# 'a certified fraud and menatlist '
sorry but I find those comments more offensive than anything Stephen Fry has ever said, or reportedly said.

# I'm not sure what a menatlist is
maybe he means mentalist like the psychic tv show person?
The fraud thing is accurate though, or close enough, credit card theft

# I'd say there's a difference between
being a fraudster and being a fraud

AT least that was the inference I got from the comment.

# I suspect it's probably also fair(ish) comment to describe that episode
