Nigerian scandals
This story is quite unbelievable. A doctor got suckered by a Nigerian email scam, and although he is 89 there isn't any suggestion he was going senile:According to Louis Gottschalk's declaration, he had lost about $900,000 in "bad investments" by 1999. "I now realize that I was taken advantage of," he said.
But his son said his father kept clandestinely wiring money to the Nigerians at least until last fall. Guy Gottschalk said that when he confronted his father in October, Louis Gottschalk said, "Don't worry, everything will be all right on Thursday because I will be getting $20 million." The son said his father also told him he'd get the money this time because these were "different Nigerians."
