I don't think he is deriving enjoyment out of making people happy, but rather enjoys that he's getting credit for it.
This is actually a very good and interesting point. I think that is right....he is not deriving any enjoyment from making people happy. He does enjoy gaining credibility with people. In fact,I think he derives secret joy in the fact that the truth is he is a sh*t eating scum, but through a few little tricks he is able to manipulate peoples' minds into believing he is an amazing person. At bottom, he is a manipulator and that is his thing. His joy comes from the successful manipulation. That manipulation takes many forms. Unfortunately, one of the sharpest and most pungent forms of manipulation he practices is the extreme pain infliction manipulation.
Do you think he feels any guilt when he scams people and is just addicted to it and that is all he knows? Like let's say NoNameplease shipped him 100,000. Do you think in the back of his mind he has any sort of "Fuck I just screwed them hard" but he knows he has to move onto the next thing.

Also if he wasn't a gambling addict he could potentially be retired right now.
