I don't believe it. You can get high quality GFE for $100, and I would imagine that's what he did assuming this isn't some sad relative.
I hate giving Synbios attention, and I don't want people to keep speculating about shit, so I will just clarify by mentioning what he told me and hope this thread dies a natural death:
1. She's a student at his dad's art school.
2. She's a hardcore Christian fundie.
3. Her "real" boyfriend is a student at West Point, but she and Synbios have been going out a lot and she is actually lying to her bf because he doesn't like her going out with Synbios.
4. Synbios thinks he has a shot because long-distance relationships never work.
