Can I get a Sam Lufti refresher? I'm not sure when he came on the scene, but he was Britney's "manager" after her apparent breakdown. He's alleged to be a grifting, predatory scumbag. Link.

Can I get a Sam Lufti refresher? He's the crazy guy that was Britney Spears' go-to guy during prior to her breakdown. Many say that he really didn't help matters at all and kept her from getting help/staying in touch with her family, etc. I was reading on PEOPLE.com about Amanda's current state and it sounds worse than the first time she was on a psych hold. Her hold expires this afternoon, so I wonder if they'll be extending it for the possible 14 additional days?

Ug. Sam Lufti is this dude with an astounding number of restraining orders against him. His MO is preying on mentally ill celebrities like Britney Spears and Courtney Love, then isolating them and controlling their world. Sometimes that involves drugging them and playing mind games. With Britney, he took away her phones, re-hired staff/security so they worked for him, and then did things like hide her dog then tell her it ran away. He's a piece of shit.

Sounds like he's motivated by emotional sadism and manipulation as much, if not more, than he is by greed. Which is probably why he's not in prison where he belongs. If he were motivated solely by greed he likely would have committed a prosecuteable crime by now.

I remember Britney's folks had a restraining order against Sam Lufti. Maybe Amanda's camp needs to do the same. He's like a predator.

Maybe he is intent on trying to refurbish his reputation. Otherwise, why lure her to LA under the pretense of revenge against her parents only to relinquish her to medical care?

To ingratiate himself to the family so that they trust him to handle things on their behalf.

I hope Jamie and Lynn Spears get in touch with the Byneses and warn them, if someone else hasn't done it already.

Yeah. I totally think Lufti is trying rehab his reputation and insert himself into the situation as a crucial part of Amanda's recovery. I also seriously think some of the gossip leaks saying the Byneses were thankful for what he did, and are about to speak out positively about Lufti, are bullshit. That's probably just news plants from Lufti. Some folks on ONTD are saying that Amanda's mom has been warning Lufti to stay away from Amanda on Twitter (she apparently created an account to try to communicate/follow her daughter).
