Beware of Greed and Gifts: Two Men Impersonating Law Enforcement with Connections to Foreign Intelligence

Scary stuff happens in the world all the time but this reminds us of the depths of backroom darkness that can exist (Until their caught and then someone turned the light on. That is what a case will attempt to do....determine the events, money source, objectives, involvement, etc. It comes down to showing patterns of behaviors.) Two men, lots of money, lots of gifts, and inching closer to important inner circles with potential ties to foreign intelligence 😠. When you step back and think about it you should sort of feel a little queasy that this is even possible. Yet, it is and that is why one should beware of unsolicited gifts (Well, I guess you should be aware if someone solicits gifts as well.).

Money seems so important to people. Small compromises start turning into bigger compromises and before you know wholesale moral defaults. This is why business should start with ethics because when it functions as it should it will be self-correcting but when self oriented personalities get involved it is a matter of seemingly small fractional compromises (One need is out of balance with life homeostasis and in turn forces one to change their value framework. Our lives and performance are maximized when we have a balanced life that fulfills those inner urges and needs. Sorry a little psychobabble.) Standing for Ethics.

When someone is offering something that is outside the normal framework of social expectation one should be a little cautious of what that eventually might be connect with (A bigger favor perhaps. There is probably some similarities between the old Mafia tactics and these two. It will be interesting to see what happens and if many small compromises lead to ethical lapses that sort of suck individuals into their influence). Small gifts and mutual token exchanges are normal but larger gifts and exchanges are often a sign of manipulation. Key personnel might need more awareness of how such groups infiltrate through smooth talking and incentivized behaviors. If you ever want to know who to trust....trust those who tell you the things you don't want to hear! (No seriously....they aren't saying the things you want to hear to please you while at the same time they are still fair, consistent and accurate. I trust those who have integrity and empathetic souls because they act on principles and act in the best interest of people. Most of the time we just trample them in the herd of the self consumed.. The rest are just sort of pushed around by their urges and finding avenues to fulfill them with no real awareness of what they are doing. See a description of Robopathy types of behavior. That leads to issues like this where people can be compromised based on unmet urges and needs without the awareness that limits their ability to be manipulated. i.e. someone using rumors to manipulate people who are not full conscious of their behaviors..)
