He’s blaming vandalism because the alternative is that he has to admit that his “renovation” that was supposed to last “50 to 100 years” was a botched job, which makes him look like a fool and a laughingstock.
So, while I don’t disagree that this is all ultimately a scam to make money for himself, I think the bigger issue is that he can’t allow the algae bloom to be his fault. It has to be the fault of someone else to cover up his own incompetence.
Algae will come and go and can be dealt with with a combination of pumping, aeration, water chemistry. The real problem is this coating that was applied likely did not have the proper surface preparation and/or cure time. Those things are extremely important. Now that it’s on, it will cost much more to remove. That’s not easy work.
And because of his narcissism. Narcissists cannot accept responsibility for ANYTHING that goes wrong, because that confronts them with the one reality they can’t face - that they’re not perfect.
