True, but I can see how a combination of debt and temptation can cause a person to lose their head. Being a commercial fisherman down here after a few really bad economic years and all the regulatory crap from the EPA and other alphabet agencies he probably had a lot of debt to make him stupid.
On the other hand in my experience a lot of commercial fishermen here are on the shady side and they often hire ex cons who can give them ideas and contacts.
Anyone else wouldn’t even know a couple guys who could market the stuff. Obviously this guy knew some shady folks well enough to bring it up to them so he’s not exactly as naive as advertised.
Yep. My complaint is the way they make it sound like it could happen to anyone of one us. I could clearly understand (sort of) if he had stored it and forgotten about it. That could be blamed on a mistake. Making a deliberate bad decision is not a mistake, but our society routinely associates criminal activity with “mistakes.”
