The Fannypack Man™ spent YEARS sitting front row for Lloy'd antics. He had to have been fully aware of how Lloyd treated people, the Crisis Of Conscience copyright fiasco, and other instances best summed up as Lloyd being a flat out dick. Note of this is even to mention the red flags in Lloyd's story. Time and again people chose to make excuses for Lloyd's behavior. LOL at O'donnel making the declarative statement last year that any notion of Lloyd being a nonce was untrue. Ehhhmm...exactly how would he know that was a factual statement?
He was a product of an algorithm. It seems that the louder you shout the more credible you become. Why should I believe someone who has only 1300 followers when the other one has 100000? Who is more credible? Who is more spiritual a pioneer or a 10 hour per mont publisher? There is the tendency to give more credibility to those who don't deserve it at all. The regular pioneer has mama and papa who provide everything. The publisher wakes up at 5am every day to work in a steel factory. We can tell thousands experiences like this. And yet many are fascinated by big shouters. I don't judge people who had fallen for Lloyd. I just don't understand how people could still believe this charlatan despite all the evidence. He still get the money when he begs for it. That is concerning.

As for Hassan, I'm gonna guess the same thing applies. If he can use Lloyd and anyone else to sell books, expand his platform and audience, then he'll ignore Lloyd being a dick.
Exactly this. I think we should also separate those who honestly didn't have a clue and fell for him and those who took advantage by standing next to him.
