop lookout nervously.Was he already used the new phone to sign up for everything he could!!! This is the one time The victim quote unquote Deserve to lose every penny Sent and every hour out of every year that they wasted Online instead of focusing on their real family and his child.
@@AlmostMiddleAgedASMR He had thousands of dollars to send to a random woman online and travel to her 7 times. He had the option to be with his wife on her deathbed but instead chose to receive nudes from other women. There is absolutely no excuse for his disgusting behavior.
This man has zero intentions of going to go to therapy or stopping being a creep. His long winded BS answer to “have you started counseling” told us everything.
Thank you 😂
Something about his speech patterns really creeped me out...he seemed to give long-winded, evasive, off-topic answers. Really strange.
Yes. and when he acknowledges shocking stuff, he acts like it is nothing. He'll probably read the comments.
Mike: “Word salad word salad, straight ‘n narrow, blah blah blah”
David: “Mike that’s not true..”
Mike: “yah”
He’s looking for therapy resources can be “transcribed and progressed through for” him. He can’t even form a sentence.
Gotta love how he says he didn’t want to cheat on his wife, because “Filipino women don’t believe in divorce.” Nothing about “I love my wife”
This!
He has no obligation to love her. Marriage isn't about love but about duty. Especially in the Philippines.
But yes, he's a selfish Richard
@@yadusolparterre Marriage is definitely about love 🤣
Well, divorce is literally illegal in the Philippines, so even if she really wanted to leave, she can't lol.
@@cherryhazard8002Wait, what if someone is being abused?! They're just stuck in the marriage?!
I’ve seen dozens of these videos. For every single one, in 2 seconds of looking at the side by side pics of the “victim” and the scammer, it is 100% crystal clear it was a scam.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that this man's wife is a Filipina.
Well yea
When you don't even care enough to say it correctly.
I'm going to take that's sarcasm because he said it so much, and not a genuine observation.
😂😂😂
"Filipina Wife"
I do not feel comfortable knowing this man works in the hospital and with vulnerable children.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire and I don’t like assuming but whose to say if an underage pair of breasts or an underaged or vulnerable older aged cooch were around he wouldn’t need to create some spank bank memories ( and that’s the best of the bad scenarios I care to mention ) this guy is why I don’t trust anyone but I especially have a level of skepticism when it comes to special ed teachers,police officers working sex crimes, coaches, mentors etc. all of the mentioned jobs put people in positions of power over vulnerable children and adults & some of these vulnerable people can’t speak , can’t tell what happened etc.
Same skepticism goes toward babysitters & if anyone takes anything from this DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO A BABYSITTER BEFORE THEYRE ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHAT IS GOING ON AT SCHOOL & UNTIL THEY KNOW PRIVATE PARTS ARE PRIVATE PARTS AND NOBODY SHOULD BE POKING AROUND OR MESSING AROUND WITH THEM!
I know I said a lot in this comment, I know I’ll maybe ruffle some feathers but if your feathers are ruffled imagine how a child feels when they realize that they were a victim and what impact that has on their future. Unfortunately sexual assault is a curse that keeps on cursing and victims sadly can become offenders and the cycle restarts itself. It’s 2024 & skepticism is absolutely acceptable. Also … STOP SENDING YOUR CHILDREN INTO PUBLIC RESTROOMS ALONE! Lots of disgusting stuff happening in public restrooms and if you are reading this and think for a second the bathrooms at _____ are definitely safe you’ve already made a mistake, don’t fail your kids completely by being too trusting. Pedophilia and sexual deviancy is a problem that is so common but often underreported & our government wouldn’t want to freak us out with the REAL statistics like how if you went to work today at a company with 10 workers you likely have at LEAST 1 of these monsters in your ranks and I’m being kinda lenient with the numbers here intentionally. If I sound crazy it’s because you’re too comfortable
He doesn’t genuinely care for anyone but HIMSELF.
A compulsive liar 🤥 usually lacks a conscience.
Me neither. And the comments under this video seem to indicate no else does does.
Agree. He’s dangerous.
This man didn’t hardly give two shits about his “Filipino wife” wth. Does he even call her by her name at any point? Also go take care of your CHILD…!?
I’m sorry y’all but this is one of the worst ones and I do not feel bad for this guy..
Disassociation.
I dont think that daughter is biological. I think the wife already had a daughter when they met online and married
I assume he didn't mention her name because personal information.
He kept referring to his wife as a Filipino and kept referring to the scamer by name. Disgusts me honestly. That smirk on his face...i wish i could slap it away hard
@@vellabella1yeah. He kept saying « her daughter ».
What a trooper. The guys wife, mother of his child is going through a horrific experience so he goes and tries to track down his girlfriend. His poor daughter. She deserves a better parent
My son is married to my beautiful daughter in law, who is from the Phillpines. If he ever called her "my Filipino wife", he would see the wrath from me. How disrespectful 😡😡
Just being honest here, I’ve never seen a “beautiful” phillipino woman. I’m just not attracted to them. All of them always have a weird mole on their face.
Right? What an odd way to refer to your spouse. I think he is objectifying her. This guy is truly gross

