What if things that appear too good to be true are? What if I have a friend who invited me to put some money into something saying that I will get an unbelievable return? What if this deal started out in integrity but soon shifted once all of the free money started pouring in?

What if I dipped my toe into this affair and soon was selling my insurance and putting in my tax returns and talking my friends into doing the same?

What if my greed overtook my common sense and wiped out my intuition?

What if the whole thing dissolved for lack of integrity and we all lost everything?
