now, I have a question, do you think the man is entirely at fault or someone should also be responsible?
It's not his fault he received the money, but I'm damn sure it's entirely his fault for doing what he did with it. And Jesus, I don't think COVID relief funds could have mistakenly ended up in worse hands than a gambler. He says he's going to pay it all back, but somehow I've got my doubts about that. Depending on how hardcore a gambler he is, the government may have to wait a long-ass time before they see that money again.
But hey, it's not like this is even going to put a ding on the government's massive money vault. They could easily do what the US does and just create new money out of thin air, write a new check and send it to the right people this time. It's probably a lot of money for one person, but not for an entire country.
