true - it could give him a sense of security knowing he was meeting two people? I recently picked up an item at someone's house and both the husband and wife were there - for some reason, I felt safer - of course, now - I am rethinking my whole buying/selling strategies via FB marketplace. I believe I have been lucky although I do a bit of research before I meet someone.It's entirely possible AB was under the false impression that he was meeting 2 men, because that's what JM told him when they set up the meeting, that him and his friend/brother/whoever would be meeting him. Entirely possible there was no one else, just JM.
