The Gamer, Phrogger, Sugar Baby & People's Temple

In 2006 I started to feel concerned about a man behaving #erratically. He'd been unemployed for an extended period; yet he had no problem w/income. He was a graduate from #AcademyOfArt & a self-identified #Gamer & #Writer.
His parents own property in #ClearLake; former members of #JimJones #cult; #PeoplesTemple; based on their #ideology, #behavior & #company they #kept.
He sat at home & played #WorldOfWarcraft all day. He had an entire network of anti-social friends & #missions they preformed together.
He was trying to #hack the system w/#coins earned in gaming & convert them to actual currency.
His best friend was also from his hometown; also People's Temple. She went to Academy of Art too. She earned income from sex-work & #MLMs (multi-level marketing).
His other best friend, was a woman he was in love with; a #SugarBaby & member of SF #OneTaste #cult.
How he acted around her, is the person I knew & liked. Charming, intelligent, whitty. It was a flavor of Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde; a red-flag for #NPD.
He didn't seem "criminal" to me (until TX AG approved my 2021 terrorism case).
Back then he just seemed like a "nice guy" who had no luck. My heart can go out to the #underdog.
In truth, he was practicing #IdentityTheft for digital currency; becoming entrenched underground marketing groups hired for real-life missions; for points, cred, crypto.

His employers are #intentional. Extreme Right Wing donor's pay for campaigns re: #election votes (which I obtained evidence to legally prove Q4 2023).
Or by Corporations to intentionally sabotage a competitor via fake online negative reviews. (DOJ conviction of 5 for fraud in early 2000s.)
Or by #SpecialInterests. (At least 3 men who funded; have been convicted by #DOJ for #laundering.)
Overly excited, w/quick chatter like little girls can get during an elementary school sleepover when they're "strung out" on soda pop; he went on about #Phroggers. He thought they were cool & "the best".
I researched #phrogging in 2023 after a series of break-ins in Maine on assignment; where I'm writing reports about ERW Men; related to Pink being imprisoned & trafficked; a child #Scarlet having gone missing; #XavierHarrelson who I met on the underground railroad before Scarlet & before the police recovered his body; more.
Maine has a significant influx of #CarCampers for a portion of the year. Yet it's illegal to camp year-round.
However, a portion of those who sit in their cars in #ParkingLots near hotels who appear to be #homeless, seem to be utilizing relationships & sneaking in & out of specific buildings; ushered in & out by tenants.
Initially thought it might be drug related; yet after observing them, there are indicators of #phrogging.
"'Phrogging,' (pronounced like 'frogging' but there are no Kermits here) is the creepiest means of 'couch surfing' ever. A Phrogger is a person who, rather than “hop” from couch to couch, will secretly take up residence in an otherwise occupied space unbeknownst to the homeowner"
