I mean that some people just don't give a fuck about other people exposing their fraudulent pasts. They live by a scorched earth approach: milk the social circle as long as it keeps working and move on once it's being fucked up because they get found out/exposed. Like I said, for some people, it's a way of life. If that's the case, this guy may just make excuses to pay you next week, no, tomorrow, hey sure buddy I'm going to pay up, I promise! And before you know it, he has managed to stretch the weeks into months and all of a sudden he disappears again and settles down in the next spot. It may take another four years before you find him, but hey, that's four years down the road - and who's to say you haven't given up by then? See how this could work?
