He Found Out I Was Rich—Now He’s Imitating Me

Knowing that I had 70,000 dollars a month for living expenses, my girlfriend’s childhood friend, Ethan Cole, suddenly began imitating everything about me.

I had an American-style fringe, so he permed his black hair to match.

I liked tattoos, so he stole photos of mine and visited 20 tattoo parlors until someone could replicate them exactly.

I wore luxury brands. He skipped classes, juggled five jobs a day, and somehow scraped together enough to buy the same outfits.

At first, I thought he was just a pathetic copycat.
