Why does everyone think he is this ‘mastermind’? Far from it. He never graduated high school. He is actually not that smart. Only weak minds with psychiatric problems are attracted to cults like scientology. People read too much into what is behind his crazy eyes and actions. It’s basically just that. He is a phony because he doesn’t know how to act in the real world, and he is keeping hidden so many lies. He basically has a short man syndrome (napoleanic complex), is insecure and is a control freak because of it. He has so many issues he has to manipulate young naive minds (girls) who are not quite complete yet. Their brains have not fully developed and are insecure themselves. He latches on to that. Unfortunately for him Katie grew up and with the support of her family figured out what she was living with. This happens when a young woman has her first child. Priorities change and a lot becomes clear. Love isn’t blind anymore. She is smarter than him and mature beyond his comprehension. More power to her.
