Ronald Bernard probably changed his name when he quit the scene, but I wonder if anyone anyone who was unethical to get involved in the first place can ever come fully clean, kind of like a drug addict even after they stop using, you really can't ever trust them completely, they are just so comfortable lying and out for themselves is their baseline its easy for them to relapse in other ways.
But what does RB stands to gain? customers for this new bank, is that going to be just a fraud? I would hope not, is it even happening?
Mostly agree, think you're being very harsh on drug addicts there, though.
I've met many who have paid their dues and who are fully trustworthy on the flip-side of hell. There's a distinction worth making, between addicts and junkies, a junky being a morally devoid fiend, though, not always beyond 'redemption'
life experience: trust sparingly and you will help good people stuck in a world of hurt. But, otherwise, yes... if you trust any ol' junky, expect to lose more than you put in.

life experience, trust one and you will be punished.

I'm not saying don't help anyone, I'm saying that addicts can't be trusted. They hurt themselves as much as everyone around them.

Oh I hear ya, my experiences get a bit dicey too. Just saying that not everyone is a lost cause in that department :)
Hell, if others had given up on me, I'd have been doomed years ago.
