He lived in Indiana, but later moved at some point to Washington State. When Lorne lived in Washington State, where he got catfished by a woman who claimed to like him but was a scammer looking for money.

Eventually, Lorne and the two others stopped showing up. Betty went to the local district attorney, and the D.A. contacted Lorne, telling him to pay her back, to which he agreed.

Afterward, he returned to his home state of Maine.

He would be taken to task by the TCaP community, and he promised to pay them back on his YouTube channel. He had paid back less than $100 during his last video.

He is in denial of his sex offender status, infamously saying, "I am not a sex offender. I just have to register as one." In 2012, Lorne tried suing NBC for forty million dollars and tried going through the appellate court of Kentucky to get his conviction overturned due to what he perceived as poor counsel from his public defender including relief money. Both were thrown out. He would, however, use the n-word repeatedly in future catfishing calls, perhaps due to Ramona breaking up with him. During an interview with Joey's TCaP Channel, Lorne revealed that out of all the predators in the Kentucky sting, John Elliot creeped him out the most. He reasoned that John's smile was unnerving, given the context of his situation. He would also say that during his interactions with James Travis Fowler , he would act "catatonic". .
