  • Good point. I think some mega-rich person should step in and play Father Christmas, I would if I had that kind of money (Royals take note)
  • There is a difference between the Farepak situation and the tsunami, wherever it may have occurred. The Farepak victims lost money which, by definition, they did not need to stay alive - it was their Xmas money. The tsunami victims were injured, they had lost their homes, land, relatives, water supply, equipment, and were deeply shocked. While not saying that one should ignore the Farepak victims, their loss was many levels below that of the victims of the tsunami.
  • only playing devils advocate hear but bare with me. 100's of businesses fold leaving employees without pension funds, jobs etc... these are people who have saved for 20 years+ not just one. What makes Fairpack more headline worthy? And can you compare the loss of a savings club to the loss of a life (tsunami)??
  • AS I said the tsunami was VERY RIGHTLY collected for I am in no way comparing the two what I mean is that the farepak folk are already from the poorer eschelons of our society and if the loan sharks get a grip of them this could lead to very desperate times I feel for them and would have liked to see them have some support
