Well, just like the giant oak that falls and gives nourishment to the forest saplings seeking to grow, so do senile old people give away their wealth to young hungry people in other countries seeking to sustain their internet scam businesses. Just kidding. Although, maybe not totally. You wonder, when someone gets to some certain old age and is totally out of it, yet has tons of wealth tied up and doing no one any good, what is that money for except to be given to the next generation? I guess, some of it unwitting, hopefully more of it in a deliberate fashion to those it was intended for.... If granny can't even tell that $300k of her savings is gone, what's the problem then? Aside from her kids no longer being able to be the recipients of it. God, I hope that I am able to realize that I'm reaching such a state and actively choose to give away my control of my assets to someone trustworthy, before I get scammed.

> Well, just like the giant oak that falls and gives nourishment to the forest saplings seeking to grow, so do senile old people give away their wealth to young hungry people in other countries seeking to sustain their internet scam businesses. Why aren't these young, hungry people building something of value instead of stealing from abroad?

  It hasn't escaped my notice that most of the scammers come from former British colonies. Make of that what you will.

    In the French speaking world they come from the former French colonies (Côte d'Ivoire or Algeria).

> has tons of wealth tied up and doing no one any good Don't confuse money with wealth. Money has no intrinsic value, so "unleashing" that money would only devalue other money, and not bring any kind of holistic benefit to the global population. In other words, if you add a zero to the end of every bill and bank account, there's 10x as much money, but nobody is any better off.
