I don't see what the big deal with managed girls is... Same as any other business, some people have the resources and what it takes to be on their own, others need that support and a swift kick to the ass every now and again.
And is it really a scam if he says that he can make them some money and he does actually make them some money? Really, if they aren't happy with that money, they can just say ya know what, I'mma gunna take my p**** out into the wild on my own.
