Notes -
How do you convince people to leave a cult. My failed startup life which lasted for a year had two ex co founders, ones 30, the others 20. The older ones a total scammer and his behavior and influence are terrible. I introduced my younger friend to him and now can't tell him this guy's a jackass as he'd snitch and create drama.
I say this because that scamming mothefucker is convincing my friend into dropping out from his okayish Midwestern uni. The same guy who never cleared 12th grade is now advising people to not go beyond him qualification wise, hilarious.
I'm contacting his friends back home so that they can talk to his parents. I introduced him back when I too was enchanted by my now hated co founder.
So, what's it like to leave a cult, what info is sufficient to make you accept reality? I'm not providing more context because the scammy person in question is a kiwfarms tier lolcow and despite the hilarious anecdotes, I don't want want to sully the board, though I'd happily write a few out here or in another thread if people wish to hear some because I have a lot of them.
Advice, but not what you asked for: If you have essentially cut ties, don't worry about drama. You have just written that you hate the guy, and have called him a "scamming motherfucker."
Tell your 20-year-old friend exactly what you think and what he should (or shouldn't) do.
If you don't want to do this, just let fate take its course; it's none of your business at this point.
