Phil has proven and admitted that he will lie for convenience and spin a lie for years upon years. He also showed no remorse during the reveal, in fact he showed negative remorse because mentally ill detractors shouldn't have been looking into his spending to begin with and he's just angry because he got caught. So why did he come "clean" when wanting to tell the truth doesn't factor into his decision making process at all (just like how not wanting to have a pedo around didn't factor into banning Derich)? Even if this was the truth, you'd have no reason to believe him when his story makes no fucking sense and he's outright admitting to you his MO is spinning a lie forever because he just wants people to shut up about it. Preaching to the choir, but this shit is on a new level.
Also, shitting on Craig in his invitation email, then admitting he lied to him for hours, after crying for over a year that the whole interview was a trap and they never wanted to believe him... what the fuck are you doing, Phil?
