These are not the same things, obviously.
Spending $250,000 of stolen money on a new car is not a good thing to do. Its totally valid to report that Schirmer is saying he can't pay these people back yet is spending money like that. |
I said that they misrepresented their intentions to him. I don't think he would have come on the show if he knew what they were going to do. To me, that's sneaky. Mr. Rogers wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. There are better ways to deal with such situations than to humiliate the guy.
We don't know he spent $250k of stolen money on that car. He could have legitimately earned it. This is why we have a legal system in the world that can cut through this crap and find the truth and act accordingly. I don't think trial by public opinion works. We might as well go back to chasing people out of town with pitch-forks if we're going to do that.
Ask yourself this. If you went to his seminar and he said to you. Give me $92,000 cash and I will give you a 900% return in 1 year, would you give him the money? I mean, just look at his face and tell me if you would trust him with $92,000 of cash? With no contract? With no guarantee? Just hand over $92,000 cash? I would guess you wouldn't right? Then what are these people DOING!? There's gotta be more to this story than is being reported.
Or I could be totally wrong. Maybe there's so many suckers out there that you can just put on a suit and say "Give me your money" and people will give it to you.
