Friends? Acquaintances? Strangers?
Big money is always opposite of true friendship.
These 1-minute millionaires are all over Miami Beach, from Nigeria, Malaysia, Brazil, many developing countries where the average people suffer for their "wealth" by losing the important things (clean air, clean water, natural foods).

A fool and his money will soon part ways. $50M is very obviously stolen funds and very obviously spent in the wrong way. There is a book written in French by someone from Ivory Coast. It is titled "Dieu n'aime pas les Africains". Easy to translate.
Charles de Gaulle: "Eux, les Africains, ils n'aiment pas leurs pays". Astute observation.
Proof: The President of Nigeria, the most populated African country(180 million) with many resources, must seek health care in Britain. So where are the Nigerian doctors? The most qualified ones have fled to Britain or the U.S.
