Thanks for sharing! It's sad that we all have to worry about people taking advantage of us. I liked how he noted, "Poverty does not make people steal. A greedy, lazy, envious heart motivates a person to steal," and "So, keep your wits about you when moving to a new country.  Keep your wits about you in your own country." Parts of that reminded me of this fascinating ESPN 30 for 30 film called Broke. It's a documentary about how athletes could have multi-million dollar contracts yet end up having to file for bankruptcy. It wasn't just one thing; There were multiple factors, and one of them was bad investments. This one guy said a friend told him it was a good idea to invest in tomatoes, claiming, "This guy knows someone who's growing tomatoes this big! (holds hands to indicate a tomato larger than his head)" That led to them showing a clip from the movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I told a friend about that and he noted if there really were tomatoes that big, he wouldn't trust them because heaven knows how they got that big.
