how can a guy like him 'manipulate' anything.
are you saying getbig has a soft spot for crazy?
No... for instance.. he tried to buy peoples accounts and friendships, he paid posters to do shit for his entertainment and tried to leverage that into getting his way on the forum. Dude had money and was a tool, and was used to getting his way because he had money.
There was a lot of other things where he tried to manipulate things either using PMs or information he bought or people sent him. It wound up backfiring and he got TO'd.
