Greek church? That hits a little too close to home.

I can make some phone calls back to the old country, arrange a flight or two and have all the money back (plus interest) in relatively short order.

So is this all his fault or were they doomed anyways? Was he stealing money from the company too? Stealing from the church to keep the company going? This is crazy.


Wonder where Leh will end up. Hope they didn't get scammed in this as well. Dirk has a few rides going already.

YES THERE ARE.

But they don't get their names splashed across the world in spectacle, by virtue of their being honest.
