Actually, John Dee was being housed quite comfortably first by a prince, then by the emperor, and then by a count in his castle at the time he was in Rudolph's vicinity. His son remembers those years at the castle as happy years. Dee wasn't desperate for money. In fact he spent money quite liberally to get there and to get home again. It wasn't until later in his life that he was selling off his plate and that was long after he returned to England.
He was also a very pious man [and somewhat gullible] and genuinely believed in what he was trying to do. It would be out of character for him to try to dupe someone. Kelley (Talbot), on the other hand, was a scoundrel.
If you want to get into the mind of John Dee, maybe you should do some research first.
Quote:In 1583, Dee met the visiting Polish nobleman Albert Łaski, who invited Dee to accompany him on his return to Poland. With some prompting by the angels, Dee was persuaded to go. Dee, Kelley, and their families left for the Continent in September 1583, but Łaski proved to be bankrupt and out of favour in his own country. Dee and Kelley began a nomadic life in Central Europe, but they continued their spiritual conferences, which Dee recorded meticulously. He had audiences with Emperor Rudolf II and King Stephen of Poland in which he chided them for their ungodliness and attempted to convince them of the importance of his angelic communications. He was not taken up by either monarch.

This may imply he needed money or was it greed?

It turns out that this can be accommodated.
Edward = 5 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 4 = 28 -> 1
So ydaraiShy is really Edward Kelly. No need to adopt one of several ways to spell the Welsh variety of John.

Stellar, there are good ways to do research and bad ways to [attempt] to do research.
I've done quite a lot of research on John Dee and I still feel that I see only the tip of the iceberg.
Looking up something on Wikipedia is not enough. Often the information there is contributed by people with no experience in research and without fact-checking. Some of it is good, some of it is not. You need to consult multiple sources (which can sometimes take days, months, or years) and then compare and contrast the opinions, back it up with original source material, and then make up your mind.
Also, good research means gathering data and seeing where it leads. It's bad research to make an assumption and then gather only those bits of information that seem to support that assumption. Starting with an assumption tends to give you tunnel vision, even if you are a good researcher. Starting with no preconceptions is generally better and more objective.
You are supporting your own idea that John Dee did it, that's clear from your response. Instead you should be looking at the data and asking yourself WHO could have done it (which might NOT be John Dee) and was there actually a hoax?
For example, Kelley was a rogue, a scoundrel who duped many people (including John Dee). Why would you think Dee would perpetrate a hoax on Rudolph II when he was a pious man and seen as genuine by his contemporaries, when Edward Talbot (Kelley) was known to have committed fraud on many occasions?
In fact, there isn't any proof yet that Rudolph bought the VMS or that he bought it from Dee. We only know that the manuscript was rumored to have been purchased by Rudolph II and that the name of someone in his court was on the first page. Maybe it was Jacobi de Tepenecz who created it. John Dee had very little interest in plants. Jacobi was very interested in plants.
You've been discussing it as a hoax on other threads, but maybe it's not a hoax. Maybe it was passed down to someone in Rudolph's court (assuming it was in Rudolph's court) and is a genuine document from another source. It may have been seen by Dee but not necessarily possessed by Dee.
