Shoe merchant indeed. Two bags of shoes can't even cover the cost of a one way ticket from Brazil. He must be related to the guy who brought roast chicken.....self snitchers.

It does not matter where he comes from, once greed, unnecessary love of money and other evil ways of making money is in ones blood there is nothing you can do about it. This guy and other drug peddling guys could make it if they use the same resources they use for the drug business on legitimate business with zeal; but they will never wait to do the right thing always in hurry to make money by all means.
