  1. We are always told of the arrests but the end is usually the same. Aquitals and compensations.
    Hope things will be different this time otherwise no need to victimise people with insufficient evidences.

  2. Ba pompwe are trying to put this young man out of business so that they can take over.

    We have a very dodgy president that deals in the dark.

    This is indeed the year of the conman.
