Or more specifically, conning one friend after another to float his lavish lifestyle, per Page Six.
Friends of Davis are talking to the tabloids, they have had it with Davis' rude and dismissive replies when they ask to be paid back.
Page Six reports that Davis "tells them to "go [bleep]" themselves or 'borrows' money or art from another friend to pay them back."
Page Six listed the outstanding Davis debts:
Carnegie Mellon heir Matthew Mellon. Allegedly sources say Davis had Mellon "pay an $80,000 bill at The Dorchester hotel in London, he stole an American Express card from him and rang up $110,000 in charges." Mellon declined to comment to Page Six.
David Kur, a student. Allegedly Davis rang up a $100,000 tab on Kur's bookie account. When Kur asked to be repaid, Davis said, "[Bleep] you. I'm not going to pay. You want your money? Come get it." Kur told Page Six, "The matter is still ongoing. He's a very messed-up person. I wish I'd never met him."
Andy Valmorbida, an art dealer. Allegedly Davis stole artworks from Valmorbida and rang up credit-card bills totaling $75,000.
Page Six claims that Davis owes money to the Beverly Hills Hotel (which declined to comment), pal Jared Najjar (who said, "He paid me back"), art collector Eugenio Lopez and fashion designer Max Azria.
