You can forgive a lot but theft and fraud is a deal breaker. He keeps on saying he can't legally say anything and this is only making it worse. It's been 4 months and counting so when will this be addressed, one way or another. He must realise that it's not going to go away just because he says so and creating diversion.Many things can be true at once. I strongly believe Deni to be a narcissist. He may also be experiencing a form of drug induced psychosis which is incredibly sad and hard to watch. Along with other diagnosis they have stated, but the pattern of Narcissistic behaviour has been occurring long before the escalation in MH.
D lacks empathy and never truly apologises. His behaviour to Rebel highlighted the lack of true empathy. Deni is very clever at working people. Hence he has made himself somewhat untouchable. He is an excellent social climber and knows who to charm and who to step on.
Unfortunately for Deni SM can be a trap. People start to notice lies and start keeping record. They talk and share and slowly patterns of lies become clear. Also D chose to play with his community, a community that has sadly a higher level of learnt mistrust. To protect themselves many have learn to be hypervigilant. The radar for bullshit is pretty attuned. People started to feel it in their guts, something wasn't right. Then D made the biggest mistake of all. Stole from the community they claimed to represent. It is validation that peoples gut instincts were right.
We should DM his mother/momager to see what she says about the money.
