Not really. This guy clearly gets a kick out of abusing other people so abusing other abusers is the logical next step. Parasiting on parasites, as it were. As to why anyone in that particular branch of "life" ever trusts anyone else I can't fathom, but maybe I lack something in my upbringing... Word to FBI and other law enforcers: discover master passes, release them, diminish the scene. May cost a bit of pain but IMHO it's worth it.
