Well, well....starting off as "freedom loving" and then turning out to be the opposite, now there are some other prominent names that come to mind, unfortunately, it's a scheme been repeated (whether by scammers, agents, or both!), and the quote "no more heroes, they disappoint you all the time" seems fitting more than ever.

People, stand true to your principles, and live according to natural law at the best of your abilities, that's the only thing that matters.
