Summary: Profile of a moderately successful con-man, who preys on the community of outdoor enthusiasts. He’s been caught, and jailed, multiple times.

If you enjoy reading about con-men, I suggest reading about John D Rockefeller’s father: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rockefeller_Sr.

That isn't a particularly illuminating article - is there more information elsewhere?

Ah, yes, thank you. I read the biography Titan earlier this year — great book. And that’s where I learned about John D’s father.
