As of now I'm tens of millions behind simply because I've refused to accept my money from Liberia.

There is a good way to earn it back. You can work from home to do it!!!

All you need to do is accept shipments at your home, relabel them and fill out customs forms, and then ship them out of the US. You will be given a shipping account to use and paid well for your service.

You misrepresented one point. I'm sure it was unintentional.

Well, there is that line of work at home too.

I was referring to forwarding packages for credit card scammers. Quite profitable.

Then of course, there is cashing checks in your own account. . .

No joke, on the train tonight I heard a guy telling his girlfriend about how he and his buddies/coworkers ran into a guy today who had a bunch of suits that "fell off a truck, Zegna and Armani at amazing prices, like $500." She was giving him a hard time for not buying one.

Was he talking about Ed?

fwiw - 70% of Americans are white. That's probably enough to understand the confusion.

I think it's more that 95% of Americans are non-Asian.

I actually got hit with the speaker scam twice in the same day in LA. When I told the second guy that I had already been offered this "deal" a few hours previous, he asked "where is the other guy?" I think he wanted to eliminate some competition...
