I'm pretty aware of scams.
As you can tell, I was skeptical even of Red Bull at times.
Yeah.
What it really drove home for me is, and this is not a surprise to anybody, but what the wealth disparity of the world truly feels like.
You know, I was on my roof playing with my kids, like in my privileged, you know, American life.
And then this guy reaches out to me who I would then spend like,
months, and still I'm still texting with him every day, who is in such a different universe, such a different experience of life, impoverished from childhood.
And even the one kind of opportunity that he thought that he'd found in the world turned out to be the opposite, to be a trap that held him in slavery.
and he's one of hundreds of thousands of people, the world is a darker place than I maybe had felt.
I think we all know that intellectually, but the number of people living lives of abject poverty and, in fact, captivity,
it really hits home when you are in a daily relationship across the world with somebody feeling that.
Yes.
When he got out and got home to India, I did fly there and meet him.
I shouldn't say where I met him, but I met him face to face.
And by that point, I didn't have any doubt that he... I didn't think he was a scammer.
I think I dispelled all those doubts when he continued, in fact, to send me incredibly valuable material even after he escaped.
Like when there was no...
no sense that I would ever, I never paid him anything.
Weyer never paid him.
I was not going to pay him.
