Weird story... wish they talked more about what he actually did with all these BMWs and where they all went. I'm guessing sold off at auction to pay his debts? Or did I miss that... I didn't really read in-depth, just scrolled through quickly.
Anyways, totally mental... not a psychology background by any means, but the manifestation of an extreme case of OCD through hoarding and compulsive lying. It's weird that he grew up so "normal" well into adulthood. I guess it took a BMW to kick start the bad habit later in life. |

So the embezzlement seems legit, but I'm still thinking most of the money went up his nose, or into a casino (or perhaps a money laundering gig that he decided was safer to take the fall for than roll over on somebody scary). I just have a hard time believing there are multiple piles of 'sale-ready' resto parts that wouldn't have been used to cover some of the losses; especially when supposedly much of this (and 15 or so complete cars?) were on the premises of the victims. But it could be that denial working in me...

I am with the writer of the story expecting him to be walking or using a bicycle or other more sensible mean than driving an BMW (the same subject that got him into trouble) to commute. Getting a Ford Fiesta maybe a solution though because I don't think he will get addicted from it |

What most people don't know is that carrying out the fraud is extremely stressful and usually the fraudster is relieved that they were caught.

In my experience, when people talk about how much money they are making or how much money they have, there's a good chance they are lying/exaggerating. |

I have amazing reading comprehension and I got through the article just fine, but 1/2 way through I thought, this article is too long.

I'm no mental health professional but the guy definitely sounds like he had something going on. It's actually a tragic read and I would hope the author of the story took the extra step in pointing Terrance's family to the article. His family should read this and understand their husband/father had a problem. I understand the hurt they must be feeling and wouldn't want to be saddled with the financial burden and social stigma of his crime. But it seems clear he has a mental health issue. I hope his family finds it within themselves to forgive him and at some point let him back in their lives in some fashion. If not the abandonment of someone that clearly needed/needs help, is the other tragic part of this story.
As to the cars and parts being sold to pay off the restitution, do you all seriously think the money gained from selling off the stuff would make a dent in the money he owes? For one, I doubt Terrance would have worked hard to get the best deal he could on the parts given his obsession. So he probably paid top dollar or over paid for everything just to have it. Then selling off the stuff at auction wouldn't yield much. Because I doubt any of you all (including me) would volunteer to buy the stuff for what he paid. The whole smelling blood thing and being vultures. Plus the administrative fees by those selling the stuff taking away from the recovered money and you literally have a collection that probably amounted to pennies on the dollar. You see this all the time from other white collar crime situations where the victims rarely get anything back. |