He’s trying to come off as noble because he refused his wife’s suggestion when she said get a new wife. While all the time he was already cheating. 😒 not to mention his wife was battling cancer and he didn’t go to see her??? If he works at a school he could have gotten family medical leave.
Lastly, now his daughter is living in a separate country with no parent. And he’s worried about a catfish. *BIG SIGH* and RIP to his wife
he’ll get his karma bruh this episode is crazy
I’m starting to think she didn’t even suggest that. She’s not here to defend herself smh.
This is the type of dude that will be lonely and alone on his deathbed because how he treats his daughter and wife is how he will be treated in the elderly home.
He tried to justify why his daughter didn't live with him, too. Ugh.
This could have been my comment exactly..... He's really sickening.
He's says he's a caring and understanding person but couldn't be bothered to be with his dying wife and daughter. He makes me SICK.
What make it more sick is when the wife died all she got was a sigh from him. Just A sigh.... Then time for my new gf!!
It’s performative. If you have to say you’re a good person, you probably aren’t.
One minor thing that really stuck out to me, he never said thank you. When David offered to pay 3 months of therapy hundreds possibly thousands of dollars, he didn't say thank you. When David bought the phone? No thank you. When Brianne said his phone was blowing up all night bothering her, his response? "Thats good". Not saying thank you for handling that, I'm sorry you're putting up with that. Nope - "that's good". He seems completely incapable of thinking of anyone but himself. Severe lack of empathy, could genuinely have narcissistic personality disorder.
Yea honestly seems that may very well be the case
I believe Mike is a psychopath...
This bothered me too.. not even one thank you
Oh my god, you're absolutely right!
Could???
This scumbag legitimately raised my blood pressure. Disgusting disgusting human being
What kind of husband can describe himself as a loving and loyal husband when he couldn't even be bothered to be with his wife and daughter when she was dying
Same ones who describe themselves as "having a big heart" "giving the shirt off his back" and "a great guy".

Wow. This is the first time I’ve seen a case where it’s hard to tell who the biggest scammer was. The real victim was the lady who died of cancer.
Cogent post

And his daughter.
more the child who wont have parents.
Not even a tinge of apology or remorse or shame when he was called out about lying from the onset. Narcissistic to the core.

This guy is unbelievable. His wife is dying in hospital with cancer while he chases some woman. And to top it all off, in a time when his daughter NEEDS him MOST of all. Absolutely disgusting. This is wrong on so many levels.
he wasn’t even willing to travel to the phillipines for his wife either to help her get through this but was willing to spend whatever to see this scammer, he’s a real piece of work
I'm glad you added the daughter part. Everyone seems to forget this piece of trash has a daughter he's not taking care of.
Where's his daughter now? He doesn't seem to care for her. He abandoned her.

His wife’s dying and he’s not there but happy to send money to his Nigerian boyfriend
“No I have no feelings for her whatsoever”
***flies across country 6 times to try and meet her
Those 6 times he flew to see her might be enough to buy himself a ticket to see his wife and child too. Adding in the $5000 he gave to the scammer, he had PLENTY to see them.
if he is committed enough, there is no need to go 6 times to see someone to know if they are real or not a scam. i mean, stay in hotel and wait the right time to meet them, not fly back and fly to see them again and again. for whole 10 years!
After 5 previous failed meetings!
This is a catfish scam i totally applaud.
Its a business deal. 'Shes curvy, 5'3, takes care of herself, blonde hair'. Okay. Would he describe a man like this I wonder?
I like how they describe their scammy girlfriends in ways like I think she's like or something like when they know exactly what this person looks like.
yes, but usually also adding the "banana" size for full transparency
Depends if he is bisexual or not.
And he says about his wife having cancer..."It's so hard on me"...What about her ?..SELFISH, SELFISH, SELFISH !...
At the end he says he is trying to find out who he really is, or something like that. How about finding out that you're entire character consists of lies, denial, minimizing the damages you created, and indulging your lusts. It's too late if you haven't found this out by now.

