I guess his check was worth more than a broken rib.

Check that: they are probably getting paid in cash. Untraceable and they don't have to give their masters a cut like all the rest of us.

How much do you pay to give your life up?

He was never going to work in polite society again. Never be a nurse again. He will not be able to get a job as a dog catcher. No one would let him near their dogs. He was a sick man with sick fetiches. His life as he knew it was over unless he could go the other way - but he didn’t seem mentally capable to make the flip. Sad really because he was miserable in his head and they took advantage of it. Which seems to be their modus operandi.

He did break a rib. As for the other claims about his fetishes, being a crisis actor, etc - these are false. Some due diligence is needed before repost/repeat to maintain our credibility.

I thought I saw evidence of him as a crisis actor and he'd "died" before . Am I confusing him with another "crisis actor" that was exposed?

Why didn't they arrest him the first time? If he blocked a federal agent and had to be tackled, he should have been charged with obstruction.

That was not going to be my first guess on how he broke a rib.
