At the time I was impressed someone would spend that much money in such an obviously transparent scheme.
All of my letters have asked me to supply my bank number so they could "park" money in it in some kind of money laundering scheme. After I sent two of them to the local Secret Service they said not to worry about it anymore.
You have to wonder about the cost/benefit ratio for this operation. Obviously if it didn't work they wouldn't keep doing it.
Best regards,
I dunno; people have been trying various forms of socialism since the Pharoahs.
