That the family was trying to conceal a manslaughter is buried in the article. interesting.

What do you say to your wife in that situation?

"Well, honey, you know [shrugs shoulders]... they were offering the 2 for 1 special with a reverse side-by-side BBJTC thrown in on the side for free, and, well, you know what they say, if it's too good to be true it probably is... I know... I know... it was dumb of me....

Can you forgive me?"

I don't think he actually killed anyone, that was just the line to get his family to send money.

Right, but the family thought he had killed someone, sp perhaps they were trying to send the money to cover-up the murder.

Heaven forbid his family do whatever it takes to keep him out of a third-world prison.

I think we were just discussing whether or not the family was covering-up the "murder", not whether or not it was right of them to do so.
