I'm telling you, he's in it for the scam/money first. I know a few people who are bipolar and one of the defining traits with them is their distinct lack of trustworthiness. They are always out for a scam and you have to watch yourself because if you give them the chance they'll take shit from you without thinking twice. On the other hand, they're so incompetent (generally speaking) that the scams/hustles are so obvious it's almost charming in a deranged sense.
Jonathan on the other hand is schlubby wannabe pedo and there's nothing remotely endearing about him and anyone that gave him a dime is complicit in his predatory behaviour as far as I'm concerned.
