he topic of this scammer in our midst has been ongoing for quite some time and hasn't changed.

I think the scam part is bad (and i even posted some videos about it when he went out for witness), but i really think its part of a generally dishonest character.

His whole shtick is marketing for his gold exchange. And to the end of doing that, he attempts to spread panic. Often with patently antisemitic conspiracy theories about what the "bankers" are planning to do on yom kippur (or whatever).

The passport scam is great case-in-point evidence of why tdv is an undesirable, but its not the entirety of the reason.
