Crazy story about a poster on another forum I frequent

[Buck]

There's this other forum I go to sometimes called Forumopolis.

I haven't been there much since the election because, although I'm liberal, I guess I wasn't liberal enough for them (lol).

Anyhow, there is a poster there who has quite a history.

I first joined the forum after Clay showed it to me maybe 6-7 years ago. When I first showed up, the guy was an absolute prick to me for no reason. When I was losing weight he was telling me I was going to fail and whatnot. Just a mean guy.

Anyhow, throughout the years he always asked for posters on the site to help him financially. Only once or twice publicly (one time he needed to get from Alaska to KC or Denver and couldn't afford food for his dog or gasoline). It turns out he borrowed thousands of dollars from people on the site through PM's and whatnot. Most people thought they were helping out a Military Vet (he was a military vet) who was having trouble finding a job/home.

Later, he was diagnosed with cancer. He wrote an article on some surfing website about how he had 18 months to live. Everyone felt really bad for him. He set up a gofundme page to help pay for his cancer treatments. He asked for $10k and he got it and thensome.

He disappeared for a little bit after that and then came this facebook post.

This is probably the last thing I'll ever post on Facebook because I'm going to jail for a very long time, I ****ed up bad this time. So I'm coming clean about everything. I'm a ****ing sociopath.

Posting this publicly so it can be seen by people who deserve to know but aren't my friends anymore.

I owe the biggest apologies to the girls in my life who have had my back through all of this, as well as my Mother and my family, but each of you deserve an individual apology that most of you wont get because I just don't have any time left where I can safely meet people.

Coming clean is hard to do, but there isn't much else to do at this point.

I'm not sick and haven't been in a while. I've used it to play on sympathys and manipulate people into getting closer to me than they actually were.
This all initially started with a misdiagnosis and then once I had started telling people and saw the response the lie snowballed and got bigger and bigger. I got so tied up in the lie that I think I believed part of it myself.

So maybe I'm sick, just not physically.

The last few months I've been extremely mentally addicted to smoking cocaine. If I used any excuse to borrow money the last few months the real reason was smoking coke most likely.

Most of my past is a mix of truth, exaggeration, and fabrication.

I was a Marine. I did go to Iraq. I was a heroin dealer. I did work with Russians.

I was also a full blown heroin addict and junkie and got clean much more recently than I let on. Prior to moving to Denver I had fully relapsed for about a year. I got clean from that whilst driving to Kansas City.

I have access to money I've earned but not to the level I've exaggerated. No one but my parents has ever paid my rent or anything dumb like that.

I don't expect to see or speak to most of you ever again, but you all deserve to know this.

The feelings I've expressed toward each of you were probably a mix of lies and truth. Even I don't know where the manipulation stops and true feelings begin. I can't explain why I function this way, and I won't make excuses, sometimes people are just broken and bad and it doesn't particularly matter why.

I am just a bad person who only cares about his own selfish desires. I have destroyed so many lives to get what I wanted.

All the money he ever borrowed went to drugs. Shocking, right? Not really I guess. I should say at this time, everyone from Forumopolis disowned him and he was permabanned.

I was mostly worried about his dog and I found out that he hadn't had his dog in years and that his mom was taking care of it. That was good news.

He actually ended up serving jail time for some crimes and came out and said he was turning his life around.

He was always posting inspirational bullshit on facebook, but he always was just douchey about it.

On Friday he started posting rants on facebook about how he was near the end of his rope. He got into a huge argument with his mom on facebook and said something along the line of "a half dozen lives hang in the balance" if she doesn't stop arguing with him.

Later on it was found out that he took people hostage in Denver and was shot and killed by a Police Sniper. Pretty shocking shit.

Thought you might like to hear that story.

Nice read

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Guessing he was a Raiders fan

And yes that was interesting

[Sassy Squatch]

Really uplifting story.

[Direckshun]

HOLY SHIT

That was CRAZY. That was an insane story. Wow.

[JakeLV]

****ing wild man. Dude was obviously sick, just not with cancer.

... home boy was a prick to you, yet you kept up with his FB posts?

[Buck]

Also sorta weird, he wrote that article saying that he had 18 months to live due to cancer (which turned out to be fake), and he died 20 months later.

Sometimes you just gotta follow a trainwreck because there's not much more entertaining than that, right? I wasn't his friend on there, just read his posts every now and then.

Wasn't expecting that ending.

I had a similar situation. First real professional job out of college. Manager had some sort of cancer. Everyone knew. He was going to die. Got lot's of sympathy and leeway (frequent doctors visits). Got a huge bonus for his family for after he passed. CEO bought him a vid camera so he could record his limited time before he died.

I mess up and went over his head (in his mind) on something and he fired me. One week later, he was busted faking the whole thing. Terminated!

Sounds like a future episode of Criminal Minds to me.

Did you go back to work there?

I think we've got/had people that nuts on this site.

Man...

Makes me wonder how many people I've encountered online or in real life who pulls the same shit. I know someone who sets up gofundme accounts to visit his freaking Filipino girlfriends...at least he's honest about it, I guess...
