  1. "Alright, I admit. I did fake the call to presumably deceive you. I am however, telling the truth in that I'm in danger and that my sister is kidnapped. You must pay the ransom money, and the fault will be yours if you don't do it. Also I deserve the money because I helped with that one video." [In an actual ransom case, any business status is irrelevant aside from how much of the income can be put into the ransom. It also wouldn't be the employer's fault the victim gets hurt for not believing and paying money to something he hasn't verified.]

    A very particular thing to lie around, to be sure. Somehow he expects to convince with the one part of the story when he was already called out and confessed. You already fooled Green once, and that trust is now gone, Green's got no reason to believe the sob story. Boy who cried wolf and all… Worst part is even if the ransom was real, it's her brother's fault for falsifying… the evidence that she's being held for ransom, which he admitted to. And in the process losing the trust of his employer that would've covered the amount. At the very least, I gather from TV that the captor will give a phone call with the kidnapped victim as something to take them seriously.

    …At least it turns out the sister was out partying and forgot to give the guy knowledge in advance.

  2. Aside from his fabrications, these people filming are putting themselves in danger. I've seen videos posted of secret filming but it wouldn't take much for them to work out who had been taking it. They usually have ther own CCTV in these places to reference from.

  3. Unfortunately, there are people in life that are chronic liars. They lie to others and they lie to themselves. They never take responsibility for their actions. To them, everything in their lives is someone elses fault.

  4. I do not get this guy , I wonder if he does drugs or something. It just seems like such a stupid move to make that story up to him of all people. Like said in the video why would he risk having an open line to him? He would have legit been better off just asking for money.
