I recall a girl i knew that had this older Australian couple that she was trying to "help them get a good deal" on a locally owned Thai business. The "good deal" she was getting for these people that she was friends with to the point where she called them "mama and papa" and the relationship seemed genuine, was nearly 3x the sale price of the business.

I thought differently about this girl from that point forward. She ended up marrying a rich Australian that none of us had ever met. I wonder if she even cared about the guy. Whatever, crooks are everywhere!
