It is nice that you give him the benefit of the doubt, but perhaps you should read one of the many threads full of very real evidence, showing that Bruce is, in fact, a scammer. He gave a nice attempt at glossing it over, saying that he was overwhelmed and fell behind and then got sued...but then he didn't pony up the money, and fled so it is worth all of nothing.
Don't forget, the he got overwhelmed argument was rejected by the court because in the court filings he couldn't actually provide evidence he helped a single client. Also don't forget he didn't have the license to do what he was doing in the first place, which was in and of itself extremely illegal.
