| 41. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 00:00 Indeed, the fact he took his own life is an absolute tragedy for the family he has left behind and the life he could of had. However it doesn`t change the fact that you said he perpetrated a grift which by definition is to illicitly gain money or property. Now if you are correct in his motivation then the victim would have to be his employer who fell foul of his scam. Now whether his employer, Cambridge University, should have been more diligent in their vetting process is neither here nor there, they were still the victim. People get scammed everyday and it would often be preventable if they had exercised caution but therein lies the art of the scam. I don`t understand how you can say he was grifter and then expect the grifted to be blamed for for the tragedy that then unfolded. Not sure what Andrew Windsor has to do with it unless Cambridge Uni is involved in any aftercare he has received. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 42. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 00:08 What a load of waffle. I`ve been scammed plenty of times, I don`t wish death on those who scammed me, six months in Saughton maybe. Arday was a grifter and I`m sure his acts somewhere along the line would`ve met the criminal standard. Yes, I`m eulogising him for what he was. A man who played the long con and was caught with the chance of redemption. Let`s have a bit of reality here. I`m an occasional poster of dry wit on a website whose halcyon days are long behind it. Of a mid-table, second-tier football team who have become a flight of fancy for some bawbag yank millionaire whose fans think past glory is some secret to success. Of a pretendy city that`s really a mid-size toun in a peninsula that calls itself a kingdom. In a country that`s not really a country but everyone pretends it is because we have nice tourist traps. In a real country that is run by idiots. In a thread that is off topic, with a few dozen posts on it. What I say does not matter, here or anywhere else. Having said all that, The Pars are the greatest football team, I love our fine city and I`m fully behind the current ownership of our club.  Reply |

| 44. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 00:23 Who wished him death? Nobody that I`ve heard or read and certainly not Cambridge University. I`m glad to hear you didn`t wish death on those that scammed you. If they were ever caught may I ask what level of aftercare you would have offered? I`m not bothered that you think he was a grifter, you`re maybe right, and you`re certainly right that nothing said on this forum has any consequence or effect on any real world event. My point is I don`t think Cambridge Uni is responsible for the tragic act that Arday has seemingly done in the last day. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 45. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 00:32 I don`t have to make that judgement, Cambridge Uni already did. "Cambridge University stated: “We also fully recognise that there is a person at the centre of this situation, and we continue to provide support to him.” That`s what they said, irrespective of whether you, I or they think it was merited, they promised it. Arday`s fall was spectacular in a very short period of time. For my scammers getting caught is an occupational hazzard, Arday lost everything, job, colleagues, James O`Brien, reputation all at once.

| 46. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 07:48 The weight of his own embarrassment killed him, he did this, true to form though it`s the race card being waved furiously. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 47. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 09:24 Actually, as someone who is AUDHD, reading his false claims of being non verbal is kinda sickening, many of us struggle early doors, not to talk but to know when to talk, how to react sometimes, it can mean later development, abuse, mockery, genuine pain, screaming on the inside but nothing comes out. This is not a cool guy. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 48. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 10:08 I`m no medic Dandy, but I suspect he had some significant mental health issues. It seems a wee bit inconsistent to have a go at someone for having issues with the justification that he faked a story about having other issues. Terribly sad story for all involved and impacted. I`m sure we all agree on that, at least. Hope everybody has a good day and we can celebrate with a win later. Reply |
| 49. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 15th Aug 2026. 16:20 I really feel for his family. It’s the absolute worst when someone decides to take their own life. I also have to say though that perhaps pandering to someone who told so many lies has lead up to him taking his own life. Perhaps the nonsense he was talking was an indication of his mental state, it wasn’t an indication of how strong he was to come through so much blah blah blah that we were told, it wasn’t. He should never have been put into the position he was in. COYP Reply |
| 50. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Tue 18th Aug 2026. 09:08 And now vigils and the gaslit rave card being waved furiously, no mention that other bodies such as the police were investigating some of his claims. Black liar good, it seems. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 51. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 18th Aug 2026. 10:07 If his race has been the reason to allow his fantasies to be accepted, then that needs checked up on. It seems more like he was just a believable fantasist who managed to take people in...including his wife who surely knew so much of what was said was untrue? Reply |
