“For me, it was four and a half thousand. For someone else it was 1,200. The largest amount I know he’s taken from a single person was 20,000,” claimed the alleged victim News 4 interviewed.

“[Doyle] is like, ‘I just literally do not have the money to put gas in my tank and drive so I can leave this place.’ I’m like, Well, ‘You’re a lot more prepared than I am.’ I’m like, ‘I can give you $50,'”

“Then it turned into this whole, ‘Well, my account is overdrawn and I have a pending check for a couple thousand dollars, but they aren’t going to release it to my checking account until my account is brought back into the green’, which I knew wasn’t true.

Cute mugshot!

by Anonymousreply 5June 17, 2023 3:13 PM

Couldn't he have chosen something better than a tank top for his mug shot?

by Anonymousreply 6June 17, 2023 3:13 PM

I wonder if it was to feed some addiction?

Or… if he was a rich kid who didn’t know how to earn money after his trust ran out or whatever, and slowly realized his looks and “fame” allowed him to easily bilk impressionable gay men out of money? One thing lead to another and he ended up here.

This is something that can happen to rich kids.

A-List? Seriously, the bios of those people are just plain sad.

A-List in the gay community requires looks or money. None of those people had either.

If you can look good in your mugshot (tank top aside), then you are probably really really really good looking. My guess is he was given that money willingly, but didn't follow through on offering up the hole.

Even at his youthful height of attractiveness, he wasn't much more than slightly above average. Certainly not A-List gay looks.

A-List gay looks are Geffen boytoy, Donovan Michaels, or DL Fav Pietro Boselli.

Or like most “reality” television “stars” he was a broke amoral scammer willing to do anything for a few dollars.

Instead of referring to them as “impressionable.” Let’s call a spade a spade. He scammed lonely, foolish, horny gay men.

[quote] Lonely I get. Why do they give money to someone who is not providing physical companionship? Or was he promising something in exchange for the money?

Dataloungers should be able to answer that question. They gave their hard earned social security dollars to some scammer, who used to post here. I can’t remember his name now, maybe Brandon.

Too bad he couldn’t fall into Peter Thiel’s haram circles (I’m sure he wanted to). He’d qualify… some of those boys certainly were average in the face department!

Who cares? If it hadn't been him they would have been suckered into giving their money to somebody else. Most of these losers were saps just waiting to be fleece by any attractive male that gave them a little bit of attention.

Welcome to grifters on dating apps. Nothing new here. I learned how to spot them pretty quickly when I tried a couple apps (OK Cupid and one more that I cannot remember). The scams, the misrepresentation and general weirdness drove me off both- although I did meet and date a nice guy on OK Cupid. We’ve become good friends. The rest was a waste of my time.

Gurl he ain't all that. I may front him for a uber ride or something but certainly not give him thousands of dollars. The elder gays that gave him all that money need to have their head examined and have a custodian in place for their future expenditures.

Obviously, they're not going to get billionaires. But, there are plenty of attention whores who have money out there and definitely hot guys desperate for money, fame, and attention. There are obviously local celebrities and such, as well.

I've been to Dallas often enough to know that there are plenty of extremely hot guys walking around and plenty of people who have local A-List level of money.

And yet, it's guys like Todd Chrisley who are choosing Reality TV to raise their profile and then crash and burn in an epic fashion. Reality TV is car crash entertainment where an edit can easily turn you from a hero to a villain or common scam artists find new rubes to take advantage of and then get caught.

While true, in 2010 when A-List Dallas came out, we had yet to see the utter trainwreck that reality tv is. Real Housewives had just begun in Orange County in 2006.

OP gave a misleading headline. He was not "arrested" for stealing money from those guys. That would have to go through civil court and they will have to prove the money was a loan.

That mugshot was from an arrest for a separate bank fraud case.

Oklahomo here. I've seen this coming for over a decade. Watched him from the time he was "world famous" in small town Oklahoma in the OOs. Us yokels get impressed by reality star celebrity. One of the most striking moments was when I saw him at the OKC gay bars suddenly bulked up and speaking about an octave lower. He was never inordinately mean or bitchy to me, even though I'm a poor, gen-X, Native American homo outside his sphere (/s - that denotes, sarcasm, son). However, I sure as hell never contributed socially or materially to his cult of personality. "Stealing thousands," how provincial.
