Even with the bribe gifts, the amount of promotions for doing absolutely nothing is mind boggling.

Alice, oh yeah!! But nobody does corporate greed and corruption like the good old U S of A!!!

Lauren, I will be taking the Great Southern train from Brisbane to Adelaide. After that will be spending time with a friend from Geelong. He and I will be traveling the GOR.

Thanks, Lauren. As you may have picked up from ACC, the US is owned by corporations. That means most of us -- even those like myself who have high-paying salary positions, have very little vacation time.

When we screw up, we do it *hardcore* 😉

Did he also buy a Delorean with his ill-gotten gains? Sentenced in 2023 but released in 2020 😆

Perfect time to visit! If you have time while you're here the sunshine coast/ noosa are nearby and have pristine beaches

I remember Queensland Health staff being given vouchers for coffee and told to go see the Salvos if they needed help while the payroll stuff was happening.

I'm going to Queensland this December! Flying from Philadelphia to Brisbane. My first time in Australia! I'm so excited.

I want the confidence of someone who can pull this shit off. I never get to embezzle anything!

How odd that this is already the second case on Swindled of a con-man pretending to be a prince.

Sooo relieved to see the US doesn't have a complete monopoly on greed, corruption, and bureaucratic ineptitude.
