Luke, please refrain from further remarks until Alain and 'Calderwood' have spoken. This is the kind of outburst I was asking you to refrain from. What is obvious and known and very clear to you is not necessarily so to others.
You've said your piece. Continuing to argue your cause actually will have a counter-effect to what you desire. You will have a chance to speak again, later on.
I don't get it, why are you trying this good faith approach? Many have tried along the years, with the same open, professional, serene kindness attitude you are trying to display... for the same predictable result: in the end, they all had to severe links with him. There are evidences of this tragic history all over the Internet if you search a bit. Family, friends, workmates, business relations, medical personnel, people who gave him money: they all had to, after being abused, insulted, publicly libelled, threatened, dragged into police/justice procedures and tolerating way too long those intolerable things in order to help him. The same is going to happen to you.
As far as projects are concerned, he always used the money to pursue random personal side projects, painted himself in a corner, and then said he was gonna die if someone didn't give him 10.000 £/€ or so before a couple of weeks. Rinse and repeat. Those projects and their outcome are in fact just a tiny point in a more concerning and hopeless overall picture, as you understand it. People still waiting for them should better write them off for good, and move on (I mean, I am sure 99.9% of the people already did it).
This has been going on for years (perhaps up to 15 years), and it only got worse year after year. In his good periods, he successfully managed to convince people to trust and hire or finance him, despite a dubious track record; his enlightenment made him good at talking, and many gave him another chance, and then another, etc. But the 'enlightenment' has degenerated over the years into more serious forms, and now the guy is beyond repair, locked inside a deteriorating loop, he is a danger to anyone trying to help him. Many, from different backgrounds and with different skills, tried. To no avail.
