An odd part of this story is that he hired a PI to figure out who stole Bitcoin from him. The PI figured out who it likely was and told Jimmy, he refused to believe it because he was friends with the thief.

He just wanted to feel loved and have friends but they were all only there for the money and stuff he bought for them.
