Mamatas' voice is at least annoying. At most it is repulsive to hear him because he is almost happy to have been such a swindler, crook, etc. He chuckles in between his stories because it must seem funny to him to be more capable than his clients. His diction is somewhat sophisticated and snide similar to Michael Moore if anyone has ever watched a Michael Moore film. His tone is calm, but it is also giddy at the same time, and honestly, hearing him hasn't changed my opinion for him at all. I thought he was a intelligent, but at the same time I thought that he was overly critical or cynical in my original piece. After hearing some of his comments, they have simply put a greater stigma of him in my mind. I don't find his work all that criminal because some people really do need help, so you can't call out an entire business for a few people that abuse the system. I think his voice made me flat out irritated because of his self-righteous tone. It's sad to think that he even went as far as to turn his clients in after he had taken their money. For people that hate him, this was a more resounding effect because you could hear his cynicism. For people that agree with him, they should read his article instead of listen because he isn't very pleasant to listen to, which is of course my opinion.
