For whatever he did, he never needed to be the product of an international pile-on. Even having known and read about this feels like being a party to a tragedy.

He did claim harassment with the police against the journalist who was initally investigating him: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0rd9y99grzo Now consider that this was in UK.

Uh, what about it being in the uk? I guess I've heard the press can be aggressive, but not sure if that's what you meant.

I read about this guy.

He was clearly a scammer but he couldn’t have scammed that much alone.

My suspicion is that he was killed to cover up something much larger.

A scam artist was found out and couldn't handle the truth. I do not feel bad for him.