I feel like he has the emotional maturity of a child. Big yikes. I'm so sorry for his daughter.
Something I’ve learned from watching statement analysts on UA-cam is that when people are lying they often don’t say how they were feeling. He says it was a hard time but he never says “I was so sad” or “I miss my wife so much” he’s full of shit
@@sprig.sprout That's interesting. What sort of statement analysts do you usually watch? Indeed, he didn't say whether he was sad or - how I'd personally feel if my spouse had cancer - devastated, scared, and even angry. It was just "a hard time" - and for HIM at that. Hence my previous comment on his lack (or even absence) of his emotional maturity.
@@MagisterialVoyager I really like Peter Hyatt and Deception Detective, both do mostly true crime topics but Deception Detective also has videos on lighter stuff
This creep is the type of guy to read these UA-cam comments and think the video was edited to make him look like the bad guy.

Yup. Disgusting
Plot twist: his wife was the scammer and she did not die of cancer, she just wanted to escape him. One can hope.
I said the same thing! Scamming is the only way she could get anything out of him!

I can't believe this man was a teacher. He has the emotional maturity of a child.
A teacher in Special Needs, he said.
I think more likely he's a teaching assistant/support worker, with very little education.
I don't believe he's a bona fide teacher, as most of us would interpret that.
And yeah, they go where they know they'll make sense. He wouldn't survive in a place that people expected extreme maturity.
He is a moron.
He told Blanca that the reason he fell for this scammer is because he likes to help people, that he is a helper… I’m quite sure that it had nothing to do with her provocative images 😉

Why does he call his wife "my Phillipino wife", this implies he has more than 1 wife and doesn't respect her as he should

