So let me get this straight.  You guys found a homeless guy that was down on his luck.  A war vet that had lost his job and his home.  Found out that he used to play magic,  and invited him to come and play.  All fine and good so far.  Then he shows up at the event and has a fully powered /dualed collection and such,  and you guys get him to start playing competitive vintage,  rather than offering to give him THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS for his cards so that he may be able to get himself situated again.  (I understand that according to this story,  a while later he gets a job painting,  but there was no way of knowing that this would happen when you guys got him started playing)
