Answers:
Of course he seems bipolar, to those who said it doesn't fit!. This kind of behavior is common for people with this disorder (I would know, I have it!)!. It's similar to a shopping spree during mania, very common side effect!.!.!. People get so hyper and happy feeling they decide to blow all their money without thinking about the consequences!.

Is he seeing a psychiatrist!? I think the main thing you need to do is convince him to get professional help!. Make sure you tell him that bipolar brings benefits too, it's not only a curse!. Then he may believe you!. (When someone's in mania they usually have a very high opinion of themselves, they feel larger than life!.!.!. so telling him that he's being crazy or that he's ill probably won't work!. He'll just brush you off because he'll be convinced that what he's doing is right!.) Don't lecture him about his behavior, he won't listen- just tell him that he's being very nice but that what he's doing might be a problem down the line!. Try to get him to do this in smaller, more reasonable steps!. You could phrase it in a way that's more positive- tell him to give money away, for example, in smaller pieces to people who really need it (like inner-city moms or immigrants, for example)!. This is also good because this way, when he comes to his senses he may feel better about himself (instead of thinking he's crazy or an idiot, since he'll obviously regret how he's doing it now)!. I wouldn't try to stop him cold, it won't work, just try to get him to moderate it some and do it in a way that makes more sense!. It will also let more time pass so his crazy mood might go away!. He'll probably think these are good recommendations, and then he'll be more likely to listen to you when you encourage him to see a psychiatrist!. Keep it positive whatever you do! If you phrase your recommendations to seek help in a positive way he might listen

Also, beware of manipulating him or lying to him (like some other people have recommended, the stuff about claiming that God or Mr!. Busi telling him to do it!.!.!.) Not that I think it's wrong from a moral standpoint, I just think it will backfire!. Just because someone's manic doesn't mean they're an idiot, he will probably see right through it and be angry with you!.

As soon as he's in a rational state of mind again convince to put some backup money in an account with someone else's signature!. (Someone both you and he trust, like some people have suggested)!.

It's terrible that his family is brushing him off!. It's nice of you to try to help him like this, I wish you the best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

If his family won't do anything there is not much you can do!. Maybe you can tell him Gary B!. called you and said he should put his money in an account which requires two signatures to take out large amounts!. Or he said to donate his money to a worthy charity!. Ultimately it sounds like he's a man with a lot of money having a hell of a good time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Find someone you trust and he likes!. Get him to give the rest of the money to them (they were sent by God)!. When he has regained his senses, the money can be given back or to a financial representative!. While I would be such a good candidate, I wouldn't advise giving the money to someone on the web!. And, you have to really really really trust them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yep!. he is in trouble!. There really is nothing you can do for him!. He does not seem bi polar though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey I live in Arizona!.!.!.Just give me his number and he can give his money to me and I promise I will give it back to him when he comes to his senses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
