Geoff: Tonight, another edition
of moments of truth.
>> In the real world I was
falling behind in this digital
fantasy.
Hello, I am a 30-year-old
graduate student.
I am David's dad.
I don't think it first I had an
inkling something was going on.
There was this online puzzle
that starts with basic
problem-solving.
Take an anagram I realized I
could not.
There were other thus well-known
puzzles.
There was a shadow group, let me
in, I would be a member.
I was going through a hero's
journey.
Challenges, puzzles.
>> Did you get more desperate to
crack the code?
>> My relationship began
failing.
My income was paltry at best, I
was not sleeping, I was taking
drugs.
I started getting paranoid.
Some point, there was a
traumatic event that brought it
all to ahead.
People were knocking, I was
terrified.
>> It's troubling to not know
what to do.
>> Help to on a path to
recovery.
>> Yes.
I wish I could give more than a
single moment of not believing
in conspiracies, not being
judgmental, I was able to slowly
climb back out.
>> Thank you.
>> Things were taking a turn.
>> I have gotten two batches
agree.
>> I wanted to know what
happened to me and help others
in the future.
I have to be honest.
It's more invigorating going
through the proper channels.
>> I hope that your mother and I
were not accusatory.
>> At the end of the day I would
have dismissed anyone except you
guys.
