    Yeah I just cant believe someone didnt tip them off sooner or someone didnt investigate more and realize the whole story wasnt adding up.

    I mean with all of the stories they did on his GF and grandma no one got suspicious when he didnt have any pictures of him and his GF

    So we are suppose to believe that manti innocently believed he was dating a girl whom he had never met that happened to have the worst luck in the history of the world(almost tragic car accident and then died a couple months later of cancer)?

    Yeah right

    Exactly. A lot of the stuff about him meeting her and him talking to her came straight out of his mouth. I'm not saying he was in on it from the beginning, but he certainly embellished their relationship for the media.
