I don't think Eric planned this all along. Him doing this the way he did makes him appear to be unstable (and irresponsible and immature,) though.
I do have to respectfully disagree with you, I90West. Eric was not always kind, gracious and or thankful about the donations he got. It became expected, in my opinion. The video he posted about removing comments really changed the way I viewed him. I understand removing comments, but he was hostile and rude to EVERYONE, including the people who supported him. I never saw anything negative in the comments that would warrant such a dramatic/angry reaction. I'd been a fan for a long time, but unsubscribed at that point, even though I knew I'd miss him and Jax.
I thought the same, Francesca. All around. He was living off the government and panhandling online. Not a self-made guy who is amazing with budgeting, etc., as he attempted to portray at times. He is going to grad school more to put off paying those student loans. It's not going to be pretty when that day comes.
I'd never considered the angle of the unreported income when it comes to his financial aid. Could that have come to light, making Eric flee? In doing so, he created a monster of speculation. It would have been better for him to keep the discussion going on one of his pages, a page he had some control over. Now there's nothing he's ever going to be able to do about the info out there.
