Do you all realize how smart this guy must be- as well as manipulative and determined?
As a teen, he managed to get himself to America. They are saying he was an exchange student, but I do have questions about that. While still in high school, he managed despite being different- both personality wise and via having an accent. He managed to stay here despite being thrown out of the home he was residing in.
He met and married a woman within a short time, in order to obtain his green card- and didn't reside with her after the wedding.
He managed to disguise that accent well enough to hide his origins. He learned how to obtain false documents, how to how to change his identity several times. He learned how to pick identities that would help him meet his goals. He managed to work his way into the upper echelons of society- and that was without having a successful job and despite his noted personality 'quirks'.
And after getting caught, he knew enough to 'lawyer up' and keep his mouth shut, never admitting anything.
He seems totally goal oriented, capable of setting goals, working (in his own way) toward the goal, and if he hits a roadblock to figure ways to go around the roadblock. If this guy had gone straight- who knows how far he could have gone? He could easily have legitimately earned his place in the upper echelon of society if he had gone to college and gotten a job and applied himself the way he did the other way.
Instead he lived his life like it was one of the Hollywood movies he was obsessed with. He took a story and made it the story of his life, and he lived that story. And like watching a new movie, when the first story 'ended' he chose a new 'movie' and began living it.
People in his way or that interfered with his 'movie' were just actors to be removed from the stage or ignored or run over.
This situation with this man and the criminal charges are going to be interesting. He will attempt to manipulate the system, the law and even his own attorney.
