An approximately 75 year old nicely dressed white guy passed a fake $50 bill to one of my stores last week and the manager took it because he was so "trustworthy" even though she suspected it was fake. Lesson?

how would this be helping anyone anyways? ok if it is a ponzi then some people would lose there money... but i don't think it is... but if the government wins this everyone is out there money the only difference is the money goes to them instead of andy... none comes back to us. there's really no justice in this either way. the government is in a recession so things like this is how they make up for it. even if andy is guilt the government is a bunch of crooks.

RickKelley: You know, somebody told me back in May to never believe in a company that preaches about God. Reason, because "a lot' of religious people are nieve, gullable and will practically believe anything if you have somebody telling you that God will take care of you! God has no control over money!

I thought Thomas A. Bowdoin was 74.... not 75.

deem: Andy is 74. How in the world could a 74 year old man dupe this many people in his character?
This is now officially my 3rd time 'being conned' by a seemingly nice honest older (65+) white male. (1st 2 ex military so it added to the trust factor)
First it was a kitchen cabinet contractor who I gave a down payment to of 7k and he took the money and ran, then killed himself.
Second, a builder who did an addition for us, walked off the job at the end yelling and screaming that he wouldnt do the punch work and left our deck near collapse.
Third, Andy.
So , no more of that! I have learned that the older guys are just better cons....that's all.
