Fuckery Ka-Ching!
X came to me with a quandary once. He’d attended a concert, and someone he knew had given him money to buy some band t-shirts for him after the show. 4 shirts, if I remember right, priced at ten dollars each.
Only they’d been available for five dollars each.
“Should I tell ‘im, and give ‘im back the twenty bucks?”
“You know you should.”
“You give him back his money?” I asked a day or two later.
“Nope. Told ‘im they’d been fifteen dollars each, and he gave me another twenty.”
“That ain’t right, X.”
“He’ll never know. So he’s happy, I’m happy; what’s the problem?”
I loaned X the miser my last ten dollars once when he Said he was broke. And found out not long afterward that he’d had fifteen dollars of his own all along.
When asked why he’d cleaned me out when he Had money, his answer was a simple and honest one: “Well, I didn’t want to spend My money.”
But he gave me back the ten he owed. I kind of insisted on it.
Then immediately asked to borrow fifteen dollars.
“Now, why would I do that?”
“Look, I just paid you back the ten I owed, so now you know I’m good for it. So can I borrow fifteen dollars?”
I thought it over, and that seemed to make sense. So I gave him another ten and a fiver.
It only occurred to me later that I’d just given back the ten that he’d paid me back with, and another five besides. I’d been had again.
X had his own ideas about finance, lol. Where money was involved, ethics didn’t enter into it.

He'd likely do as good a job (if not better) then many candidates we've had..
