Man gets good deal. Man takes advantage of the good deal. Man loses the good deal.

They claimed that his fraudulent usage included booking empty seats for his companion feature under “Bag Rothstein” or “Steven Rothstein, Jr.” (which they had for years condoned, and Mom says was not Dad’s idea), as well as “booking speculative reservations” — i.e., flight reservations he was allegedly never planning to actually take.

This essay does a poor job of setting up a sympathetic character. It doesn't help that it is annoying when adult rich kids invoke "father/dad" at a Meghan McCain level (twice per minute in this case). He has a name.

He's the equivalent of a fancy upper-class RV traveler
