    Sir, on the basic point of this "Greed", world is moving. Even a beggar, he accumulates money/money/money since many years, which he will not use but survive on the food/clothes given by the passersby people. I am seeing one vlogger of Gujarath, who is a genuine guy and his rescue operation....Popatbhai Ahir. You will learn so many things from that. Not only beggars, greed for land/water/peoperty/women/men/war/ acquiring airports/ports ....Richest person is happy? Worm of greed always keeps eating away at a petson...

    For 1000 Rs he received back 1500. for 5.22 lakhs he got zero. Greed of a highly educated engeneering college professor. This is nothing else than POPIKALA.

    In two words; Total failure and collapse of Digitalization, which was introduced in haste touting it as the most unimpregnable in the world! Avoid doing any large ticket transactions online/digitally to protect your hard earned money from going down the drains with zilch hope of recovery unlike conventional systems like checks, drafts, and cash!! BTW, in majority cases, dubious bankers are also involved in these well oiled cartels without whose help it's impossible to carry out such large frauds! This is a very personal opinion; please do your own research and analysis 🙏
