Diplomats are paid by our tax money. Give him a big kick in the ass on his way to jail.

It's so sad that a diplomats life is now a complete mess. There are so many things one get addicted to. The common denominator is that it can ruin your life. Whether it be gambling or substance abuse, your life can quickly spin out of control if you aren't careful. There are some people that are born with an addictive personality. However when it comes to addiction, there is nothing fair about it.

The most common way for these guys to make money is to convert money ro pay local salaries and local bills at the blackmarket rate instead of the official rate.
