Andrew,

You are on the right track, however you are missing some crucial
understanding regarding the nature of the deception, as is your friend
who is in jail.

Note I am not in jail.

I don't think this is the forum to debate this, as it is a very deep
and wide topic, some people asked me to clarify my position and I did
so, and I stand by my words.

- --Mike
