I wonder how much of the whole thing was a performance for his friends (or should that be Lisa’s friends and family). He mentioned that her mother wasn’t a fan of his on Reddit - by showing some rather petty signs of ‘success’ on Instagram, plus by having lots of money in his account from the GFM, maybe it was all to paint him as a successful business man to them. The 12 or so genuine fans simply massaged his ego and gave him a few quid.
