That's probably a lie.  Even if it's the truth, it still is an admission that you're an idiot because this:

is utter nonsense.  80% of the people I see at my job daily have criminal records, and I support them in their efforts to get off drugs and get on with their lives.  Does that make me a criminal?  You're claiming someone is guilty by association, and you're stretching that out so far that by your pseudo-logical reasoning you could probably claim anyone here is a scammer if you wanted to, just to fit your own agenda.  Note: my statement here isn't implying that I think Lauda is a criminal.  Just pointing out the idiocy of this reasoning.
