I found this to be a great article. And crime does not pay, that's for sure.

I completely agree with you. I also read that the nephew of Men Nguyen robbed his uncle's house while he was participating in a tournament in the USA. This also proves that not everyone in the family can suppress envy over success and is unwilling to work and earn money through their own efforts or intelligence. Thank you for the article.
