It was probably not just the light bill that was the whole problem, it was just the first thing to pay as to be able to keep working for the money. The reason he sold his computer and not his daughter's is that his was good and would actually sell..

There is logic in this. It was someone who was desperate for cash, who planned to offer work but couldn't get enough projects going, scammed for it, and then since he still didn't get that much work had sold his computer and couldn't deliver. Fucked up, but let's not go all paranoid on half-facts.
