It is possible the guy has some sort of mental illness?

I have a cousin with bipolar disorder, when he's stable he's tries to make up for the crazy/weird things he said when manic, only to say it all again next time.  When people go hard on him for that, he gets depressed.  It's a roller coaster ride!  I sympathize with anyone affected by a mental illness.

Sometimes it's hard to take, but you just have to understand they cant help it and in most cases would give anything to be free of it.

...Or he could just be a jerk?

Bipolar was just an example.

I'm not one for labels, or excusing a persons behavior with them, but couldn't "Con-man" behaviour be characterized by a mental disorder/disease?

eg:

Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a mental disorder defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual: "The essential feature for the diagnosis is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood."[1] Considered essential features of the disorder are deceit and manipulation. source:Wiki.

I prefer to remain open minded on the subject.
