Its silly he lacks this much awareness, it reads like he just wanted to be rid of the burden because he can’t figure anything social out
People don’t even need actual bitcoin, they just leave their phone wallet open on a watch address while they “go to the bathroom” on a date, and let their nosy date take the bait and watch the tune change in real time
Money still overrides other preferences and exacerbates poor character development across genders, it just means his way was so bad…. Carrying around suitcases wow.
In my experience, someone committing crimes like this has a fundamental issue with their emotional self regulatory ability. Money enables coping mechanisms (well, clearly just sometimes like in this case!) that otherwise wouldn’t be available. It is also a general motivator, as you note, for folks to do all sorts of things for someone besides general emotional coping type stuff. Like get a house, or whatever.
Chances are his social dysfunction really stems from something deep he’s refusing to look at and acknowledge; and it’s feeding all these behaviors maladaptively. He probably had one particular person he wanted the validation he saw as coming from sex with, and that’s why the suitcase.
Especially since, quite frankly, if he just wanted to get laid and had cash, it’s not like it would take that much looking to find someone to help him with that and it wouldn’t involve more than a small handful of bills. If he could get his act somewhat together, anyway.
Good point! The baggage is never just what’s in the suitcase (or just the cash, as it were), and (to be serious) glad the other person saw that too. The unimaginable degree of shit that they would be accepting if they took it would be mind boggling.
My guess is that because the other party is not the type of person who would have sex for even a suitcase of cash with them, is why the perp wanted them so much they tried a suitcase of cash.
