Yeah but no. Loved the article, nice writing style but waaay too generous in terms of your assessment of Rob Earnshaw's intentions for the NYFA.
He looked for some starstruck and vulnerable kids (innocent, ignorant of the ways of the industry) and he squeezed every penny he could out of them, using smarm, "charm" and guile. Then he ran away with the cash.
Pretty sure none of the people who paid over £1,000 each for a course that never happened, was never going to happen and whose hard earned (or parents' money) money lined that shark's personal pockets would agree.
Guile is not a good thing, not when it involves using it to cheat the vulnerable.

Conman. Through and through.
Totally fair assessment, though I would argue 'guile' is more generous than anything I said about him.

I don't doubt it
