And yet even without having Machinima money he's managed for several years.I really enjoy the way that Phil can be counted on to eventually hang himself with the sheer amount of rope his paypigs give him. On top of being dumber than he thinks he is, Phil has absolutely no shame, no regret, no desire to plan far ahead even for the sake of his actual job (which is grifting), no appreciation for being blessed with such easy marks, inadequate computational ability, and above all, an absurd level of contempt for an honest days work.
Anyone, whether they're running a legit business or peddling snake oil, who lacks those things is always going to lack the motivation they need to stay ahead of their own self, to be prepared for when things go south. In Phil's case, it's causing him to really fuck up his scams lately, and by the time he moves to do something about it, it will be too late.
The truth of the matter is that if there was a dearth of suckers in the world scammers (and the scammy scams they do) would cease to exist, but unfortunately there's one born approximately every sixty seconds or so I'm lead to believe.
Phil is nothing if not an object at rest. I rhink even as extravagant as his monthly expenses are that they don't vary wildly from month to month excluding special events like new console releases. He's perfectly happy maintaining a baseline level of begging so long as it continues to work. He won't ramp up unless there's a special need.
