There is no shame among these thieves, I can assure you. The type of people that run GDSM spend their whole lives lying, and they lose no sleep over it.
If Shea had cleaned house, and somehow purged GDSM of Lovito, Michelle, and Parasito, he might have pulled this off. But he obviously had no power (or desire) to do that, and the fact he seems okay associating with the likes of these thieves is very, very telling.
