This was classic! All of the elements of how the term "con" got its name - "confidence game". This grifter had his detractors stumbling to prove he was a fraud by denouncing his grammar and spelling (Which actually was above par in the post-internet era), and his defenders feeling they were protecting a poor, well-intentioned, enterprising young man!
