In a way I felt sorry for him, since my first similar situation (one of many) in 1959 when I lost £36,000 Sterling in my own electronics development company [a fortune in those days] to a person with a similar type of mind (I shall not use the correct medical terminology) sadly ended up being caught by Interpol in South Africa.
I am sure that BM in his own mind started out with good intent but as all people do, with a similar problem of the mind, it always goes wrong.
Yes, we should feel very angry but some people just cannot help the way their minds work and therefore, we should, at the same time pity him (SM was just being led by her husband).
I do not think any body has posted such a post before from two points of view.
