Despicable if true, and will have a serious knock on for actual victims of crimes along these lines.
As I said in the previous thread, the whole story didn't quite add up from the start, but I'd initially bit my tongue out of not wanting to pile on someone who was presenting as a victim of a hate crime, it was only when things got more suspicious that I voiced my doubts.
Hopefully now posters who accused myself and others of spreading "baseless and harmful conjecture" can now see mine and others healthy skepticism for what it is.
I just hope that genuine victims of hate crimes don't get associated with this kind of fraud, and that justice is served in this case.
