I don't know what to make of this person

I work at a restaurant in a really rich neighborhood, we just hired a new busser a few weeks ago, we will call him Tony. So, Tony came into our restaurant and works one day a week, making maybe 100$ a week. He said that he owns his a catering company-- when I asked him why he worked at my restaurant he said he was bored.
So, last week Tony told me that he thought my friend was really cute... so I invited him to a house party after work. He brought over some really expensive wine; we are talking about 1988 Cab. from Napa Valley and other crazy vintages ($50-$150 bottles of wine) Of course we thanked him for it..... the night was winding down and it was a couple people left, so Tony went to his car and came back with "goody bags" for every one (aka and ounce of tree for everyone there)
The next day he was only texting me and thanking me for inviting him over. I ended up hanging out with him last night and dude gave me a watch. I told him I couldn't except the gift, but he insisted.
I was hanging out with another friend of mine today who happens to be a jewler- he said it is a $3000 watch!!!
I don't know what to make of the guy- is he for real? or just trying to sleep with me/my friends?

Sounds like Tony may be linked to something deeper, Tony Salvatori maybe?

Something doesn't seem to add up with this situation. I think maybe his "catering company" has something to do with the "goodie bags." I've known people who will work a part time straight job so that they can at least front like their money is legit. Their real money comes from other sources.

When we were at the bar everyone went out to the ally for a toke session and he provided for everyone. Then a few of my friend asked if he had any extra they could buy off of him-- he told them he had extra but they didn't need to pay him (he just gave them what they asked for)
I just don't understand- is this dude for real?

Sounds strange in my opinion...I mean, obviously its a very kind gesture of him to give out all of these gifts...but I feel like friendship is more than about just giving people material items...especially if you barely even know the people. Sure, it is a very nice thing to do...yet it is also a fairly strange thing to do. Who knows?

Probably linked to some sort of crime but who knows. Either way, I'd just be thankful for the gifts and try not to get on his bad side.

maybe he doesn't have many friends, and wants to network in a different way of approachment. or maybe he wants to get in one of ur friends pants, no pussy for a while? and the gifts well maybe hes inhereted some wealth from a different source..family/crime orgn/ring operation. who knows guess as time goes you'll figure shit out. seems like a good person though

I know he is a foster kid- who just moved back into his foster parents house (they live a crazy multi-million dollar house) while his apartment is being renovated- I know he came from a poor area of detroit...
If I was in his shoes- I would not give away so much shit!! I would give away a gram or so but not ounces upon ounces!

You could just ask in a kind of off hand sort of way. "Dude, I have to ask, where do you GET all this shit?" See where it goes. I wouldn't be prying or anything, but just act curious. He honestly can't think it's normal to give away huge amounts of drugs and Rolex's. There's a reason and source behind it all, even if the reason is he's just a trust fund kid who likes to party.

Maybe he's really dumb?
I wouldn't start suspecting anything fishy until he stops giving you shit, you have nothing to complain about at this point.

you ever see the movie Richie rich? this is that guy he just grew up and started growing buds. basically he is a rich dude with no friends and he figures at least some of the people he gives material things to wont think he is creepy and hang out with him. that's all he really probably wants. that and some ass too.

If he is a trust fund kid then bless him for doing it right. Maybe a little socially inept, but he's trying to not be a complete douche.

I guess I should have explained this as well- If he is a trust fund kid... he is a trust fund kid giving other trust fund kids free shit (I am like their poor little friend who just happens to work in the area)
I found it really weird because all of the people we are going out with and smoking with are rich as fuck! These people don't care if you pay for them or not- and money doesn't impress them!
maybe he is socially retarded

I'm guessing he's involved in something shady, but I'd accept the free gifts. Just don't sleep with the dude and let him win.
