    This one blew me away.

    According to NBC News, Hanes missed at least one opportunity to realize that he was being scammed. After he asked for a $12 million loan from a neighbor, Brian Mitchell, his neighbor detected the scam and refused to lend the money.

    My limit is like $40.

        Well the house is presumably up for purchase now. I feel like I want to be this guy’s neighbor.

        Hey Bob, I want to buy a luxury yacht but I only have $12.50 in the bank, can I borrow $2 million please I’ll have it back to you by Friday.

          Uh, a luxury yacht costs a lot more than $2M, $2M gets you a premium fishing/speed boat.

      Damn, even with inflation? You must be super on guard. That being said. I will turn on my A game to shave $0.50 off of a set of coasters from a tourist shop while on vacation.
