I dont think there could possibly be a better time / situation / occasion / circumstance for the gamers word to be used appropriately.

Earlier this evening I stumbled upon an article that grabbed my attention. It literally jumped out of the page, onto my lap and demanded my immediate attention. According to the eGyptian authorities, an eGyptian conman had been caught and was sentenced to 1,000 years. Naturally, since I live in Egypt, I wanted to know more about the type of con the man had managed to 'almost' get away with.

Apparently the conman had tricked 500 people into giving him money since the early 1980s and the authorities caught him with an estimated $52million (USD) price tag. Now, having read the article it seems the man was trying to make a living, which in eGypt means the man earns less than 30 sterling a month... thats 60 USD a month. There are 12 months a year which means the mans annual salary is a grand total of 720USD!

Lets look at this case further. Being that the man is trying to make a living, it is very unlikely that anyone earning more than 1000USD a year would believe him (eGypt is a *VERY* class based society). so 500 people earing 1000USD a year (or less), all give this man their money (not saving any for themselves or their families) for the last 25 years... This one con man has managed to net himself, by going to these people every month and taking their money, a grand total of *drum roll* $12,500,000 USD....

I think you will all agree with me it cant possibly *EVER* reach the suggested $52million USD mark and thats assuming he took the 500 peoples monthly salaries every month for 25 years without raising suspicion.

Clearly, it seems, the man never paid the right officials the right money!
