What Handicap?

It has been an interesting trimester. The blind in one eye guy in my class is a HUGE manipulator. He has used every excuse in the book to delay his taking of the test. Some were valid, he had a seizure and his brother died (not at the same time). But now he has been milking it. He most recent excuses were that he didn't want the stress of taking the test to bring on a seizure before he went to the doctor (?) and he had to go to court with his sister-in-law for a family issue.
So why all the delays? Apparently, he likes to ask people what was on the test so he can better prepare for the test. One guy was nice enough to give him hints for the first test. But now because he failed the first exam, he is asking people for a copy of the test. I bet you are wondering how I know... well, the first guy he asked warned a group of us! And as of Monday, he was harassing the other guy in my class for a copy of the test.
Before all this, I had asked him how he made it through his undergraduate work and he told me that the professors made special concessions for him. Most of my classmates and I are wondering if he cheated his way through. It seems more likely than not from the behavior he is currently displaying.
Now no one wants to help him. He has not asked me because had he, I would have informed the professor. Considering there are 2 people in my class that failed the first 2 tests, it's insulting to them as well as the rest of us who struggled through both test.
