Everything about them is a lie and fake. They’re not playing violins, those are not the children with them, they don’t have cancer, those limps are probably fake as well.

It's not bravado. It's actually a nationwide problem, there are fake violin players busking all over the country. No other instruments, just fake violin playing. It's scamming but looks fancier than asking to resurface your driveway.


I mean, if people enjoy way CB in this and give him money, it’s not a scam. Different from people going to doors and “inspecting” your roof by doing damage and then saying they need to fix your roof.

He's not that different from the rest of the county, which takes money from McLean but refuses to invest in the area. That's an even bigger grift.

In many places, busking is licensed - in part to prevent this sort of fakery.

Worse:

- he plays recorded music while he pretends he is the one playing it. Then asks you for money. If only there were a word

Why can’t giant kick them out? I can’t stand the panhandling.

The panhandlers are here because they make a lot of money. They would go away if people stopped giving them money.

Right in front of the Giant in McLean.

He does not play the violin and I’m sure his sign is a lie as well. So fake and so annoying!

Stop giving this faker money; it only encourages him to come back.
