saunders simply does what chas tells him to do. who he really is
and what he does is unknowable.
in my descriptions of chas over the last years, i left out that
along his other stellar qualities, he is a mild sadist. he enjoys
tickling people's hopes, then letting them dangle. he's a sick
dude, shrewd enough to avoid prosecution, and perhaps not fitting
the legal definition of a criminal who commits crimes. but he
leaves a trail of victims and i so wish he'd be made to pay.
