But I think my point stands that if they really risked it all, and maybe even more than all, if any of the principles went into personal debt, then that was perhaps a terrible and misguided business maneuver, but hardly a scammy one.
In a properly run scam, you never pay for something you can get someone else to cover and leave them holding the bag.
I'm really surprised they haven't just declared bankruptcy on this thing. They should know they can't even really run the scam without Foley.
How much are these people kidding themselves?
