And in a way, he was.

Man breaks into fortune teller's home when love spell fails.

What I don't understand is how he had this much money laying around for a love spell and he can't get a girlfriend. Um, I'm sure there's some girl who is willing to give it up for that kind of money in the bank. I don't know. Maybe it was a lump sum inheritance, or a particular girl he wanted. The whole thing just seems incredible to me.

It says he's the former manager of some soccer team (if I understood that part correctly) so I think his large bank account must have been more than a sudden fluke. It was supposed to bring back his old girlfriend.

On a side note, I noticed a few interesting things in the comments. 1) you have to sign-in in order to vote a comment down, but you don't have to sign-in in order to vote a comment up. 2) the subjects of discussion (I was more or less skimming) turned from being about the story in question, then into Magick: good, evil or non-existant, then into some sort of religious discussion, then....yep....Obama. Cause how could you NOT make the connection?

Well, I didn't think a Spanish soccer manager would make that kind of money, so I looked up his team. His soccer team got suspended in 2011 for not paying its players at all, and their website apparently gets only 291 unique visitors a day... this isn't a big/major team, maybe AAA equivalent. I don't think this guy is like an American football coach bringing home three million a year... again, where did he get this kind of money? I can just imagine he gave his grandmother's inheritance to this witch, trying to get some girl back. No wonder he went back to the house and beat her stupid.

I guess that's what you get when you buy a spell from a fortune teller.

She took advantage of someone clealry in a desperate position for her own profit, exloited powerful emotions and a practice we all have a passion for. This man was stupid to go for this in the first place, granted, but his reaction is more than reasonable and justified. I don't feel sympathy for the "fortune teller" at all. $212G for a spell? Cold exploitation of someone clearly in a very desperate position.
