He wants to hire me as a talent scout when I leave rehab, but is willing to pay for my recovery home once I leave rehab. According to him he's "Dummy rich, an anarchist, and was saved by someone in the same way" in the 90s. Can I get fucked over by accepting this dude's help?
It doesn't sound like a trap.
Assuming the recovery home costs $10,000, and an average talent scout costs $40,000 a year, it would be reasonable for this person to pay $10k for someone they reckon is 25 percent better than the person they could have hired as a talent scout.
I had a staff member who worked out in the country and we paid for his whole house.
