After pocketing the money, the man headed to a liquor store, but instead of spending it on alcohol, he bought food to his beggar friends and poor people. But skeptics have picked holes in the clip they say is too perfect, and an eyewitness claims there’s no way Thomas could have been secretly filmed, because he and the author arrived at the shop in the same car.
