Haha, this is hilarious. I lived in HCMC in 2013-14 and while I never met Joey, I became familiar with the name because he was always spamming the city's couchsurfing page with inane (and often rude and aggressive) nonsense. He made himself a reasonably well-known figure among the city's CS and expat community for this reason. (He even wrote a rambling, incoherent post on his personal blog attacking me for something I'd said to him on CS -for - long time it was on the front page of the Google results for my name.)
From his posts and his general online behavior it seemed clear to me that the guy had severe mental problems and needed help. Interesting to learn more about his backstory.

This is fake news from a potential NPC. I do say thanks. I try to say thanks. Long story short, there is more you must know about the story. This is not the whole story. Thank you for helping me. I am thankful. I have said that many times. It is too bad you have to lie to people and ignore all the details. The only thing worse would be to say that Trump is Hitler. Yeah, so, Trump is Hitler. I'm Hitler too. That must be true. And I only went to Vietnam to live at Papa Foods. Yeah, that must be true. Right?

Dude, I´ve following this guy with some kind of scientific interest for months. Maybe this guy has some kind of psychiatric problem.

This was an enjoyable read! Yes, Joey is a strange guy as seen from the video. But has he actually done any harm to you? Yes, he leeched off Andy and others and never thanked them for their kindness. I think you did the right thing - to distance yourself from him. I also teach English but quite clearly Joey has no teaching skills, as all he`s really doing is ranting about certain people (New Yorkers, etc.).
