I'm definitely calling him a scammer.  He lied to be about his circumstances in order to get the loan (premeditated).  Did you read the entire post?  This has been ongoing for months and he has been home, hitting up the casino, etc.  All the while, getting, opening, and reading my messages and not replying 1 single time.  I've literally begged him to not make me make this post for over a month now.  He reads the messages and doesn't reply.  So here we are.

I didn't dox him.  I gave people his name, his rough age (I know his birthday), and a photo of what he looks like because he frequents tons of conventions and events.  I purposely left out DOB, phone number, address, etc.  

I've met him quite a few times at conventions/events, known him for years, and have even shared a rental with the guy.  I regarded him as a friend.
