[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I’m the doofus. And it’s a paywall link so I think I’ll cause more problems by posting it? The Sunday Times had a long story on it including some additional backstory on Christian Malanga. Here’s a free article that’s a bit less detailed https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/utah-woman-describes-terror-stepson-detained-beaten-after/story?id=110463380 Long story short - guy goes with his friend to S Africa, parents had looked up friends dad on the internet and thought he looked legit (was wearing a suit and listed himself as a Congolese opposition politician) and the next thing they know their son had taken part in the coup in the DRC. [/quote] They offered him money. He stupidly accepted. I’m going to use this as an example to my kid about the importance of how the people you know and surround yourself with can negatively (and positively) affect your life. [/quote]
