This guy was my instructor at a by-law enforcement course I did. It didn't bother me to find out what he was, but I was never close to him. Super nice guy, though (to me).

Man oh man, I can't even imagine having known someone who did things on that scale. But even though you only had a tangential relationship to him, I'm sure it kinda rattled you a bit, right?
I was part of a community of advantage players in Calgary growing up. Thought I was gonna be a blackjack sharp / poker pro for a living. This was the local legend in both regards. Finished second to him at a blackjack tournament once and my wife (who I was dating at the time) said my face lit up when we shook hands. When I moved on to doing statistical analysis for casinos and casino games, I would help him analyze opportunities now and then completely on the house, still a star struck young man in his 20s.
And now he's just somebody that I used to know.

If you think what I said is victim blaming, you need to be educated.
"If you don't want to be the victim of Crime X, change your objectively innocent behaviour" is victim blaming 101.
