From the sequence of his life events, he was (fairly) capable in his younger years, but a complete lazy ass. So when he discovered his SBO it seems he glommed onto it as a valid excuse to get out of ever working again. Speculation has it that he bullied his doctor (or went doctor shopping) into validating him as disabled.
In other despicable events, he had an issue with a cell phone, which got disabled because it had been stolen. He went on a rage induced defaming spree of the guy who had originally sold it to him, demanding compensation and calling the guy a thief - the guy had no idea the phone had ever been stolen, and had used the phone a couple years before selling it to RLM. I'm not entirely clear on the resolution (money may have changed hands), but RLM retracted his claims and deleted all of the defamation videos - not sure if the library was around when this happened, or if they're lost to history.
