He was/is a bright guy to some extent but he was just a wise ass who smarted off to people a lot. I created the account because it was a "holy ****" kind of thing to discover he's become a swindler. I actually have the yearbook from that year (I was a freshman) and he looks nothing like he does now. He looks like he's lost around 100 lbs and grown a beard. Honestly he was a fat kid back then. Except not nerdy because he wasn't as smart as he liked to portray himself as. I talk to a few people from back then, theyll get a good laugh at this. I remember one time he was trying to explain to the teacher why she was wrong over an economics project we were doing and when she failed him on it he threw a fit and his mom or whoever she was came down and gave the principal hell about it.
I'll have to scan the yearbook photo of him at some point.
