The real freak
This one's gonna be ugly. It's about a friend of mine who went through this ordeal a couple years ago, but I posted the account below on an ESL teacher's website for Korea, so the facts are preserved.

My friend, a half-Jordanian American army brat who grew up in Korea, had a friend who she told me owns a hakwon (roughly translated: study-til-you-get-hit-by-a-subway exam preparatory academy) in Daejeon, Korea. This guy told her the tragic tale of his past: he grew up on a Saskatchewan farm. His father was abusive and his mother was apathetic about it. When he was still a kid both his parents were killed somehow. He and his brother both got a large inheritance (8 million Canadian[which these days is maybe 9 million US]) and his brother committed suicide shortly after.

He did whatever he could with his money; although it brought him no happiness, he donated it to friends and worthy causes. So he offered my friend an insane amount of money to dominate him for six days. She said no. Eventually she mentioned it to another female friend, who confessed that he'd made the same offer to her. They found out he'd basically asked this favour of everyone they knew. One girl even got offered a million dollars.

Then he asked my friend to tie him up and keep her feet near his face for something like six hours. She worked out a deal which would have been around $1500; hey, wouldn't you? He said it wasn't for any sexual reason, just because he needed a woman to dominate him to correct some psychological problems related to his mother's attitude. And it couldn't be a prostitute; it had to be someone he cared about.

Before they were about to do it, he started amending the deal, such as suggesting that they would stay the night together. He did however tell her that he'd wired the money to her bank from his Canadian account. Well she checked, and it wasn't there. She called the Canadian bank, and they said it was impossible to make such a transaction, thus he was a liar.

At this point all of his stories were up in the air. The dead family, the $8 million inheritance, the whole "It's not sexual" thing, and whether or not he'd pay her. I've heard similar versions of this story from other girls teaching English in Korea and suspect they're all from the same guy. I might even be able to dig up his MySpace page if I look hard enough.