His poor wife. She married a scammer herself. Dying of cancer and no husband to support her through it. What a slimeball. He'll probably get into another scam because he's just so full of deceit and sliminess that he doesn't even know what the truth is. Gross.
I would like to say how well Drew, Brianne and David handled this guy, well done, I love the way you put honesty and transparency at the fore. Good peeps!!! Nice to see.
Guy is feigning innocence, and pretending to be dumb about the packages. He knew what he was doing. Dude is a creep and deserves what he got.
Oh. I’m a teacher and work in hospitals. I’m so wonderful and good and clean and giving and and and and …
He’s trying to use this show to clear his name
@@wordplay6665very good point ! He’s probably getting a cut .
He also stressed that he was an educator and volunteered at a hospital many times even though it's not in the discussion. This is a psychological ploy to win the team and us over in the hopes we all buy his sob story or it makes him seem innocent and believable. The guy is duplicitous af
@@cherrymetha3185 of course he's getting a cut. he refers it to "working for vera"
You could tell he was lying every time he spoke based on his rotten-ass word salad alone. Dude couldn’t string together a coherent sentence to save his life.
Thanks, I thought it was just me, thinking he has a really weird way of speaking, like dodging the question...being evasive...going totally off-topic, it was strange!
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 deflection
YES! I couldn't put words to what it is about this whatever it is (liar, idiot) but you hit the target: "word salad.". Every single time it opened its mouth , a word salad came tumbling out.
"When you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory." - based from Mark Twain; often repeat by Judge Judy
Amen. Love her. 💥 ❤
Love her
Love it!
I don't like her much but she is often right 😂
It was Mark Twain who said that. Judge Judy merely copied him.
I heard it all my life from my father, long before anyone had ever heard of Judge Judy.
This guy scamned his wife out of finding a good husband.
A pathological liar, insane. He cares for no one but himself and wants it that way.
I thought he was trying to nice it up
He deserves nothing! No help, no sympathy.
Yes
Can't believe he got $1000 out of this.
he deserves to be scammed way deep. he’s horrible.
This is education for us. Practice to spot these types
Except jail. He does deserve jail.
This is hands down the most unlikeable person I’ve seen on this show. He tried to present himself as this kind, caring, humble, God fearing man. Instead, he lied non-stop, cheated on his wife for 10 years, broke the law BY LAUNDERING MONEY, spent thousands of dollars chasing other women but couldn’t be bothered to see his wife when she was dying, or even to support his child though a horrible, horrible time. I wouldn’t worry about working on that “self love” you talked about, Michael. Self love is ONLY love you’re displaying. Even when David called him out on his b***s***, Michael continued to lie, refuse to take accountability, and to try to hang onto his humble, Godly persona. Ugh!!! Huge kudos to David and the Social Catfish team for their unfailing kindness, authenticity, and professionalism. It’s the exact opposite of what Michael displayed.
Self-love? More like selfishness. Self-love would require actually feeling love for yourself as well as other people.
If he really was a man of God he would have known things held in darkness will be brought to light, like what happened in this video 🤣
Yes that's what I thought too, he comes across as so disingenuous and hypocritical. You can tell he doesn't feel responsible for any of it, he is only thinking of himself and trying to make people believe he is "allowing" himself to move on
He's up there but for me the worst has to be the guy who tried to buy the woman he was talking to.
These guys…who is raising a man like this?
Pretty ironic that this man works in special ed. I think he needs to be a student of the classes.
Lol😂 you wrong
this guy is just horrible, tells lies like breathing, and there's a blankness to his gaze that creeps me out, can't believe he works in school.
He works in a school or a hospital? He switched halfway through his story.
@@mycinnamongirl He said he works days as a teacher and nights in the hospital
Let's all hope his employers and coworkers see this so they can get rid of his creepy arse.
He’s definitely lying about being a teacher.
Yes he is disgusting and a liar
He's in education? Special Ed? How does he keep up with his students?
😂
💯🤣
I'm telling you from first hand experience , Spec Ed teachers has staff that supports and do all the physical portion. Spec Ed teachers only plan. That's it
I was in Special ed & in my last year of high school I did not get much. Our teacher was worthless. My parents complained about her. & she just sent us out all on job. So she did not have to teach. Few reasons I was very, very glad to be done with school.
😂
He’s gotta be one of the worst of the worst I’ve seen on here. So selfish and heartless!
The worst
"It's because I work in education - it just makes me a kind and caring person, kind of like a saint, really. The average person just can't understand how great of a person I am because of my kindness and caring."
He could not be more full of crap.
The worst and what a liar.
Did he not think it strange that she had no money for groceries, but she could travel to Memphis on business? 😏
He should've flown to the Philippines to be with his daughter, who just lost their mother. Everything is about him. Some of these scammers are just Karma.
I doubt his wife asked him to remarry. Such a lie
His daughter’s better off without him. Abandoning her is probably the one decent thing he’s done in his life.
Yes
Cheated for 10 years that's why he wanted her to stay in usa
Being dead is an upgrade from being married to him
Ja wohl!
IKR?
True!
😮
Poor woman. She was way out his league.
Aint THAT something!!!!
So they found all the X-rated chats with women on his phone while he was married... 100% liar and cheat confirmed
Yes
The nerve of him saying to the camera (to us and the team) that he was grieving and wants pity for his wifes passing. Sure, I feel sorry for the wife and the daughter but not him whatsoever.
Dunno why he even came on the show. He lacks a lot of the regret and disappointment that the other victim guests go through. He didn't speak upon anything to do with the real identity. Esp when I compare him to the other victims eg. They're distraught, spent all their savings, angry at the scammer and demand them show their face/admit they're not who they say they are etc etc...
In fact he gave as little info as possible because he has so much to hide. Evidence for me is when they catch him in changing parts of the story over and over!!!
Really Sad
Oh was that the really offensive stuff that they found on his phone? From other women? WHILE he was married to a wife who had cancer? Bro I never wanted to punch someone in the face so hard in my life and im a pretty chill guy😂😭💀
He says a lot of words without really saying a lot. He doesn't want any help.
GET THIS GUY AWAY FROM CHILDREN
if it was kiddie korn they wouldn't have aired this episode, they would have given the phone to the police.
Catfished confirmed that it was NOT that, thankfully!
Strongly agree
Ikr u see it too!!
I agree asap
A true sociopath. He just tells people what they want to hear. I don't think he knows the difference between truth and lies. Very scary individual.
Yeh, quite the psychological study
Kinda funny though, with the amount of lies he tells one would think that he would be good at it, yet everyone saw through his bullcrap in the first 10 min.
What did I just watch? What an awful human being. He’s worse than the scammer. Doesn’t seem to care about anyone but himself. You’re better people than me being able to do what you did for him
Yeah just with getting "help" for him. He was babbling about "plan out and stuff like that. Especially for free and stuff like that." Social Catfish is offering to get him help and he basically turned it down bc he doesn't really want to change.
This guy is SUPER creepy!!
I’ve long considered catfished people as active participants at this point, this guy takes the case for most unlikeable non “victim” no shame in his horrible and delusional actions
And he works with special needs kids. God help those kids
@mrssolomon3127 exactly....most hospitals and schools have EAP. (Employee Assistance Programs) that provide free counseling services and/ or referrals. Red flags all around this story!
37:13 GET EM!! He's been dressing up his own narrative for far too long. As Judge Judy has said before "when you tell the truth you don't need a good memory".
