Nothing is ever his fault, naturally. Other people were just jealous of his success and wanted HIS money! He was always honest and truthful, they backstabbed him because of greed! Phil is all about taking advantage of other peoples' kindness; only when they catch on and call Phil out does he pull out the "I was betrayed!" card. Whether it be Rambo and Howard (among others) when they made Project 7 together and Phil hogged all the money for himself, or Leanna who cooked, cleaned and threw away years of her life for him only to have her trust totally betrayed with the Hospital Saga where Phil made himself out to be the real victim, or his loyal paypigs who are solely responsible for Phil's financial success only to be berated when they don't give him enough for the day or have the audacity to question something he said, Phil is perfectly willing to go into pissbaby mode the nanosecond the relationship isn't all about benefiting him. Yet he wonders why he's a hermit both on the internet and in real life.
