Everyone is missing the obvious reason why Teo was targeted by this scam artist, along with several other Polynesian / Samoan players, many of whom are also Mormons and willing to help in any way they can.

The scam artist wants money, usually to pay for "medical bills" from a recent car accident or surprising, unexpected diagnosis (lupus, leukemia) or other misfortune. This is the unspoken, implied loss, that one is obviously reluctant to admit. The player from the Cardinals seemed to imply he gave 'her' money.

The Samoan / Polynesian angle is interesting too, similar to the cultural affinity or manipulation in the Madoff scandal, playing on Jews' cultural affinity for working with a Jewish money manager who supported Jewish charities.

There definitely is something to the Samoan thing, especially since the Samoan/Polynesian Arizona Cardinals FB (Reagan Mauia) was introduced to Te'o's fake GF before she was even his GF.

Maybe Tuiasosopo tested the waters with Reagan first, then moved to Te'o... just looking for the most gullible guy he could spin the Lennay Kekua web with.

if that's the case, why have the scam end many months prior to signing an NFL contract?

Pretty sure Ronaiah is a scamming little shite.

Based on-

Him duping the Cardinals FB by intro'ing Lennay
His terrible youtube vids when he plays piano
His meeting with the ND fan telling her Pookah had Lupus (wtf)
His "The Voice" audition telling sob stories

I think people ignoring Tuiasosopo are missing some of the biggest clues of the whole story.
