I'm getting a little off topic, but I find the psychological makeup of Charlie pretty interesting and how this psychological makeup is leading to Charlie's apparent downfall. First off, let's examine his need to humiliate the Dektor, a minor player in the bogus VSA game that was so small time that the proprietor had to go pro se. As I mentioned before, Charlie "won" the lawsuit but this "victory" resulted in what appears to be a permanent, and seemingly accurate mirrored website that points out such factors as his fake doctorate, fake "scientific" study and all sorts of embarrassing tidbits. Also, threatening the web consultant was way overboard. This legal victory probably resulted in Charlie spending way more in legal fees than any business he may have lost to Dektor. Now, let us look at the ongoing litigation between Gary and Charlie. From what information I could find online, Gary was also a small time player in the VSA charade. The sources I found said Gary made between $25,000 to maybe $40,000 a year, and some years Gary didn't even bother to file a tax return. Strictly small potatoes. The point I am trying to make is if Charlie would have swallowed his immense ego, and settled with Gary several years ago, he could have saved himself from his probable business ruin. I bet Charlie could have settled with Gary for around the $25,000 mark, which is a chunk of change for someone used to making that kind of money per annum. But, Charlie can never admit to being wrong and I believe he clearly thinks he has the kind of IQ that a doctorate holder possesses. Now, Charlie's CVSA clearly failed in the Michael Crowe case to be point he had to settle with the Crowe family. Even though his LLC said in court that the CVSA cannot determine truth, Charlie still doubled down on his BS. Also, although the CVSA was wrong on the case of the probation officer that was falsely accused in court, Charlie still said his machine was right and the PO was lying. I think, like most BS artists, that Charlie thought he could BS, anyone, which backfired during that infamous Brian Ross interview. Charlie tried to wow Mr. Ross by flying into work in a helicopter and having a Ph.D. prominently displayed on his office wall. Don't need to rehash hear, but Charlie came across as a two bit conman. Charlie's lack of intellectual horsepower to go further than the Associate's degree level is clearly embarrassing to him, to the point he had to get a strip mall doctorate. Charlie's façade is crumbling and he is in full blown panic mode. Charlie does not like anyone chipping away at his façade as also evidenced by the threat letter to AP in 2019. Now, what gives me the right to make a psychological assessment on Charlie? I would answer that my years of interviewing probationers and parolees and submitting written reports to the courts and court room testimony under oath. What give's Charlie the right to claim to hold a Ph.D.? Not a damn thing.
