As a child, Drakar Druella was raised a Catholic and also had been the victim of ritual abuse, so when he turned to a Portland, Ore., psychic last October looking for spiritual advice, he said, her strange requests made some sense.
Drakar Druella says his mental state caused him to give $150,000 to a psychic.

As the investigation continues, who is the victim in this bizarre story: Druella, a transsexual bookkeeper with a troubled past, or Stevens, a fortune teller who believed her client was a willing business partner?

In this day and age I would have to say it is a case of "Yet another vulnerable, credulous person gets ripped off".  If people want money for the use of their 'psychic gifts' they are obviously in it for themselves.
