This. Blows my mind that a guy who has a reputation for being one of the biggest liars and manipulators has everyone eating his story up. Sure, crypto is likely a
small reason for his financial woes, but also this:

He bragged he was rich at the height of things and claimed to have backed out when things got murky. These tweets are Feb and Apr 2021 and he's hardly mentioned crypto since. It's Boogie, he's spun two tales which fall at both ends of the spectrum. He's well off but he's poor. This is nothing new. He often contradicts himself. As shown in the past few pages, he lies so blatantly that you can debunk it within seconds.
I do think his cushy lifestyle is in jeopardy, but will he be living on the streets? Doubtful. He wants sugar babies, he wants escorts, he wants his toys, he wants to consume 4000 calories per day, he wants his MTG cards and he wants to keep phoning in Youtube content and the occasional livestream. Financially, perhaps one or more of these has to give if he doesn't start making more.
This hasn't even been mentioned here, but
@ThatDarnIrishMan did a video when Kiwifarms was down. During the video Irish
showed a clip from a Boogie livestream where Boogie starts typing in the search bar and you clearly see links to Seeking Arrangements, Seeking Arrangements searches and his inbox on there.

Remember that you have to pay a monthly fee to be a member there. This was in July or August. Is he really struggling financially? Struggling to afford escorts maybe.
Part of the credulity is just people ignorant of Boogie taking the featured blurb at face value but I think there is a deeper reason as to why people are buying Boogie's story.
I honestly think most people are just not used to being lied to. Don't get me wrong. Dishonesty isn't uncommon (especially among lolcows). However, most people are just not comfortable telling outright lies. By and large, deception takes the form of lies by omission or through exaggeration. It is a demonstrable psychological phenomenon that most people do not feel comfortable outright lying to other people's faces. For instance, a lie can be spotted by qualifier words (often words that end in "-ly". i.e., "I
basically lost all my money through crypto" or "I'm
pretty much broke") or by half-truths ("
Like I said, I lost my money through investing in cryptocurrency!"). The aforementioned are not technically lies; the former because of the qualifier ("I never said I lost
all my money") and the latter because the liar is merely reiterating what they said before ("I technically did say that!")
If you have ever seen the film
Fargo, this lesson to be wary of outright deception is only learned by the honest investigator the hard way:
by being outright lied to by someone she knows. Only after this personal experience with blatant deception does she reconsider when, during the course of her investigation, she was told a bold-faced lie.
To those who are new to this thread: I recommend following Boogie, if only passively. Boogie is a unique (and unholy) combination of a pathological liar and a malignant narcissist. The former is obvious; on some level he cannot keep himself from lying about every aspect of himself. The latter is essentially one step removed from sociopathy, if not potentially worse due to the narcissist's constant need for attention and power. Though inherently dangerous due to lack of empathy, the sociopath is satiated when it feels pleasure (however gained) while the malignant narcissist
needs to involve other people in their game of social power in order to feel satisfied, as they lack the antisocial quality of the sociopath. A malignant narcissist will not feel satisfaction from pulling the wings off of butterflies. They need human game.
Following Boogie gives one the unique and profitable experience of observing a consistent liar and manipulator. Whatever you may read or hear from Boogie,
you are being lied to. This is good practice for the real world. We tend to give others the benefit of the doubt, if even subconsciously. Lurk the thread a bit and you may be just a bit sharper when being deceived IRL. Boogie is by no means unique. His success is derived from his ability to blend in (despite his corpulent visage), and there are many others like him who, due to lack of notoriety and the associated scrutiny, haven't been caught. Lurk this thread for long enough and you will wonder why anyone ever fell for his tricks to begin with.
