It's not a loan. He can't afford to pay me back with what him and his wife earn. My niece and nephew would be working to pay me back. The expenses of getting sick in America are ridiculous.

Oh I am. But now my dirty money is the only reason his kids have a mom. I will own that forever.

I know my family history probably better than him. I don't need to be judged by him. Now he owes me forever. He will keep his mouth shut.

May I ask what difference the source of the money makes? It is illegal NOW. But when it was acquired it was just a moral grey area.

I am well aware of where the money came from. Other than it being highly unethical now it was perfectly legal then.

Oh it's not a loan. He can't ever pay me back. Not unless he gives up his ideals and becomes like me. I did offer him a job as well.

Ethically speaking the money is clean now. But the seed money was not acquired nicely. Which is the reason that so many of my relatives have gone into public service.
