That was the groom's father, not Marc. If you want to go into bloodlines, you probably would be very surprised at what you find in the Bush family. Or, for that matter, the Kennedy family. Or lots of others.

My bad, I stand corrected. Actually it seems kind of worse, a congressman defrauding people in a Nigerian scam. And we elect these fuckers?

He wasn't the scammer either, he was the victim of the scammers and defrauded people so he could send more money to them.

The yahoo report says that he was the victim of most every type of Nigerian fraud they've seen.

What a dumbass!

The fact is he was trying to get rich quick by scamming others.
Just so happens he was being scamed.
Can we agree that he was a lower level scammer?

I'll agree that he was a greedy dumbass. That's about it.

The situation sounds like a junkie trying to scrape together his next fix. Only instead of drugs this guy would do anything to find easy money. It doesn't sound like he'd be the type of guy to put together a scam, he just got caught up in them and couldn't let go of the dream of money for nothing. So he borrowed money on false pretenses, hoping it would be returned in spades from the profits of the scam he was a victim of.

Not that that excuses him. If anything I find it more reprehensible, since he was dumb enough to fall for them. Operating a scam of that magnitude would take some smarts and dedication. Neither of which appear to be qualities he possesses.

Yes we do, time after time because of limited choices.

I hadn't before, but I gave it a read just now.

The guy's a douchebag, no doubt. Still it reads like typical junkie behavior. I don't buy the claim to be nuts either.
