When he runs low on cash, he will fake a robbery or theft.
He will “fall in love” with hard-working women to use their resources and abuse their trust.
He often preys upon AirBNB hosts, staying indefinitely and then selling them on fake entrepreneurial opportunities.
Many of his lies are based on partial truths
He is passionate about food, beverage, business, sports (basketball in particular).
He will talk about his family—they have sadly disowned him.
He will claim to have graduated with a Masters Degree from UC Davis; he never even got his Bachelors.
