Other Notes	Mr. Bad Example is a criminal, and he's getting worse, but also better at being a criminal. First, he steals from the church, but only the donations they were never going to give to the "Children's Fund" anyway. As an adult, he steals furniture from "desperate housewives," but we don't care because they cheated on their husbands (with him, but still). Then he ran a hair-transplant operation that scammed men this time-- but vain men. But in between, he practiced law and somehow his clients were always "insane," a plea that is only used in criminal cases. So he tried to get (fellow) criminals off through a loophole the law did open itself up to. Then he meets his match-- a casino, which is designed to part fools from their money even better than himself. Undeterred, he steals again-- but from a prostitute-- and somehow still has enough money (after throwing away his "fortune" and hiring her with his "last few francs") for a Monaco-to-Australia flight.  But then he becomes downright evil. He bilks Aboriginal Australians, already the victims of massive bigotry and injustice, to the point of poverty. And flees again, last to be seen in Sri Lanka (an island off the southern coast of India). Getting "took" by the casino seems to have set him off on a course of complete dismissal of other's pain. These last victims weren't selfish people who deserved what they got to a degree-- they were just weak. At this point, he has not caused anyone physical harm or killed anyone. But if he loses his opal-mine money? He may descend further. Shame. A man with his skills could have run a legit business and made himself rich while still obeying the law and enriching his workers and investors. But he prefers the thrill and "bad-boy-ness" of his cons, and the long exotic vacations he takes in between.
