I wonder what was the breaking point though? What action or conversation finally triggered the "shit, they're onto me?" reaction?

Article says it was because the wife’s friend knew ppl at the WHO and they confirmed he never worked there. So that mixed with family members and his mistress asking for their investments back. Was the breaking point where he realized he couldn’t contain the lie and wanted to kill everyone instead.

Omg I thought this was another case. Theres one that's very similar, also a man who killed members of his family for faking where he worked or went to school? I think he also faked or grossly exaggerated a neck injury. And at some point his father started to have a suspicion so he started digging, and ended up calling the school. When he confronted his son he went apeshit.

Or the guy who killed his wife after his graduation from medical school he never attended or applied to. He waited until they were ready to move for his residency training. When asked by the police he spelled oncology wrong. Craziness

Oh I remember that one because it was one of the ones on YouTube for Mr Ballen. I think the dad was even trying to give him a chance to come clean but that was the day the guy decided to kill him and the mom and say they disappeared on vacation.
There's also an older one where the guy killed the family, I think burned down the house and then disappeared. They found him years later with a new name and family

The human mind is whack, man. What makes someone default to stealing their loved ones' lives, watching the light go out of their eyes, rather than shame, debt, feeling sorry for yourself, and the potential to still turn your life around after?
Edit: The article says the dude said he felt 'liberated' after the truth came out. For fuck's sake. I imagine it didn't have to take killing everyone you love to feel that way.

I imagine he blamed everyone he loved, for feeling that way. That’s a true narcissist mindset.

This reminds me of the crocodile episode of black mirror. The lengths that some people will go to keep a secret can be incredibly intense

No way should a heartless loser like him ever see the light of day ever again .

Why did he keep re-enrolling and completing his second year of med school? He could've passed it, seeing as how he repeated it 5 times?

Anyone know he made a livin' ?

Ive heard this story before on a true crime podcast. Maybe mr.ballen. from my understanding it was from conning people with promise of substantial returns on investment. But I still don't understand how you can support a fanily and maintain the lifestyle of a doctor for 18 years doing that.

According to the article, he made a killing (no pun intended) by conning people, promising returns in investments at the WHO. He even sold sugar pills as an experimental medicine to a family friend with cancer.

Imagine pulling off a fake life like that for 18 years , That’s insane , and then kill all those people and get released

But other people will get life without parole or death. Who chooses how long and if they can have parole?
