♫Unforgatablllllle, in every way...♫
Taken from the pages of wank_report...
Num8 (now KurwaSuka) was a wolf furry who spent his days happily living in France, running the IRC channel #FursuitTV, making appearances on furry puppet shows, and just generally being known far and wide as an all-around nice guy. Until one day, when he was tragically diagnosed with brain cancer. Metastatic brain cancer.
Because he wanted to spend his last days with the friends he held so dear, a collection was taken up in his name to send him on a weeklong trip to the States, during which he would pay a visit to various furry gathering hubs (and also Disney World). Reports of the exact amount that was raised vary somewhat, but according to Pawpet, the community that was collecting on his behalf, around $2000 was donated to the cause.
But alas, the story was not to come to a happy end. Suspicions about the veracity of Num8’s claims arose in the months afterwards, as no updates on Num8’s status appeared and also maybe because he had supposedly had two weeks left to live. In the midst of mounting evidence that the claims of cancer had been a hoax, Num8 finally made a post to his Livejournal, confirming it was all a lie, that he had in fact swindled unsuspecting people out of thousands of dollars, and that he was stricken, stricken I tell you, with guilt. His profile is also kind of... beyond words, there.
Reactions to the news range from stunned disbelief to vitriolic, frothing denunciation to open-armed, loving forgiveness. Because conning furries into paying for your vacation is kind of like that movie "Gandhi".
The Pawpet community, disillusioned and dismayed, promises that if Num8 ever returns even a portion of the money, it will be distributed amongst those who made the donations. The operative word there being "if".
Meanwhile, Num8 is simply beside himself in his self-flagellation, only standing up to defend himself when someone asks him exactly how he intends to pay back his victims.
Why can’t these people just believe him? What part of "ps: yes refund will be done." don’t they understand? The world may never know.
And why did he do it? What reason could he have to cruelly toss aside the loving trust of friends and fellow furries in favor of a trip to a handful of theme parks? Apparently, he was contemplating suicide at the time (full post here, along with a baffling comment involving the foreign legion), and the only natural course of action was faking a fatal disease for sympathy. Also, "Codydawg and Keenora invited me over, and thought why not as I still had money".
But Num8 also wants you all to know that:
"I DO NOT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS IT'S UNFORGATABLE. I'm aware of it. I failed you all."
"I lied enough, think what you want, but this is the truth.
I was thinking "How can I lie about all this,.. bleh anyway I'm going to die"."
"killing myself is not planned by now, I've a debt to repay, and after I dunno. But I'll be seeing a psy during that time.
I don't have much to say."
And to those who can not open their hearts to forgiveness, those would wish harm on him (say, the kind of harm that would involve cement and a crowbar), Num8 helpfully gives directions to his current address:
"I’m living next to the sea".
