> [@Lust4Life](#): > > Can those on this board who are wealthy please send me their bank details as I need to get twelve million pounds out of a Nigerian bank but need a western B.A. to pay it into. Bank details? We wealthy people don’t keep it in a bank, we keep it in $1 notes in a big pool so we can go swimming in it. ---
