I just love how fucking disingenuous this shitbag is, Nick’s entire relationship and history of contact with Vic has occurred in the public eye. They first “met” when Nick invited him on his show to tell his story. Nick found Vic extremely compelling, and began investigating. From there he initiated the GFM. Either this con or KC would be the first time they ever met face to face.
Whereas Shane talked his way onto Nicks show by claiming along history of dealings with Vic. Being old friends/colleagues, as Shane, as a big manager of multiple cons!, could help “rehabilitate” his old friend. It later became clear that Vic had no idea who Shame was, had no contact or communication with Shane beyond a perfunctory and wholly anonymous administrative encounter with Shame at A-Con one year, when Shame was the office boy who delivered the check.
How embarrassing!
