Poverty or not thieves will always be there, just like cockroaches
By nature we’re all thieves that’s why KK made laws that investigated how one acquired wealth
He was the biggest thieve.
Talk about yourself. It always amazes me how Bembas want to spread their dirty thieving habits to be universal to humanity.
Am sure you’re also corrupt it’s only that you haven’t been caught.
