Getting the shipment ready?
Saw this on the random photo thread and thought about this one...

Giving him any money is out of the question. It wouldn't matter what we did for him. His compulsion to prove us all wrong is what drives him. He want's to have a huge pile of gold on his card table to show us how wrong we were.

All he needs to do is stop send these thieves any more money but he won't.

I told him I would kick him in the nuts till he asked me to stop if that would help him. I also told him his dog could come live with me because he didn't deserve to live in a box down by the river because his owner was being so stupid.

I fully expect him to OD on his insulin when he realises how badly he's screwed himself over all this.

This all started with him chatting with a $2.99 a minute sex worker. He told her (like he told everyone) that his sister and brother were screwing him over his mothers estate. The sex worker told him she too was having trouble getting her inheritance (which was in gold) out of the country. I pointed out that gold was the most easiest commodity to convert to cash in the world. Even when I showed him that there were 5 or 6 places in our city that would do that. He chose to believe the con men over us. I told him she could convert it to cash and then send the cash to him if any of it was true. I said to him "you have no problem sending her money, why couldn't she do the same and send it to him?" Because it was all a big con on him. He told her we (all his friends) said she was a con man. Her answer was "That we were jealous of her love for him" She then offered the name of a police officer to him to prove she was a honest person. So the dumb ass actually emails mrpoliceman@yahoo.com (or some such email address) and asks if she is a honest person.

Yes he's that stupid......

It is truly amazing that anyone can be so gullible but those con men make their money from someone. Sorry if I came across as flippant or uncaring. I cannot imagine having someone that I care about in such a situation.
Also nice of you to offer to care for his dog.
