🎶 Now I have this song in my head, Barb:) 🎶

"Say something, I'm giving up on you...

Anywhere, I would've followed you.

Say something, I'm giving up on you."

Because, as you noted so well, when the leader says nothing, they let us, the writers, tell the story for them.

Fraud is a serious matter. Just keep the community informed and let the authorities do their jobs.
